The magical mustache will invade Mile High on Sunday, as Gardner Minshew and the Jacksonville Jaguars hit the road to take on the Denver Broncos. Minshew has been tremendous since taking over for the injured Nick Foles a few weeks back, and if the defense plays the way they did against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football, Joe Flacco and company are in for a long day.

Of course, the Jaguars need Jalen Ramsey in the lineup, and as of Tuesday, he had not practiced this week, citing the Flu. Still, this is a Jaguars team that looked pretty impressive on both sides of the ball against the Titans, and if the Broncos continue to lack a pass rush, Minshew should be able to make enough plays to come away with the road victory.

Overall, the AFC West looks like it is going to go 2-2 this weekend, but hopefully, the Raiders can pull off the upset victory against the Colts early on Sunday. The Broncos are lost right now, and the Chargers and Chiefs have very winnable games, which should make for an exciting weekend of AFC West football.

Prediction: Jaguars 24 Broncos 20
