With my prediction of the AFC West complete, it’s time to take a look at the rest of the AFC and see which teams pose the biggest threat to the Broncos quest for their 4th Lombardi Trophy.

I write for a Broncos themed website, it only made sense that I would write about the Broncos and their main opponents, right?

While that may very well be true, I decided that this may be a good time to also preview the rest of the AFC and see how other teams stack up agains the defending world champs.

Yes, since the Broncos are the reigning Super Bowl champions, it does make sense for us here at Predominantly Orange to take a look at the entire AFC and see which teams are the most likely to stand up and fight or go into the fetal position when they face the Broncos.

After all, one of these teams do have to de-throne our beloved Broncos if they want the chance to bask in the Super Bowl glory.

For every page, I will cover a different division and give you my analysis as to why certain teams are up to the challenge and others, well, they need another year to sharpen their skills. Let’s begin with a trip up north..
