Fresh off their bye week, the Denver Broncos are hoping to finish their last six games of the season strong. After an impressive Week 11 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Broncos are now in the driver’s seat of the AFC West and in the hunt for the top seed in the conference. This week’s matchup? Taking on the Washington Commanders on the road for Sunday Night Football. Let’s take a deeper look at Denver’s Week 13 opponent and what the Broncos need to accomplish to earn their tenth victory of the season.

The Denver Broncos are coming out of their bye flying high atop the AFC West having defeated Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago. They’ll now be on the road in prime time against the 3-8 Washington Commanders. This is a game the Broncos should win, but they’ve tended to play down to opponents that they are expected to defeat. Will that trend continue here in Week 13?

According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 4.5-point road favorites against the Commanders in Week 13. The over/under stands at 43.5 for this matchup.

On paper, this matchup is the worth of the Thanksgiving Day bunch, but with the return of Joe Burrow it makes the game a little more interesting. At 3-8, the Cincinnati Bengals season is over, but they can still do some damage to the 6-5 Baltimore Ravens who are fighting to stay in the AFC playoff mix with six games to go.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 6:20 p.m. Mile High time at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland and will air on NBC.

My Prediction

According to FanDuel, the Ravens are huge 7-point favorites...

Hopefully the Dallas Cowboys can learn from the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts were up 20-9 over the Kansas City Chiefs in the final quarter and had just intercepted Patrick Mahomes. They played scared. They played cautious. And the Chiefs scored the games final 14 points to win it in overtime. To beat the Chiefs, you must never let up. They are a beatable teams in 2025, but if you play like you are afraid they’ll win… well, they’ll likely win.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. Mile High time at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas...

We’ve got some massive football games this Thanksgiving Day and that isn’t always the case historically. First up is an NFC North battle for second place — thanks to the red hot Chicago Bears — with the 7-3-1 Green Bay Packers on the road to take on the 7-4 Detroit Lions. The winner will at least keep pace with the Bears who have their own dogfight on Friday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Mile High time at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan and will air on FOX.

My Prediction -------------...

Happy Thanksgiving! The thirteenth week of the NFL regular season has arrived. My Week 12 picks fared quite well. I picked 11 of 14 games correctly. Through twelve weeks I’m now sitting at 120-58 with predictions. Let’s see how well I can do with my Week 13 picks.

Thanksgiving Day (Early Game) — Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Winner: Lions

Thanksgiving Day football starts off with an NFC North rivalry. This is matchup is a great way to start the holiday. The Packers are 7-3-1 while the Lions are 7-4, but both trail the Chicago Bears who are 8-3...

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving, Broncos Country! Today is one of my most favorite holidays of the year. There isn’t a whole lot better than getting to spend time with loved ones, eating delicious food, and enjoying a three-game slate of NFL games.

There are a lot of things to be thankful for. However, I’ll keep this Broncos themed. First and foremost, I’m grateful the Denver is back to being a successful franchise. It has been a long time since Denver has been this successful. After Super Bowl 50, there wasn’t much to be excited about with Denver. The constant...

After a nice long bye, the Denver Broncos are back for the final six games of the regular season. They are locked in a major battle for the number one seed in the AFC and must keep winning despite having a 9-2 record. They will catch the Washington Commanders without their start quarterback and riddled with injuries to boot, while Denver is getting most of their missing starters back for this one.

“I think we felt—and we didn’t get into it, but I think we felt realistically when we… Obviously the scans and all of that were important,” Payton said....

Lutz, Wattenberg, and now Roach!

According to multiple reports, including NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, the Denver Broncos have signed defensive tackle Malcolm Roach to a three-year contract extension worth up to $29.25 million dollars and includes $14 million in guaranteed money.

After signing kicker Wil Lutz to a contract extension, Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton told reporters they spoke to a couple of other players/reps about contract extensions. Not even a week later, we have deals for starting center Luke Wattenberg and now run-stuffing defensive lineman Malcolm Roach.

I said yesterday that re-signing or extending Roach needed to be...

The Denver Broncos finally got the chance to enjoy the bye week.

After seven games in 39 days, and winning all seven, the Broncos received a mini-bye before hosting and beating the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, coming off the full bye week, Denver is hopefully fully recharged and about to get some players back from injury. For those keeping track at home, the Broncos (9-2) have played just one game in the last 23 days.

Up next for Denver is the host Washington Commanders (3-8) on Sunday Night Football.

FanDuel Sportsbook currently lists the Broncos as 6.5-point favorites. The total...

The Denver Broncos have had a well-deserved and much-needed break during their bye week. Players are rested up. Guys are getting healthy. The team has been working to improve, correct, and prepare for their final stretch of games before the postseason.

Like many of you out there in Broncos Country, I like playing arm-chair coach (or GM in the offseason). Here are the top 3 things I think the Broncos should sharpen up in order improve as they wrap up their season:

1. Reduce procedural penalties

The Broncos are leading the league in penalties. Riley Moss gets an atrocious...

According to multiple reports, including NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, the Denver Broncos signed center Luke Wattenberg to a four-year, $48 million dollar extension that includes $27 million in guaranteed money.

After signing kicker Wil Lutz to a three-year contract extension earlier in the week, Head Coach Sean Payton told reporters that the team talked to a few other players about potential deals. It was later reported that those two players were center Luke Wattenberg and defensive lineman Malcolm Roach.

Apparently, those talks went well as Wattenberg has agreed to a new four-year extension with the Broncos.

Wattenberg is a...
