over Denver Broncos
ASA's 3-Star #108 @ Cleveland Browns (-3) over Denver Broncos - 7:15 pm CST
I have been fading Denver as of late and actually had them as my “sell” team in my weekly “NFL – Buy or Sell?” article a few weeks ago. This team is horrible on defense. If that is the case, which it is, you better be able to score a bunch of points or else you are not going to win games. Simple as that. Early in the season it looked like this team was going to be a juggernaut on offense. They ripped of 41, 39 & 34 points in their first three games. Do realize since that, the Broncos have not even broken 20 points? That’s right, in their last five games Denver’s highest point total has been 19. In those five games this once feared offense has averaged 15 PPG. Not good when your defense is bad. Over those same five games the Bronco stop unit has allowed nearly 28 PPG on average. The Broncos have won just one of their last five games which is bad. The worse part it, three of those five games have been at home. It was their time to make some headway and make a run in the poor AFC West. Now they make the long trip to Cleveland for a Thursday night game and this team flat out stinks on the road. They have played just three road games all season and after their win at putrid Oakland to open the season, they have been demolished in their other two road games. That includes a 33-19 loss @ Kansas City who has just one win on the year and that game was it. Their most recent road game was vs. New England a few weeks ago where they were embarrassed 41-7. That was a Patriot team that has average only 18 PPG on the year if you take out that Denver win. It’s a Patriot team that’s highest point total besides that 41-point blasting of the Broncos is just 23 points. That’s how bad Denver’s defense is. They rank 26th or worse in each major defensive category (YPG allowed, passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed and PPG allowed). Cleveland is making a change at QB on Thursday which many times re-energizes a team. We see that as the case here. Brady Quinn steps under center replacing a struggling Derek Anderson. The last straw was on Sunday when the Browns were driving for the tying (FG) or winning (TD) score against Baltimore. With under 3:00 minutes remaining in the game, Anderson threw an interception near mid-field that was returned for a TD ending the game. This team had been playing much better leading up to their Baltimore loss winning three of their last four games including a 35-14 shellacking of the NY Giants who many consider the best team in the NFL. A huge home game and national TV appearance here for the 3-5 Browns. They face a “defenseless” team that hasn’t been scoring points. It all adds up to an easy win for the home team.Comment
