Denver Broncos: 3 Bold predictions vs. Patriots in Week 10
By Bruce Matson
The Denver Broncos will host the New England Patriots on Sunday Night and here are three bold predictions for that game.
With the Denver Broncos dropping four straight games, they will get an opportunity to turn things around on Sunday Night Football against the New England Patriots. The Broncos are currently tied for last place with the Los Angeles Chargers with a 3-5 record in the AFC West Division. They haven’t won a game since Week 4.
The Patriots currently sit atop the AFC East Division standings with a 6-2 record. They have won four straight games and are looking to add to their impressive winning streak. They are also incredible effective on the offensive side of the ball, ranking first in the league with 411.1 total offensive yards per game. Tom Brady has been a silent assassin this season, leading the team to an impressive 302.1 passing yards per game average which ranks first in the league. They’re also good at running the ball, averaging 109 rush yards per game, ranking 16th in the league.
Denver’s defense will have their hands full on Sunday night as they play one of the most high powered offenses in the league. Their defense might be one of the few units in the league that can contain them. Denver’s defense is very stout against both the run and the pass and is considered one of the best defenses in the NFL. With that being said, this could be a fun match up to watch.
Brock Osweiler is slated to start the game at quarterback. His last start was horrific as he completed just 19 of his 38 pass attempts for 208 yards and one touchdown while throwing two interceptions. It will be a long night for the Broncos if Osweiler continues to play this way.
The Broncos are the underdog in this match up and like every game they’ve played, they have a chance to win this one. However, their chances are very slim since they are proving to us every week that their offense can’t move the football. Don’t be surprised if the Broncos drop their fifth-straight game.
Even with Denver’s offensive woes, this is still an intriguing match up. The Broncos have enough fire power to keep up with the Patriots if they can hold on to the football and figure out a way to sustain drives. With all that being said, here are three bold predictions for this game.
