Denver Broncos vs Detroit Lions
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Denver Broncos vs Detroit Lions is an inter-conference matchup: the AFC Broncos hosting the NFC Lions. Our model leans Detroit Lions's way (62% to 38%, DET -1.5), but Denver Broncos are live enough to make it interesting.
Tactically, Denver Broncos will want to lean on smart play-caller to attack Detroit Lions, whose secondary depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Detroit Lions's balanced scoring could punish Denver Broncos if wR depth goes unaddressed. It is the kind of trade-off decided in the margins: third down, the trenches, and the turnover battle.
Keep an eye on Bo Nix (QB) and Jared Goff (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Broncos get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
