Mile High Roundtable Renders Predictions & Picks for Broncos-Giants

The Denver Broncos have the chance to get out to a 5-2 start with the New York Giants coming to town for a Week 7 throwdown. The Giants are 2-4, but their fortunes have changed with the emergence of their dynamic rookie duo of quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo.

The Broncos have won three in a row and are coming home from a successful two-week road trip that took them as far east as London, England. Will the Mile High faithful give some energy and swagger to a stagnant Broncos offense that's been stuck in neutral?

Will the Broncos' league-leading pass rush get to Dart and force some takeaways? Will the Broncos' sketchy special teams tighten up its kick and punt return coverage with the addition of four-time All-Pro J.T. Gray?

Let's go around the table to see how the Denver Broncos On SI/Mile High Huddle staff envision this one shaking out. Be sure to follow our editorial staff and excellent writers on X/Twitter, which are linked next to each author's name.

James Campbell (@JamesC_MHH) 4-2: While it was great to see the large swathes of Orange and Blue in London, for the Broncos, there's still no place like home. The Giants will be a trickier task that many may give credit for, especially with Dart and a solid rookie core. Frankly, it's far beyond time for the Broncos to start putting together complete games, but moving the chains consistently with better decision-making and execution will be important. Defense keys the win, with six sacks of Dart and a couple of takeaways, while Pat Bryant breaks out as the Broncos honor the beloved Demaryius Thomas entering the Ring of Fame.

Pick: Broncos 28, Giants 8

Keith Cummings (@KeithC_NFL) 4-2: Fresh from rather fortuitously edging out the New York Jets in London, the Broncos will be thankful to be home. Riding a pass rush that racked up nine sacks last week makes perfect sense when facing a rookie quarterback. But on Sunday, it's former the Giant, Evan Engram, who steals the show by grabbing a pair of touchdowns from Bo Nix.

Pick: Broncos 24, Giants 10

Thomas Hall (@ThomasHallNFL) 4-2: Returning home after a rough outing (on offense and special teams ) in London and inducting Thomas into the Ring of Fame makes for a magic elixir needed to get on track. The Broncos will dominate at home.

Pick: Broncos 31, Giants 13

Chad Jensen (@ChadNJensen) 4-2: Takeaways have been the one missing component to this ferocious Broncos defense. That all changes with the Giants in town. The Broncos feast on the second rookie quarterback they've faced this season, picking off Dart twice and forcing two fumbles. The Broncos also get the ground game rolling with J.K. Dobbins breaking the 100-yard rushing barrier as the home team humbles the upstart Giants.

Pick: Broncos 27, Giants 15

Zack Kelberman (@KelbermanNFL) 4-2: Welp, despite my prediction last week, the Broncos did not blow out the winless Jets and instead made the game much closer than it deserved to be. The Giants are another quote-unquote "inferior" team, but they're also scrappier than the Jets. I still foresee a Denver victory, but I'm reticent to forecast another dominant showing — at least from the offense.

Pick: Broncos 23, Giants 13

Nick Kendell (@NickKendellMHH) 4-2: The Broncos may not have won "pretty" the last two weeks, but there are no style points in the league. Denver is struggling with special teams coverage units and penalties to go with an erratic offense. Thank goodness for the defense. This game may be another ugly one given the injuries on Denver's offensive line and the talent on the Giants' defensive line, but the Broncos should win at home.

Pick: Broncos 16, Giants 9
