Broncos and Eagles Gear Up for a Battle of Relentless Defenses—Who Will Break First?

The Broncos were a team that gave me some good cash on Monday Night, but I’m going to spoil this a bit and let you know that I’ll be fading them here. For the season, Denver is 2-2, and they looked really good on Monday Night against a bad Cincinnati team. The defense has been one of the best in the league against the pass, but their opponent isn’t quite known for passing the ball. They also faced Daniel Jones who is known as more of a runner (even if he is having a great season so far), and Cam Ward in his first career start. So, three games against average quarterbacks, and one against a very good one. Denver hung in the two losses, losing on walk-off field goals for both. They coasted to a big win on Monday, and despite some odd play calls, they scored four touchdowns. They did most of their damage on the ground, and the Eagles have one of the better running defenses in the league. Overall, the Eagles’ defense is hard to beat, but they have allowed 25 or more points in the past two games, so it does open the door for the Broncos a bit. Bo Nix can use his legs, and he has done a great job. The Eagles have given up some rushing opportunities to opposing quarterbacks.
