Hawk Valley Regular Season Week 5 October 6, 2022

Denver Broncos vs Colts

Quick Review

The Broncos lost to the Josh McDaniels led Las Vegas Raiders 32-23. The offense looked better in this game, the run defense was terrible.

The media focused a bit on Russell Wilson this week. It was mentioned that he’s an “influencer” on some internet apps and people are beginning to think he’s too focused on that part of his life. Some members of the media have started to count the number of times he blinks during interviews. I think this is a result of his subway commercial, which was awkward.

The following players are out for the Colt game: SLB Jonathon Cooper #53, FS P.J. Locke #6, RG Quinn Meinerz #77, WLB Arron Patrick #94.

Bronco players that were limited this week: QB Russell Wilson #3 (right shoulder), RB Melvin Gordon III (neck), LG Dalton Risner (Ankle), FS Caden Sterns (Hip and Chest), RCB K'Waun Williams (wrist)

Outlook

Strength of schedule favors the Colts so far… their opponents have a winning percentage of 38% compared to the Broncos opponents winning percentage of 31%.

The Colts offense is dead last in the NFL after four games this season. The Broncos are not far behind, they rank 30th out of 32 teams. The Broncos are averaging 17 points for the season and 17 points per game over the last two weeks. There are only two teams below the Broncos offense this season. The Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts. That strength of schedule is 38%. The Colts are averaging 14 points per game for the season, but 19 points per game over the last two weeks. There are 12 teams below the Colts over the last two weeks. That strength of schedule is 42%.

Tonight things will be different for the Broncos. Williams is out and the Broncos will have to use Gordon who ended up in the dog house last week. I’m sure Gordon will be motivated since the Broncos just signed another running back…. Will the Broncos overlook the Colts tonight?

PICKS, PICKS, PICKS - Week 3

The IN THE ZONE Sports team is back for another round of PICKS, PICKS, PICKS. The NFL season got off to a rousing start last week and there were some decent college games. There was some movement in our standings as Donny decided to take a week off and Willie and Dwayne took full advantage and ascended to the top of the standings.

This is one of those weekends that we will look back and remember how this shaped the season. We’ve got four matchups and teams who are both ranked and division rivalries in the NFL such as Cowboys vs. Redskins, Seahawks vs. Rams as the NFL returns to Los Angeles and the Packers vs. Vikings in the brand spanking new U.S. Bank Stadium. What do the ITZ guys see happening? Take a look at our picks.
