Come join us to discuss today’s game between the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons in Week 11.
Two teams battling for playoff positioning within their respective conferences will face off this afternoon. However, the Denver Broncos need this win more given how tight it is after falling to .500 last week. The Atlanta Falcons hold a two game lead in their division and should have less urgency for a win than Denver has, so we’ll see how the Broncos respond when it is a must-win type situation at home.
Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, November 17, 2024 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. You can watch the live stream of the game through FuboTV or on FOX. The game will be called by Kevin Kugler (play-by-play), Daryl Johnston (analyst), and Laura Okmin (sideline). You can also check local Broncos radio network affiliate stations.
Broncos vs. Falcons game predictions
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are favored by a mere 1.5-points over the Falcons today. I think Denver should win this game and I think they’ll cover that line. I like how the Broncos offense matches up to the Falcons defense. I think they should be able to score some points this week. Even though Brandon Jones is out on defense, I still like how the defense matches up against the Falcons offense as well. Give me the home team in this one.
Prediction: Broncos 27, Falcons 23.

Bo Nix converts on third down. Steps up in pocket. Keeps shoulders squared as throws on run. Another example of Nix’s growth over the last six weeks. #Broncos

Looked like the #Broncos slid Matt Peart down one spot on the FG unit and had Alex Forsyth outside one spot. So those two trade places on the left side this week after the blocked FG last week.

Thanks to multiple Falcons penalties, the Broncos were able to stop the Falcons in the red zone.
The Falcons will move the ball, but it’s about holding them to FGs.
Mission accomplished for Denver on the first drive.

Williams’ 2-yard reception was well short of the first down. Broncos will punt.

Marvin Mims gambled on the punt return by running backwards, but it payed off as he picked up 6 yards on the return.

Big play on third-and-long, as Bo Nix finds a wide-open Marvin Mims Jr. for a 37-yard gain.
Denver is 3-of-4 on third down despite a couple of third-and-longs.

STOPPED
The Broncos’ defense stopped the Falcons on third down.
Going for it on 4th.

Falcons line up to go for it from their own 40-yard line, and Cousins has all sorts of time.
Finds Drake London for a 26-yard gain.
Big moment. Would’ve been a huge stop for Denver.

Zach Allen was down on the field for the Broncos. Looks like he was trying to move is ankle around. Allen has been outstanding for Denver this season. Walked off on his own power.
