Game Analysis and Team Notes
Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders
The Broncos feature a dominant defensive line, leading the league in sacks. With Bo Nix stabilizing their offense, Denver shows balance and resilience. The Raiders may remain competitive early but are expected to fade late.
Indianapolis Colts vs. Atlanta Falcons in Berlin
The Falcons struggle offensively with turnovers and missed opportunities. Conversely, the Colts possess a strong running game and physical style, which should give them the edge after recovering from a recent sloppy loss.
New York Giants vs. Chicago Bears
While the Giants play tough defense, they lack offensive weapons. The Bears' improving young offense, combined with a strong pass rush, is likely the decisive factor at home.
"The Broncos’ defense is elite up front, leading the league in sacks by a wide margin."
"Bo Nix has become a steady closer, and Denver’s offense is showing balance."
"Indianapolis figures to bounce back after a sloppy loss."
"Chicago’s pass rush will make the difference at home, especially with the Giants lacking weapons."
Note: The Bengals, Chiefs, Cowboys, and Titans are on bye this week. All times listed are Pacific, and TV coverage refers to the Los Angeles area broadcasts.
