Radio: 94.1 FM and 850 AM KOA (Dave Logan, playby-play; Rick Lewis, analyst; Susie Wargin, sideline) Betting line: Broncos (-3.5) Paul Klee prediction: Commanders 17, Broncos 16 Sean Payton, 0-2? Say it ain’t so! Washington’s powerful defensive line chases down Russell Wilson as boobirds return to Mile High.

Klee’s prediction record: 0-1, 1-0 ATS Chris Schmaedeke’s prediction: Broncos 20,

Commanders 16

Denver can’t lose this game. The percentage of teams that make the playoffs after a 0-2 start is around 30 percent. Starting out 0-2 at home would be disaster for Sean Payton in his first season. Schmaedeke’s prediction record: 0-1, 0-1 ATS Chris Tomasson’s prediction: Broncos 26, Commanders 24

The Broncos can’t suffer another troubling loss with members of the Super Bowl XXXIII winning team on hand for a 25th reunion, right? By the way, that 1998 team trounced Washington 38-16 en route to a 14-2 regular-season mark. Tomasson prediction record: 0-1, 0-1 ATS
