Top Week 10 NFL office pool predictionsOne of the top Week 10 NFL pick'em predictions from the model: The Broncos cruise past the Eagles for a comfortable six-point win. The Broncos are yet another AFC contender who have had an up-and-down season. They won their first three games, lost four in a row, and have now won their last two to get back to 5-4 and into the thick of the NFL playoff picture.
Denver's last win was its most impressive, as the Broncos beat the Cowboys 30-16 as double-digit underdogs in a game where the final score didn't indicate how lopsided the game was. Denver ran out to a 30-0 lead, and Dallas' 16 points came in the final 4:08 of regulation with the game in hand.
The Broncos dominated at the point of attack, rushing for 190 yards while limiting a strong Cowboys running game to just 78 yards. Meanwhile, Denver quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had an efficient 19-for-28 day for 249 yards and a score. The Broncos now have the No. 2 scoring defense in the NFL and the No. 6 total defense.
The model predicts Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts goes just 18-for-31 for 212 yards on average. That's a big reason why the Broncos win outright in over 60 percent of simulations despite being just 2.5-point favorites at home.
