The Denver Broncos will be hosting the Washington Commanders in the Mile High City in Week 2. Here’s how to watch the game!

We’re ready for Week 2 today with the Denver Broncos hosting the Washington Commanders as Denver looks to avoid an 0-2 start to the season.

Game Preview

Let’s start with baby steps. Last week, we were reaching for the stars hoping for some amazing turnaround that would lead to the team’s first playoff berth since the 2015 season. Instead, we wound up with another close game at home that Denver would find a way to lose and, again, to an AFC West rival.

So back to the drawing board and back to that first baby step... win a close game. This game should be close, since the Broncos are still not scoring a lot of points and the defense is just good enough to give up just enough points to overcome the 16 points the offense loves to score. Time to score 20. Give us that baby step.

The Broncos should win this game. The Commanders are not a great football team and being at home should give Denver the edge to win this game, but until they learn how to stop losing, anything could happen.

Here’s how to watch.

Broncos-Commanders Betting Odds

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Broncos are still somehow favored to win at home against the Commanders with an opening line at 3.5-points for Denver. That line has held all week and still stands at 3.5-points today. The over/under is 38.5, so oddsmakers are expecting a rather low scoring affair today. I think Denver does end up coming out on top by a score of 20-17, so I have the Commanders just barely covering the spread here and coming in just under that 38.5 mark.

Fan Sentiment

In our weekly Broncos fan survey, we had a series of questions and, surprisingly, the mood in Broncos Country is somewhat subdued, but remains upbeat. 53% of fans still believe the team is heading in the right direction and a 66% of them liked what they saw from Russell Wilson in Week 1. That carried over into our final question over whether or not this team will turn things around in Week 2 against the Commanders. 56% of us still believe this team can and will win today.
