Prediction:
This game like every game in Denver has to be taken as a question mark. In their 56 years of existence, the Patriots have saved some of their worst football for games in the thin air. When the schedule was announced, I had this one chalked up as a loss for precisely those reasons above. But certain factors have changed.
The Broncos are one-dimensional on both sides of the ball. They’ve struggled to run effectively and to stop the run. That makes them vulnerable against the better teams in the league and it is a big reason why they’re 8-5 this season.
The Broncos pass defense is #1 and their pass rush is outstanding but with a couple of banged up linebackers and a rush defense that is suspect, the Patriots have enough weapons, especially out of the backfield to put pressure on them defensively. Lewis and White have big games in the passing game and the defense gets a turnover or two. Siemian will get yardage but it won’t be enough. Blount closes the door late and lo and behold the Patriots win one in the Rockies. Patriots 27-17
