Stephen Nover's NFL Bookie Basher - 8-1-1 NFL!
(NFL) Washington vs. Denver,
Point Spread: -3.50 | -109.00 Denver (Home)
Result: Loss
Give me the 0-1 home team versus the 1-0 road team. Give me the Denver defense instead of the Commanders offense. 

These are the main two factors why I like the Broncos to defeat the Commanders by more than a field goal at Mile High Stadium. 

Washington was nip-and-tuck with Arizona, by far the worst team in the NFL, before pulling out a 20-16 home win last week. Commanders QB Sam Howell was sacked six times and committed two turnovers in that loss. 

The Commanders were turnover-prone last season committing 23. They still are turnover-prone and the veteran, savvy Denver defense knows how to take advantage. 

Russell Wilson didn't set the world ablaze in last Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but he was improved under Sean Payton. Wilson completed 27-of-34 passes for 177 yards and two TD's. I'm expecting Wilson to be much better this season. He's showing signs of that. Payton gives the Broncos more credibility on offense than they've had in the past.
