Bengals-Broncos prediction and Sunday picks

As the Sick Puppies like to sing, maybe it's time to change.

I've been picking against the Bengals when they play an elite opponent -- or even against average one on the road -- for much of the season, and more times than not I've been wrong.

So it's time to change things up. The Denver Broncos may have the No. 1 defense in the league, but so much else about Monday night's game points toward the Bengals.

So I'm going to point toward them as well.

Cincinnati (+3) at Denver -- Bengals 23, Broncos 20
