Broncos-Buccaneers and Week 3 Picks

The Broncos are 0-2 again for the second straight year under Sean Payton, and the outlook for this season looks as grim as it has over the past eight seasons. Bo Nix has struggled in his first two starts, and there is concern that he just might not be good. Sean Payton looks like he doesn't know how to manage a game anymore, which is truly disheartening since he was so good as the head coach in New Orleans for all those years. The defense is holding up, but it is just a matter of time because our offense can't do anything. There just isn't enough talent on this roster and it feels like it is going to be a long, rough year in Denver. It doesn't matter what we do: New owners, new coach, and new QB. The Broncos are still a losing franchise at this point. They head to hot and humid Tampa Bay to take on the 2-0 Bucs with Baker Mayfield, and this feels like a really tough spot for Nix on the road as a rookie. I can't see Denver getting their act together in time for this one.

Prediction: TAMPA BAY (-6) over Denver

Final Score: Buccaneers-27 Broncos-10
