Denver's rolling
Buffalo Performance Review
Entering Week 10, the Bills confront an unfamiliar playoff-less reality, a departure from Josh Allen's norm.
Allen, the offensive linchpin, boasts 2,423 passing yards and 18 touchdowns in nine games, coupled with 6 rushing touchdowns.
Turnovers, however, mar this performance, with Allen accounting for 9 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles.
Despite James Cook's talent, the halfback remains underused, failing to breach 75 rushing yards since week 3.
While Allen leans on his legs rather than check-downs, Stefon Diggs shines with an impressive 70 receptions, 834 yards, and 7 touchdowns, steering the Bills' receiving game.
Other receivers, like Gabe Davis, show flashes, while rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid gains traction with 7 or more targets in the last three games.
Denver Performance Review
Guided by new head coach Sean Payton, the Broncos have endured a lacklustre start but have bounced back with two consecutive wins, including a notable 24-9 triumph over the Chiefs.
Emerging from a bye week, they aim to hover just below .500. Russell Wilson, though with fewer passing yards at 1,613, displays improvement with 16 touchdowns and a mere 4 interceptions.
Courtland Sutton leads the offense with 380 yards and 6 touchdowns, overshadowing Jerry Jeudy's 336 yards and 1 touchdown.
Javonte Williams, regaining health, must evolve into a pivotal offensive playmaker, lacking a rushing touchdown this season but contributing 1 receiving touchdown.
Each Team's Keys to Success
Key strategies for the Bills hinge on ball security, necessitating a turnover-free game from Josh Allen to rectify their 5-4 standing.
Allen's recent trend of five games with interceptions is worrisome, especially facing a Broncos offence that, while not exceptional, can exploit additional possessions.
Conversely, the Broncos must optimise Javonte Williams' role.
As a top playmaker, trusting him in a potentially high-scoring match can control the clock, keeping the Broncos offence on the field and restricting Josh Allen's opportunities against a susceptible defence.
Monday Night Football betting Tips
The Broncos are hitting their straps with one of the all time great coaches at the helm.
Russell Wilson is starting to look like his former self and i'm expecting this game to be close.
Take the Broncos getting the points.
Prediction: Denver +7
