Denver Broncos vs. Washington Commanders Prediction
I’m on the Broncos in this one. I think the Commanders sending Jayden Daniels out in what looks like a lost year is kind of interesting, but doing so against this Broncos defense I think is foolish. You have two teams headed in different directions right now and I just have no desire to back Washington in this spot. I’ll side with Denver in a blowout here.
