OUR PREDICTION: The Broncos have had a rough go of it trying to cover against the Bengals, as they’re 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games versus Cincinnati. Trevor Siemian has done a fine job leading the Broncos to a 2-0 record but coach Gary Kubiak said that the signal-caller is also still adjusting to the speed of the game. Siemian has three interceptions through two games and if he continues to turn the ball over today the Bengals are going to win their home-opener. In fact, bank on Siemian losing the first road start of his career.
