NFL tonight

DENVER AT CLEVELAND

5:30 PST, NFL Network

Any quarterback might be daunted by making his starting debut in a nationally televised game, but Cleveland’s Brady Quinn has this going for him: He’s facing Denver’s 29th-ranked defense. The Broncos have a cheesecloth secondary that would appeal to any opposing quarterback. Meanwhile, the Broncos’ offense has become increasingly predictable, and has failed to score 20 points in five consecutive games.

Pick: Cleveland.
