Those looking at the sportsbook odds for Sunday’s clash between Denver and Washington may be just hoping for a good game as these two have combined to lose their last six games. Will the Broncos get back on track, or will the Redskins break out of their funk?

Broncos vs Redskins odds – Sunday, November 15, 1:00 PM ET

The Broncos (6-2) have lost their last two games, both against AFC North teams Baltimore and Washington, by a combined score of 58-17. Denver couldn’t get anything going in their 28-10 loss to Pittsburgh at home on Monday night, as Kyle Orton was 23-of-38 for 221 yards and three picks, while the Broncos managed a paltry 27 yards of rushing. The Broncos are starting to come back to where their NFL odds said they would be, and a trip to Washington is just what the doctor ordered.

The Redskins (2-6) fell 31-17 at Atlanta for their fourth straight loss, and you don’t even know where to start with Washington, whose NFL odds are pretty much non-existent right now. Jason Campbell was 15-of-22 for 196 yards, a touchdown and a pick, but he was sacked five times in the first half. They gave up 181 yards on the ground, and committed 10 penalties. If you can take a positive out of this game, it’s that the Redskins converted nine of their 16 third-down attempts. 

Unlike the Pacquiao vs Cotto odds, where there is a clear favorite, this game figures to be closer as the Broncos are a 3.5-point favorite on the road. They haven’t played in Washington since 1998, when they pounded the Redskins 38-16. It won’t be that bad this time, but Denver should be able to win this rather easily. With Clinton Portis on the sidelines, the ball will be Campbell‘s hands more, and he may get hurt by the Denver pass rush behind that awful offensive line. The Washington defense is decent, but they get worn down due to their offensive problems, so this would be a great time to get the running game back on track.

NFL Picks: Denver -3.5
