Game preview
The Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars each have 2-5 records and four-game losing streaks. One of these two teams will be raising water from their sinking ships this season.
There have been legitimate rumors that if Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett fails to win the team this week, he will be fired. This rumor follows new owner Greg Penner offering less than optimistic comments on Hackett’s first seven games.
“I support Nathaniel and I really want to see him succeed,” Penner said Friday. “He is a head coach for the first time. There are a lot of new things to put in place. He and I talk every week and I love talking with him about the game. He’s incredibly passionate. But he knows we’re not performing at the level we expect, but we have high expectations for him in the second half.
This game could be for Hackett or maybe he could buy himself another week to get things straight. It sure looks like some kind of week-to-week affair now.
Kick-off is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. Mile High time on Sunday, October 30, 2022 at Wembley Stadium in London, UK. You can watch the live stream of the game via ESPN+.
My prediction
In partnership with DraftKings Sportsbook, I’m covering all my picks this year on TallySight. I can’t help but predict Broncos wins every week. At some point my losing streak will end and it will end the same week the Broncos losing streak ends. Let’s do it this week, huh!
