Jax @ Cin

The Cincinnati Bengals host the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. Under Zac Taylor, the Bengals have never won week 2. This year may be different since they play the Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence was supposed to be the next Peyton Manning for all the hype he got being drafted number one overall. I would say he is an over paid bust. 

The key for Cincinnati is to stop runningback, Travis Etienne. Crowd the line of scrimmage and make Lawrence beat you. Jacksonville has a good couple wide outs in Brian Thomas Jr and rookie Travis Hunter, but I don't think that will be enough. 

I'm predicting the Bengals start the season 2-0.

The Denver Nuggets may be the team that can take out the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets did bring the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals this past post season.  They resigned Bruce Brown, signed Tim Hardaway Jr., Aaron Gordon will be healthy heading into the season, and Nikola Jokic will be a top three MVP player. Losing out on Jonas Valanciunas sucks, but maybe they'll be able to sign Bradley Beal if he becomes available?

The LA Clippers beat down the Denver Nuggets last night to take a 2-1 lead in their series. The Clippers were better than the Nuggets in almost ever statistical category which showed since they won by 34 points.  Nikola Jokic had a triple double, but only scored 23 points which is below his season average of almost 30 points per game. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon both score in double digits, but the rest of team didn't help too much.  Denver and LA were 2-2 in the 4 games they played against each other this year.

BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos and Bo Nix are playing well this season. After beating their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders last night, they hold an 8-2 record.  Don't get too excited though, they have only beaten one team above 500 (Eagles). Their two losses are against the Chargers and the Colts.  Don't get me wrong, this team is playing well, has a good defense, and a good young quarterback, but lets see how they do against teams with winning records.  Their nect game is against the Kansas City Chiefs.
