Game Prediction!
The Pick: Denver Broncos ML
The Cleveland Browns just snagged a nice win against the Steelers, but let's be real—they've scored 18 points or less in 8 of their last 9 games. They've got a lot to prove before I can really trust them, especially when they're playing away. On the flip side, the Denver Broncos are hustling to stay in the playoff mix. They're not just winning; they're 9-3 against the spread this season, covering in 5 of their last 6 games. The Broncos are the stronger team, playing at home, and they're making bettors happy. I'm taking the Broncos to win by a touchdown.
