Week 11 Picks

In our weekly picks showdown, Gabe has owned the month of November. Last week, he followed up his 9-4-1 with a season-best 11-5 performance to dwindle the gap to 8 with 7 weeks to play. Like the great Pervis Ellison though, I'm never nervous.

On to tonight's epic Broncos-Jets tilt:

LAST WEEK:

Gabe: 11-5

Dave: 6-10

SEASON:

Dave: 71-67-8

Gabe: 63-75-8

Jets (-6.5) at Broncos

Dave: Broncos - You'd like to think this game would be right in Gang Green's wheelhouse since they are good at stopping the one thing Denver actually does on offense: run the ball. However, it's hard to have much faith in this Jets team in general, let alone the fact they'll be travelling across country on a short week to face one of the most unorthodox offensive units in the history of football. Denver's offense makes Army's offense look like the Run N' Gun and, eventually, that constant pounding combined with the thin Denver air and the short rest will wear down this Jets defense. It's hard to bet against Touchdown Jesus given what he's done since taking over three weeks ago, so I'll roll with the Broncos to, at the very least, keep it under a touchdown.

Gabe: Broncos - Easy. The Broncos aren't good, but they have an identity. They know who they are and what they do. But, the BIG reason I think the Broncos get the outright win the Jets are playing this game on a terribly short week. Their last game ended at midnight and now they have to travel to Denver three days later. Give me Denver to win by a touchdown.
