Week 7 Thursday Night Pick




Denver Broncos (-1.5) @ Arizona Cardinals- While the Broncos have a better record than the Cardinals, they have lost four straight.  Denver is also 1-9 on the road in their past two seasons.  Arizona's rookie QB Josh Rosen is 1-1 since taking over as the Cardinals starter and 2-0 against the spread since taking over starting duties.  Denver's defenses have also gotten shredded by the run in the past two weeks including 225 yards from scrimmage from Gurley in week six and 235 from Crowell in week 5.

The Cardinals have a rookie quarterback has played better than Keenum but his offensive line is one of the worst in the league.  David Johnson, a stud running back, is only averaging 3 yards per carry this season.  Plus the Cardinals offense has not looked sharped due to its competition.

Overall, the Broncos should find it much easier to contain the Cardinal's offense compared to the Rams who had a season low 23 points.  I am expecting a bounce back game Keenum despite an injured throwing hand.

By the way, that lone road win that the Broncos had in the past two years was also on a Thursday Night game.
