Do you have any bold predictions for this game or an X-Factor? What do you believe will be the final score of the game?

I’m a superstitious person, so at the risk of jinxing anything I think this game ends in a blowout and we get to see some Paxton Lynch garbage time play (insert three happy hands emojis here). The Broncos have weaknesses that the Bucs just don’t have the ability to exploit, especially if Donald Stephenson is able to come back this week.

Save for Gerald McCoy, the Bucs don’t have the volume of disruption across the defensive line like Cincinnati to beat down the Broncos offensive line, though they do have some nice young linebackers in Lavonte David and Kwon Alexander.

On the flip side, the Broncos DL has been their weakness on that side of the ball and the Bucs OL has just been putrid this year. The Broncos defense is just too good and it’d take Winston’s, Mike Evans’, and Doug Martin’s best performances plus a little more for them to make it a game.

With the Broncos making more of an effort to give Sanders and DT the ball throughout the game, I think the offense is up to the task to put this one away before the clock hits triple zeroes. Gimme the Broncos 38-14.

Thanks for taking the time out to talk to us Dan. Tune in next week when the Predominantly Orange Fanzone talks about the Falcons with a special guest.
