Broncos week 1 vote

Way too early for me, is Ward guaranteed to start? 7.5 seems high but this kid has zero chance at Mile High against the best secondary in the League bar none.  LB’s and DL aren’t too shabby either….

No Team will be better prepared then this experienced Sean Payton coached Broncos… i could see Donkeys trip up and win 27-24 or because the Titans could be way over matched in this spot and Broncos roll 31-10 

Broncos need a Run game to happen and I’m not sure what the Titans bring defensively to stop that…Broncs OL is legit once again. Ward looks slick indeed…smart player.  I think this line drops to 7 or below….but no need watching lines imo unless you’re an early bird.  My spots all have limits on early wagers for week 1 GOY etc.  

Would really be interested in a solid evaluation of this Titans team… 

I like the Broncos ML in parlays & Broncos in teasers. As for laying the points, I can't do it. I think the line goes up to -8.5 or higher by game time.

 I agree it’s too many points 

thanks for sharing. 

I know I know Denver added pieces in the offseason.  Their improved record and the off-season additions has eye balls on them.  Tennessee is on the move up. 

Ward could be improve the Titans

My improved definition is the first few weeks made ats covers in the first 5 weeks. then I’m done cases the lines started adjusting and it became mire difficult.  

The hyped week 1 teams are Denver and Washington 

we’ll see how this transpires 

just like Daniel’s did for the commanders

just like Stroud did for Houston

just like William did for Chicago 

Denver ML and Teased down as an anchor seems about solid as it gets . Can Ward rookie start in Mile high ? If Titans win straight up you just tip your cap and move on . I’m not buying that happening . 27-13 along those lines . Maybe titans back door to get the +8

The Titans allowed 100 fewer yards than the Broncos did a year ago (only the Eagles surrendered fewer yards), but were -16 in turnover differential and thus gave up 460 points. Only two teams allowed more. Besides being 3-14, Tennessee was a putrid 2-15 ATS, and yet they were 8-9 in the stats! That makes them a play on team in 2025, but I don't like them in this spot. The line seems a little short to me, and expecting a rookie QB to win on the road, at a tough venue, against a top notch coach and one of the best defenses in the NFL, might be too much to ask. They'll have to play a clean game to cover, let alone win outright, and I don't see it. Feels like a 24-13 kind of game.

This would be a good time to hear the rookie qb ats record in their first nfl road game trend.

I don't know it, but I doubt it's good 

From Marc Lawrence's Playbook mag from a year ago: "NFL QBs selected #1 overall in the NFL draft are 4-20-1 outright in their first career start since 1983." That fourth win came in last year's season opener where the Bears with Caleb Williams rallied past the Titans, 24-17. If I recall, Chicago didn't score an offensive TD in that game, much to my chagrin. I had Tennessee in that one. 

my favorite broncos player is shannon sharpe 

I like TEN.

Denver -9.5 $5000

Thanks for that tidbit. So it could very easily be 3-21-1, as Caleb didn't do anything to get em a cover.

My vote would be Den -7.5, I don't care how much Cam Ward will or won't improve the Titans. I'm actually rooting for him, I think that he's a good kid and works his ass off. But I wouldn't bet on him in week 1 otr, especially at mile high. No way no how. 

It feels like everything I've heard in supporting the Titans +7.5 is just wishful thinking. Just for week 1. I think that all of the reasons supporting the Titans and Cam Ward are legitimate, and make sense, but for the long haul. Let em find their groove.

History shows us that rookie qb's are really going through a gauntlet in week 1.

?? agree!

I have huge respect for team data.  

In this case I’m not congruent with player data.  

id like to see a list of these individual quarterbacks.  

Who are the recent quarterbacks?  The game has changed from running friendly rules to more passing friendly rules.  Without the listing of the players it’s difficult for me to assess the trend.  

Cam Ward in 2025 probably isn’t congruent with a lot of these quarterbacks. 

Looks like a 21-17 type of game. Broncs winning, Titans covering IMO
