Week Eleven, Thursday Night
I’m having a crazy busy week and it’s looking like I’m not gonna be able to get all of my foolish football picks done before New Jersey-Denver kicks off. So here’s what not to expect this evening.
NY Jets (-6) at Denver
If this game were being played on Sunday or in New Jersey, it wouldn’t be close. And it shouldn’t be close tonight. Not even with the Frat Boys having to travel on a short week. Not even with New Jersey coming off a tough, emotional loss to New England on Sunday night. Not even with LaDainian Tomlinson out with a knee. Because the Broncos are short on running backs, too. They’re also short on NFL quarterbacks, which is to say, their starter isn’t one. But I suspect it will be close. The Frat Boys still win, but not by six. I wouldn’t give more than a point.
