Broncos are 2.5-point road favorites vs. Colts in Week 2
After a strong defensive win at home in Week 1, the Denver Broncos will be on the road next week to take on the Indianapolis Colts who are also coming off a huge offensive and defensive dominant win on Sunday. Both teams are 1-0 heading into Week 2, but it is Denver who might have some questions to answer about their offense in this next one.
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 2.5-point road favorites against the Colts in Week 2. The over/under stands at 43.5 for this matchup.

Sunday was a rough first game for the Broncos’ offense. While at times it looked like Bo Nix was dealing, he ended up having one of the roughest outings of his career. When asked how he did, Head Coach Sean Payton noted that he battled and that at the end of the day they won the game.
“Well we won, that’s the first thing,” Payton said. “I thought he hung in there. He battled. Made some critical plays first in the second half, and so obviously he’ll be disappointed with the turnovers, but it was a gutsy performance. It is pretty usual Week 1, a lot of different looks maybe that you hadn’t seen normally or scouted normally for relative to their coverages. Overall, his job is to lead us to score. I thought he played really well in the second half, and we won the game.”
Against the Colts, the defense will need to continue terrorizing opposing quarterbacks and, hopefully, the offense begins to find its footing. This team has potential to be a dangerous team in the AFC with the defense playing like it is. They just need the offense to be more consistent and, obviously, limit the turnovers. While they did struggle, I still think they should beat the Colts next week.

Tempers flare during another tightly contested matchup between Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder
The University of Denver will close the Ricks Center for Gifted Children next year as enrollment has fallen in recent years, the college announced this week.
The Ricks Center, which serves gifted children as young as 3 years old, will operate for the 2026-27 academic year before closing, according to a letter DU sent parents on Wednesday.
“The University of Denver has made the difficult decision to close the Ricks Center for Gifted Children at the conclusion of the 2026–2027 academic year,” spokesman Jon Stone said in a statement. “This decision reflects long-term operational and financial considerations and is not a reflection of the school’s quality, leadership, or community.”
The center, which is located on DU’s campus, was started in 1984 as the University Center for Gifted Young Children. The program offers classes to students in preschool through eighth grade, according to the website.
The program, along with other public K-12 schools in the state, has experienced declining enrollment in recent years. The center enrolled 142 students for the 2025-26 academic year, which is down from 200 pupils four years ago.
The center will hold a meeting about the pending closure on March 6 for parents.
