New York (0-0) vs Denver (0-0) Game Preview
Why Denver Will Win
The New York Giant offense line is still a concern.
It should be better, and it did what it could to boost it up, but it’s still not going to be a strength early on. Meanwhile, Von Miller is back for a defensive front that should be far better at getting behind the line and should pressure Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley all game long.
Offensively, at least the passing game will be consistent. Teddy Bridgewater isn’t going to be Patrick Mahomes, but he’s solid enough to keep things moving with an improved receiving corps – Jerry Jeudy is a year older and Courtland Sutton is back – to work with.

Both defenses will be terrific, and both offense will game manage more than turn it loose, but Barkley will make a Week 1 difference and Jones will slightly outplay Bridgewater.
It’ll be a fun battle, even if it’s not always scintillating.
