Denver Broncos: Predominantly Orange’s week six primer
By Andrew Wade
Thursday, October 11
Philadelphia @ New York Giants
Has anybody noticed the Eagles are actually not very good this year? They have a ton of talent, but as a team, they’ve been inconsistent and bad.
I love this matchup. It’s a huge rivalry game and the Giants are getting 3 points. Give me Eli, Odell, and Saquon all day. Giants will win this.
Line: New York Giants +3
Pick: New York Giants

Arizona @ Minnesota
Arizona finally won a game, albeit against the 49ers without their franchise quarterback, and the defense came alive. If you started them in fantasy, you were riding high Sunday.
Minnesota has been an up and down team all year considering the high expectations that were placed on them. Although Minnesota is clearly the better team, they’ve been playing down to the competition this year, and 10.5 points is too much for me to take Minnesota.
Line: Minnesota -10.5
Pick: Arizona
Buffalo @ Houston
Buffalo has realized the Josh Allen isn’t ready, and they are game planning around that by running the ball repeatedly. In the upset over Tennessee last weekend, Buffalo rushed 44 times and only threw 20 passes. Regardless of whether Buffalo will win, they will keep it closer than 8.5 points with their deliberate game plan to run down the clock.
Line: Houston -8.5
Pick: Buffalo
Tampa Bay @ Atlanta
This is a must win for the Atlanta Falcons as they currently sit at 1-4. The Buccaneers, however, are coming off a bye week and Jameis Winston will be motivated to show the Bucs he is their franchise quarterback.
Line: Atlanta -3.5
Pick: Tampa Bay
Carolina @ Washington
Neither team has overly impressed me so I am going with the home team on this one.
Line: Washington -1
Pick: Washington
Indianapolis @ New York Jets
Andrew Luck is getting his swagger back and although they got beat pretty bad on Thursday Night Football last week, I think their offense will be too much for the Jets.
Line: New York Jets -2.5
Pick: Colts
Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati
Watch out, there is a changing of the guard in the AFC North. The Steelers look bad this year, and the Bengals are 4-1. The Steelers defense is terrible, and the Bengals have quite a few weapons to exploit that defense.
Line: Cincinnati -2.5
Pick: Cincinnati
