Record: 11-5

11-5**

This is my prediction, but it comes with an asterisk because of the unsettled QB position. I am going to go out a limb and assume that the Broncos are going to have a better option than Mark Sanchez at QB (hello Colin Kaepernick) when I make this prediction.

Next: Broncos looking to trade up in the draft

I’m going to give road losses at Cincinnati, Kansas City, and probably one that we wouldn’t expect, possibly New Orleans or Jacksonville. Honestly, I don’t see 5 losses on this schedule, however, it just seems like the right number.

I could easily see 12-4, maybe even 13-3, but, if Mark Sanchez (or Brian Hoyer) is the starter, I put them at 8-9 wins. Check back with me in a week and I’ll do a game-by-game prediction, once we know who the starting QB is going to be.
