Let's get into my Broncos vs Falcons predictions and picks for NFL Week 11.


Falcons vs Broncos Picks

Spread

This matchup does not bode well for the Falcons. Their defensive front, which can't get pressure on the quarterback, is facing the best pass-blocking offensive line in the NFL.

Bo Nix continues to show impressive comfort in Sean Payton's offense, and I suspect Denver will be able to move the ball easily. As long as you can get the Broncos laying less than a field goal, they're my pick.

Moneyline

I'm not betting the moneyline for the Broncos. I'm content laying the 2.5 points.

Over/Under

I have no bet on the game total.

My Pick: Broncos -2 (-105)

Falcons vs Broncos Preview — NFL Week 11

I was super impressed with Bo Nix last week despite the Broncos’ devastating loss to the Chiefs. He looked poised in a matchup against a really tough defense in a difficult environment. His comfort and competency has been on display all season, and that performance further emphasized a solid rookie season.

This week, it’s a much different matchup for Nix.

The Falcons defense is nothing like what the Broncos faced in Kansas City last week. Atlanta generates very little pressure on the quarterback, and it can be beaten in multiple ways (26th in DVOA against the pass, 19th against the run).

The Broncos' offensive line should have its way. Denver’s O-line ranks first in pass block win rate and should be able to power a strong ground attack here.

Sean Payton should be able to implement whatever kind of game plan he wants offensively, and that unit should be able to be efficient here.

The Falcons are coming off a divisional loss to the Saints but are still in control of the AFC South. Atlanta goes from playing in a dome to a non-conference game in Denver at altitude.

The Broncos defense will know what it’s going up against and how to make the Falcons' attack uncomfortable. I’m expecting Denver to bring a heavy dose of blitzes to throw Kirk Cousins off.

On one side, you have Nix — who should have a clean pocket to work in — and a Broncos offense that should be able to do whatever it wants. On the other side, you’re going to have Cousins under pressure, which will inevitably lead to a mistake or two.

The NFL market is usually pretty efficient at this time of year, and I don’t see a ton of value from a power ratings perspective. Based on this matchup, though, I’d recommend taking anything under a field goal to back the Broncos.

My Pick: Broncos -2.5
