Since the opening odds released showing the Denver Broncos were slight home underdogs to the Atlanta Falcons, the line has shifted favorable towards Denver. They are now home favorites. This is a critical game for both teams who are in the thick of their respective conference playoff positioning, but it is clear that the 5-5 Broncos need this win more than the 6-4 Falcons.

Collectively, our Mile High Report staff is predicting a Broncos 28-15 home win over the Falcons in Week 11. While the staff does seem to be fairly confident the Broncos will manhandle the Falcons, not all of us think it’ll be a two-score victory on Sunday. Here is where we each landed individually:
In a game of matchups, I like how the Broncos offense matches up to the Falcons defense. I think they should be able to score some points this week. The Broncos defense also matches up well against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons offense. Overall, with this game being at home, I just don’t see how the Broncos can afford to lose this game and remain a serious playoff contender. - Tim Lynch
The Broncos have had a lot of success this year against the NFC South. That trend should continue against the Falcons. After a tough loss to the Chiefs, the takeaway should be that Denver is a good football team. That might seem silly to say, but the fact that most experts picked them to be at the bottom of the division shows what little faith people had in what Sean Payton is building. The offense will bounce back against a lesser opponent and Kirk Cousins will become very well acquainted with the ground. - Adam Malnati
This is a must-win matchup for the Broncos who can’t afford a three-game losing streak. Their playoff hopes depends on it. The Falcons are a tough opponent, but Sean Payton has done a great job against his former division and has a shot at making it a perfect 4-0 mark in his NFC South Revenge Tour on Sunday. I’m confident that Denver will get back on track and deliver a sound victory. - Chris Hart
Does Denver sweep a division for the first time since 2015? Yes! The team is getting healthier, and they should have won against the Chiefs. Some fire in their bellies, continuing development from rookies and sacks to go around and Denver scores an easy win. - John Holmes
