Denver Broncos vs Arizona Cardinals Betting Trends
Denver Broncos vs Arizona Cardinals: Denver’s roster seems to have an advantage because there weren’t many changes made over the summer before. The second and third-string players, who will play a significant role in the first preseason game, will be really happy with this news. However, given that Payton is a well-known NFL personality, Denver should be able to get going immediately. The coaching staff had possibly the most instability of all. The Broncos have a long and difficult road ahead of them due to a difficult schedule and a new coaching staff, but for now, they’ll be OK in their first preseason game.
Free Pick and Prediction: Denver Broncos will win 22-17.
