Throwing Darts: Everyone likes the Broncos
We’ve thrown darts for six years and giving you a winning season in five of those years. Let’s see how it goes this time along.
As always, we’ll be using the line from Yahoo Football Pick’Em. We won’t use games if they move off the board. Share your picks in the comments, play along. Five weekly picks, that’s all we ask.

Philly +3 at NYG: Who’s the better team here? Football Outsiders still ranks the Eagles at No. 1 in their DVOA ranks. I don’t trust Ben McAdoo as far as I can throw him.
Cleveland +7 vs. Dallas: Browns competitive just about every week, and perhaps Dallas gets caught a little flat in a sandwich game, and off last week’s snappy OT win.
San Francisco +3 vs. New Orleans: You have to hold your nose and pick ugly dogs sometimes. Niners at home, rested, more time for Kaepernick to be comfortable in the offense. Saints defense still something we can pick on.
Denver E at Oakland: Raiders a fun story, but they keep winning all those coin flip games. Can’t go on forever. Big brother asserts dominance.
Seattle -6.5 vs. Buffalo: For all of Russell Wilson’s issues, the YPA is still decent, and there are weapons here. Defense is terrific. Seattle still a legitimate home-field advantage.
Last Week: 3-2
Season: 21-18-1
