Denver Broncos: Predicting each game in second half of 2021 season

Week 10 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

This seems like a game the Broncos should be able to compete in. It’s a home game against an Eagles team that is not going to the playoffs this year. They are young and still developing their future.

But they haven’t been terrible and have competed in most of their games and actually have a winning record on the road this year, including a 38-point beatdown of the Detroit Lions last week.

But are the Broncos really better than these guys? Does having home-field advantage really matter for these Broncos, who would have lost to Washington if that team was competent at all?

The answers to both questions there would seem to be no, and the Eagles also have Jalen Hurts, who could have a field day against this Broncos defense.

There are not too many “winnable” games left on the schedule for this Broncos team and though this seems to be one of them, we can’t forget how bad the team looked against Washington, who looked absolutely terrible themselves.

Hurts and the Eagles will come into Denver and get this one, though there will be points on both sides.

Prediction: Eagles 28, Broncos 24

Record: 4-6
