ASA NFL play on Denver Broncos -3 vs. Arizona Cardinals, 4:30 PM ET - The Broncos and Sean Payton have built some solid momentum in the preseason and are excited with rookie QB Nix, who has looked good in two games. Nix will not start or play in this game but we expect Denver to focus on winning this game and head into the regular season on a positive note. The Broncos have a QB2 battle going on between Stidham and Wilson who are capable backups. In limited action in the two exhibition games these two QB’s are a combined 23/37 for 248 total yards. The Broncos are 2-0 in the preseason with a 25-point win and a 4-point win. Arizona is 0-2 and will also sit starters in this game, including QB1 Murray. That leaves the quarterback duties to Ridder and Tune who are also battling it out for the QB2 spot. Last week with those two QB’s getting all the reps the Cardinals offense produced just 150 passing yards and 13-points. Arizona’s defense gave up 24-first downs to the Colts, 356 total yards and 24 first downs. NFLx teams that are coming off a 20+ point win in their previous game have a cover rate of 63% in their next game dating back 10+ seasons. Denver fits the bill this week after a 25-point win over the Packers last week. Lay it.
