“I don’t think Buffalo is very good, they’ve lost too many good defensive players. I’m going to take the Broncos. I know, I know, but you’re not giving them a fair chance. Let me tell you about Denver, take the Broncos. Extra rest for Sean Payton, four straight games of 100 yards rushing, playing younger defensive players, they’ve held opponents under 20 points in three straight games. Russell Wilson is now being smartly used as a complementary player. He’s very good as a complementary player. Take away the first 3-4 weeks, that’s not what Denver is now. They’re younger on defense, they’re running the football, Russell Wilson is a complementary player, and let’s be honest about Buffalo… They lost their best corner, their best linebacker, a top interior defender, a safety-- they’re just not as good, they don’t blow teams out. Buffalo has lost the turnover battle in four straight games. Each of their last five games have been decided by six points or less. This is going to be close. I’m going to take Denver with an upset 27-26. It is hard to unsee things, and Denver was so bad in the first month that it is hard to unsee that. They are running the ball, Russell Wilson is a complementary quarterback play, I’m going for an upset-- Denver wins."
