Week 16 Broncos vs Eagles NFL Predictions

NFL Week 16 Game of the Week – Denver Broncos vs. Philadelphia Eagles

NFL Football Betting Odds: PHILADELPHIA -7, Total 41.5

It is conceivable that Denver can clinch a playoff spot this Sunday, if a few things happen. That would be a quite a reward for a roller coaster season, in which Jay Cutler was traded, six straight wins and then four straight losses. They came back with a couple of victories, and now have dropped two straight, one to the undefeated Indianapolis Colts and another to the Oakland Raiders, who staged a last-minute drive down the field to beat Denver at Invesco Field by a point.
