Chris’ Pick
I’m leaning towards Denver here. I’m still not sold on the Browns even after the win against Pittsburgh, mainly because Pittsburgh’s offense hasn’t been good at all this season and they just fired their offensive coordinator if you needed more proof. The Broncos are playing really well right now on both sides of the ball, and should have no problems taking out the Browns who are still on PJ Walker and DTR as starting QB options while Russell Wilson looks to have turned back the clock with his recent play. Give me Denver here.
