NY Giants vs. Broncos score pick

This NY Giants team is very much a work in progress.

Leading up to, and following final roster cuts, the NY Giants have spent the better parts of two weeks aiming to add depth along the offensive line in the form of bottom-of-the-roster players such as Billy Price (acquired via trade from the Cincinnati Bengals) and Ben Bredeson (acquired in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens), along with practice squad addition Matt Skura.

In addition to the revolving door along the offensive line, Jones has yet to practice with his full complement of weapons on the field together at the same time.

Those are a lot of moving parts, ahead of a game with an offense that boasts as much firepower as the Broncos do; receivers Courtland Sutton, K.J. Hamler and Jerry Jeudy, tight end Noah Fant, and Gordon, as well as a defense loaded with playmakers at all three levels.

This won’t be a blowout, by any stretch, but the Broncos are just the better team to open the season.

Prediction: Broncos 17-13
