The Denver Broncos will visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday with both teams in a thick playoff race. Denver controls their own destiny when it comes to reaching the playoffs, while the Titans have to overcome a three-way tie for the AFC South lead.

Even though it won’t affect their play on Sunday, the Broncos aren’t being picked by as many experts to win this week. Rather, it appears as though it’s a split field from across the web of NFL geniuses.

At ESPN.com, seven out of 10 experts are picking the Broncos to win. Only Dan Graziano, Merril Hoge and Ron Jaworski are picking the Titans to win.

Tennessee is the one-point favorite, and six of eight experts over at CBS.com are picking the home team this time around. Over at Fox, each team has three experts picking them to win this important matchup.

But as it turns out, the experts are really drawn. Only 50 percent of experts who’ve locked in their picks are taking Denver, according to nflpickwatch.com.

It’s not much of a surprise to see a lot of experts picking Tennessee. The Broncos rarely put up a full effort on the road, as their defense has stolen wins in New Orleans and Jacksonville this season.

All that matters for the Broncos is a victory on Sunday, regardless of how many experts pick them.
