Writers told to stop making game predictions
Digital Sports Daily —
... not get a single complaint from outside,but I did look at the predictions before the San Diego game. Obviously, I had seen these for years. And it occurred to me that it must be making it hard for news reporters, especially when they pick against the team they cover. In an equal vein, these beat reporters don’t want to seem like homers, always picking the Broncos. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed an unreasonable position to put these reporters in.”

Denver Post Beat Writers Banned From Making Predictions
The Big Lead —
... the thought of Denver hitting six wins would have been a best-case scenario. Presumably, the writers were picking against the Broncos, and the fans responded by giving them the business during the team’s 6-0 start. Just curious - let’s say a beat writer was making picks and missed eight weeks in a row. Does that somehow mean said writer doesn’t know/understand the team or the game? If you want to use that logic, there needs to be a scoreboard for ESPN predictions. [Westword] ...

But aren’t they taking themselves a bit seriously? DONUT 3: NFL Something to watch for tonight (Jazz at Mavs, 7:30 p.m. at the AAC, and yes, full day-and-night coverage from DB.com starting … now!): How frequently the Mavs, coming out of timeouts or closing quarters with set playcalls, execute with precision to get good shots. His advantage in that area was glaring on Saturday – of course, when he gets to be ...

Denver is 6-1, I predicted them to be 5-11 on the season. You would think that I wouldn’t be upset about the record but I am. Denver lost today, and was virtually embarrassed by a final score of 30-7 at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens had a lot to prove, the ...

How good are the Ravens ? Don't be fooled by the 3-3 record. They've beat the teams they should have (KC and CLE), and won against a tough SD team. Their losses came to teams that are pretty good (NE, CIN, and MIN). Don't sell this team short.
On the other hand, ...
Denver Broncos vs. Pittsburgh Steelers - Can The Broncos Keep This Up?

Now, as Coach Dikta famously says - you are what you are. And the Denver Broncos ...

Ahhh the feeling of coming off of the bye week. I actually had to care about other teams for 2 days. Denver and Baltimore both get 2 weeks to prepare what should shape up to be a pretty damn good game in week 8 when the Broncos visit the Ravens. The Ravens are a 3.5 point favorite as ...
