How it plays out

Denver Broncos vs Arizona Cardinals is an inter-conference matchup: the AFC Broncos hosting the NFC Cardinals. Our model makes Denver Broncos a heavy favorite (73% to win, spread DEN -3.5).

Tactically, Denver Broncos will want to lean on stingy defense to attack Arizona Cardinals, whose secondary depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Arizona Cardinals's dynamic QB could punish Denver Broncos if run game goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.

Keep an eye on Bo Nix (QB) and Kyler Murray (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Broncos at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
