Broncos vs. Jets score predictions: Denver should come out with a win in New York The Denver Broncos (2-2) have a very winnable game on the road against the New York Jets (1-3) Youth Customized Denver Broncos Jerseys , but their history on the east coast is one that should give us pause. Nothing ever comes easily in the NFL.Collectively, the Mile High Report staff thinks the Broncos win easily 26-16 over the Jets. Against a rookie quarterback like Sam Darnold, who has struggled, a veteran defense like Denver’s should be able to control the game defensively. So if they do that, then the Broncos would only need an efficient offensive performance to win this game by two plus scores.Here is how we each broke this game down individually.Broncos 27, Jets 13It feels like the issues on offense might be here to stay with the Broncos in 2018, but against a team like the Jets there is no reason two scores don’t win this game for Denver. It is a road game on the east coast, however, so I won’t take anything for granted in this one. - Tim LynchBroncos 27, Jets 20I think Royce Freeman & Philip Lindsay notch a rushing TD each, and Keenum finally gets back on the TD board with an endzone target to Courtland Sutton. Sanders will less in receptions & targets. However, I think Keenum also throws another pick.Meanwhile, the defense will face a group with little in the way of playmakers. The iffy secondary will still give up some big plays it shouldn’t, but I think this is the game the Broncos’ pass rush gets back on course. - Taylor KotheBroncos 24, Jets 21A tough game on the road, this is the win that gets the Broncos back on track for a play-contending season. Von Miller will show up and give the Jets’ rookie QB a nice “Welcome to the NFL” sack while Chris Harris Jr. will send him a pick-six welcome package. I expect Case Keenum to have an improved game, taking advantage of a weak Jets’ secondary and a prime Courtland Sutton. Life is back to good on Monday. - Laurie Lattimore-VolkmannBroncos 23, Jets 6This game is a hard one to predict. One one hand you have the Broncos playing an early game on the east coast on the road. On the other hand, Sam Darnold kinda sucks. Then again, we only scored 23 on a piss poor Chiefs defense AT HOME www.broncosauthorizedshops.com , and the Jets are at least “middle of the road” on defense (exactly middle as they rank 16th). So, how can I predict we score even the measly 23 we did against the Chiefs? Plus the finger pointing has begun with the “offense needs to score more points” talk. Ugh. What to do, what to do? How about we slap around a rookie QB the way everyone else slaps around rookie QBs? How about we don’t be the “typical Broncos” and be the poster children of career games for other teams and players? How about we try that on for size guys! - Pete BaronBroncos 29, Jets 13The Broncos are more talented than the Jets. The Broncos are a better team than the Jets. The Broncos are going to beat the Jets. It’s not hard. Run the ball. Let the rookies take over and they should have no problem. 29-13 Broncos. - Adam MalnatiJets 23, Broncos 20There is no doubt the Broncos should win this game. They should win this game rather easily. How many times have we said that the last two years, only to feel either anger or disappointment at the result? In Denver’s last six games played on the East Coast, it is 1-5. Overall, in the last nine road games, the Broncos are 1-8 and 4-13 in the last 17. It’s OK, I’ll be that one fan. - Ian St. ClairBroncos 31, Jets 9Last time the Broncos played the Jets, they shut them out, and that was with Trevor Siemian at the helm, and are facing a talented but turnover prone young QB in Sam Darnold. I expect this one to be as easy of a win Denver will have on their schedule this year, and will help fans get last week’s taste out of their mouths. Broncos 31 (with a defensive TD), Jets 9. - Jeff EssaryGive us your score predictions in the comments section below.Will the Broncos D ever be able to stop a tight end? Good morning, Broncos Country!In the midst of the Raiders’ 33-13 meltdown against the L.A. Rams last week, one player remained unfazed and just charged through the mighty Rams’ defense without abandon - tight end Jared Cook.The 10-year veteran torched the Wade Phillips-led Rams defense with 180 yards on nine catches - which, for the math majors, is a 20-yard average on each catch.That would seem like an amazing day for the tight end and an embarrassing one for the Rams’ defense...until you read the Broncos’ stat line on covering a rookie tight end named Will Dissly.That 265-pounder lumbered for 105 yards against the Broncos defense on just three catches.THREE CATCHES!! (again Denver Broncos Womens T-Shirt , for the math majors, that’s an average of 35 yards per catch).It was a definite lowlight in the Broncos’ win over the Seahawks, and one that better be addressed this week, or the embarrassing Raiders may just show some life in Mile High.Joseph blamed the 105-yard allowance primarily on “missed tackles” - which has some truth to it considering Dissly is a freight train. But the fact remains that tight ends repeatedly exploit Broncos linebackers and secondary, and Cook just might do the same.