Denver Broncos: 25 or Under? Week one edition
It’s time! Week One is just a few days away, the Denver Broncos will be heading to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants.
What a time to be alive! Denver Broncos football is back and is heading to East Rutherford, New Jersey. For the first time in quite some time, the Denver Broncos are favored by three points in a road contest with the New York “Football” Giants.
That nickname seems a bit outdated if you ask me.
If you followed the NFL last season, teams like the Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, and eventual Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers scored a lot of points. In fact, the NFL as a whole went on a scoring tear last season.
Not only did the NFL average an all-time high of 24.8 points per game, but there were five teams that averaged more than 30 points per game last season alone. If you are someone who likes to bet, you would probably place a wager on one of those teams being the Kansas City Chiefs, right?
Wrong.
While their rounded total would just hit 30 points per game, they technically averaged just 29.6 points per game. Along with the three aforementioned, the Tennessee Titans and New Orleans Saints also averaged over 30 points per game last season. That is quite impressive.
With the average number of points per game (24.8) at an all-time high, I will be predicting whether the Denver Broncos can score 25 points each week against their opponent and if they can hold their opponent to under 25 points.
25 or Under?
Can the Denver Broncos put up 25 points against the sturdy New York Giants‘ defense? Can the Denver Broncos hold the New York Giants’ hobbled offense to under 25 points?
