The Denver Broncos opened the season with back-to-back triumphs. The wheels have however come off since as they will seek to end a four-game skid when they visit Arizona Cardinals Thursday night. The Broncos lost by only a field goal as a seven-point dog against the powerful Rams their last time out, and I think they will win this game outright.

The Broncos are only 2-4 on the season, but Arizona is even worse at 1-5 and the Cardinals took a 27-17 beating at Minnesota last week. The Broncos have struggled to stop the run all season, something that shouldn't be an issue in this matchup as the Cardinals are averaging a league-worst 64.0 rushing yards per game.

Trends supporting Denver: Cardinals are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games in Week 7 and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight Thursday night games. Broncos are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 Thursday night games and 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.
