NFL picks: Take the Broncos by a mile

LAS VEGAS — Minus quarterback Joe Burrow, Cincinnati is rudderless, a one-winged fly in the corner of the sill. Despite its record, Denver is solid and will add to the Bengals’ miseries.

Minnesota’s thumping of the Bengals on Sunday happened to be one of the tamer, predictable outcomes on one of the league’s craziest, zaniest days that culminated in piles of ripped-up tickets from coast to coast.

Now, to reflect and reiterate just a bit. I stand at a woeful 19-29, which I hope to turn around as more insights about these teams are compiled.

(It’s fine to fade my picks, too.