“He’s a mismatch and a great receiving tight end,” said his coach Jon Gruden, speaking to the Denver media by phone. “If you give certain coverages, certain matchups like this game sometimes presents — if you’re lucky enough to have the wild card that can win, you can put in all kinds of plays to help him be a dominant player.”Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr knows how dominant Cook can be.“He can do everything. He can block. He can run routes. He can play the in-line tight end, he can play the full back spots. He does a lot of things for us,” Carr said. “To have the ability to do all of those things, allows us to do our whole offense when he’s in the game. That’s crucial for us to not just be one dimensional.”Gruden and his quarterback are not wrong, and the Broncos will need an answer for Cook.The question is, do they have it?“The tight ends, we haven’t fixed that yet,” coach Vance Joseph said about the perennial Achilles heel to the Broncos’ defense. “That guy had too many big plays on us last week. ...The tight end is going to be a challenge this week. He is a physical mismatch for most safeties, and definitely for backers. We have to have a plan to bracket him and to play a safety over top of him like he’s a receiver. Hopefully we can rush the passer, speed the quarterback up and kind of help us cover these guys. He’s going to be a challenge.”And if the Broncos don’t contain him?“It’s going to be a long day for us,” Joseph said. “We have a plan, and hopefully it works to a T on Sunday.”Rookie Bradley Chubb knows his assignment for that plan.“Know what he can do and try not to let him do it Denver Broncos Hats ,” Chubb said. “Whether it’s me guarding or a DB guarding him, dropping the coverage and stuff like that. We’ve just got to make sure we contain him and not let him get too big on us.”The good news for the Broncos defense is that last season Cook didn’t get too big, only catching one ball for two yards in the second matchup and just three for 46 yards in the first one. So based on that small sample size, at least Cook’s performance is trending down when it comes to the Broncos.But Cook won’t be the only offensive weapon on the Raiders’ roster that can exploit the Broncos’ defensive weaknesses.Marshawn Lynch also carries that badge. Though the running back is old and cantankerous, he can still drag 142 people with him to the end zone. Inside linebacker Todd Davis recalled having to “gang tackle” Lynch last season to keep him contained - which the Broncos mostly did last season, holding Lynch to just 12 rushing yards in the first outing but 67 on the return matchup.“He’s a different beast, a different creature,” Davis said, adding that they studied a lot of film on Lynch to learn his running tendencies. “You definitely have to bring all of your weight behind the tackle, and the whole gang has to help. He’s a great runner, and you definitely have to bring it when you tackle him.”Will Parks called Lynch’s ability to remain upright “ridiculous.”“I saw the play the other [day] where he dragged the guy seven yards to the end zone. His phenomenal strength is ridiculous,” Parks said. At the end of the day, as long as we worry about us, we should be fine.” Outside linebacker Shaquill Barrett had some more advice.“Just gang tackle. Everybody run to the ball, pursue to the ball and just tackle him low,” Barrett said. “When you go up high, he’s just going to keep running and turning those legs. So, go low.”Horse TracksJon Gruden, Derek Carr praise Von Miller: 'He's a walking Hall of Famer'The Raiders' head coach and quarterback are impressed by Denver's outside linebackers.Oakland Raiders begin preparation for Week 2 against the Denver BroncosFollowing a disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Rams Week 1, Head Coach Jon Gruden and Co. will try to rebound against a division rival.Through My Eyes: Justin Simmons and the anatomy of an interceptionIn his own words Denver Broncos Womens Hoodie , Justin Simmons takes us through his third-quarter interception of Russell Wilson.Von Miller says Raiders offensive line got “a whole lot better” with addition of Kolton Miller - Silver And Black PrideWhen the Raiders selected UCLA tackle Kolton Miller in the draft this year, many fans were puzzled and/or unsupportive of the pick.
