Record:  11-5

2nd Place AFC West

5th Seed in the AFC

With an improved offensive line and a defense that can continue to dominate, I believe the Denver Broncos will improve from their 9-7 season from last year and get themselves back into the playoffs.

The quarterback position is too tough to call.  This is one reason why this was so difficult for me to decide on a record.  But there is the No Fly Zone, Super Bowl 50 MVP, and an offensive line that can help the team out.

This should help them get through until the quarterback figures some things out as far as timing is concerned.

I believe that the Denver Broncos will win their first six games of the season.  Getting quality wins over Dallas, Oakland and the New York Giants before suffering their first loss on Monday Night on the road against the Chiefs.

A win in Philadelphia will be followed by two losses in three weeks against the Patriots and Raiders.  Winning against the Bengals will be sandwiched in between.

A couple wins against the Dolphins and Jets will help wonders.  Then I think they will lose the Thursday night game against the Colts.  And I have a sneaking suspicion that the Washington Redskins game will be a slight trap game with the playoffs near.

But they end the regular season with a close win at home against the Chiefs to redeem themselves from the loss in October.  With the win, the Denver Broncos will return to the playoffs after a year away and will be looking to make some noise as a wild card team.
