Broncos at the Bye and Week 10 Picks

The Broncos are on their bye week this week, and they are in a really good position at this point of the season. At 7-2, Denver has a 1/2 game lead on the Chiefs for the AFC West, and they are also in contention for the top seed in the AFC with Buffalo, Jacksonville, and Cincinnati. The Broncos got through their gauntlet of a schedule to start the year, and there are a lot of winnable games on the schedule the rest of the way. They are also going to get some injured players back after this week. It should be a fun run the second half of the season, and Broncos fans have a lot to look forward to the rest of the way. 

Now, here are the picks for Week 10...

Last Week's Record: 8-7-0

Overall Record: 75-63-4

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Detroit (-2.5) over New England (in Munich)

Kansas City (-3) over ATLANTA

CLEVELAND (+4.5) over Houston

GREEN BAY (-3) over Minnesota 

TENNESSEE (+10.5) over Jacksonville 

Carolina (+2.5) over NEW ORLEANS

Buffalo (-8) over JETS

LAS VEGAS (+6.5) over Seattle 

ARIZONA (+9.5) over Rams

DALLAS (+3.5) over San Francisco

Pittsburgh (+4) over CINCINNATI

BALTIMORE (-4.5) over Chargers 

Week 10 TNF Pick

 GIANTS (-2.5) over Washington

Broncos-Panthers and Week 9 Picks

This is a tricky game for Denver. They are 6-2, winners of four straight and coming off a big, emotional win over the Chiefs last week 28-24. Now, they head to Carolina to take on the Panthers in the early window on Sunday. An unfamiliar opponent, traveling to east coast, early start time, and a bye week coming up. This feels like a trap game for the Broncos.

Prediction: CAROLINA (+2.5) over Denver

Final Score: Panthers-23 Broncos-20

Now, here are the picks for Week 9....

Last Week's Record: 10-4

Overall Record: 67-56-4

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Atlanta (+3) over Cincinnati (in Madrid)

NEW ORLEANS (-3) over Cleveland

INDIANAPOLIS( +5.5) over Dallas 

Detroit (-7) over MIAMI

WASHINGTON (+6) over Rams

Giants (-3) over PHILADELPHIA

KANSAS CITY (-9.5) over Jets

Houston (-5) over CHARGERS

Arizona (+8.5) over SEATTLE

Green Bay (+3) over NEW ENGLAND

Las Vegas (+9.5) over SAN FRANCISCO

Tampa Bay (+6.5) over CHICAGO

MINNESOTA (+3.5) over Buffalo 

Week 9 TNF Pick

 Jacksonville (-9) over BALTIMORE

Broncos-Chiefs and Week 8 Picks

This is about as big of a game for the Broncos that you are going to get in Week 8. Denver is 5-2 and they host the 5-1 Chiefs. Denver lost to the Chiefs in Week 1, so if they lose this game, then they have a real tough road to win the AFC West. A win here, and the Broncos have a real chance to win the division. I always get nervous when Denver is playing Patrick Mahomes, but the Broncos have played well against KC at home the last few years. I'll do something I don't normally do, and I'll ride the Broncos as home underdogs this week.

Prediction: DENVER (+1.5) over Kansas City

Final Score: Broncos-23 Chiefs-20

Now, here are the picks for Week 8....

Last Week's Record: 9-4-1

Overall Record: 57-46-4

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Baltimore (+3) over BUFFALO

Tennessee (+12.5) over CINCINNATI

DALLAS (-7) over Arizona

DETROIT (-3) over Minnesota

Las Vegas (+2) over JETS

PITTSBURGH (-3) over Cleveland

TAMPA BAY (-2) over Atlanta

JACKSONVILLE (-9) over Indianapolis

RAMS (-6) over Chargers

MIAMI (+7) over New England

Philadelphia (+6) over WASHINGTON

SEATTLE (-3) over Chicago

Week 8 TNF Pick

 GREEN BAY (-3) over Carolina 

Broncos-Cardinals and Week 7 Picks

The Broncos head to Arizona with a 4-2 record to take on the 2-4 Cardinals. Before the season, this looked like one of the most winnable games on the schedule, but after the Cards beat the Rams last week, this might be a tough game-especially with Bo Nix and the Broncos offense struggling. After a gauntlet of games to start the season, Denver finds itself at 4-2 and with a chance to get on a roll here. I can't see the Broncos blowing out the Cardinals with the way the offense has looked so far this season. Maybe they can get it on track this week, but I have a feeling the defense is going to have to lead the way once again. This feels like another nail-biter. 

Prediction: ARIZONA (+4.5) over Denver

Final Score: Broncos-23 Cardinals-20

Here are the picks for Week 7....

Last Week's Record: 7-6-1

Overall Record: 48-42-3

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Pittsburgh (-3) over New Orleans (in Paris)

BALTIMORE (+1.5) over Cincinnati 

Cleveland (-1) over TENNESSEE

Indianapolis (+6.5) over MINNESOTA

Miami (+4.5) over JETS

Giants (+10.5) over HOUSTON

San Francisco (-2.5) over ATLANTA

Tampa Bay (+3) over CAROLINA

Green Bay (+3) over DETROIT

LAS VEGAS (+3.5) over Rams

SEATTLE (-2.5) over Kansas City

Dallas (-4) over PHILADELPHIA
