The Denver Broncos are hosting the Dallas Cowboys in week two of the NFL season. What are the keys to victory? We predict the outcome…

The Denver Broncos take on the Dallas Cowboys in week two of the NFL season. This is a highly anticipated game that will feature some of the league’s best young talent, and it will be the first chance Broncos fans get to see young stars Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott up close, and in person.

This is a really fun matchup if you’re just a general football fan, and it should be a really exciting game. That being said, the Broncos have a chance to exploit some areas of weakness for the Cowboys, and ensure they get to 2-0 to start the season.

Here are five predictions for what we’ll see in this game:

1. Dak Prescott will struggle.

Up to this point in his NFL career, Dak Prescott hasn’t really struggled all that much. From the very first start of his NFL career, he has looked very poised, very polished, and very confident in himself.

He should be, he’s a really good player.

But like all quarterbacks, Dak Prescott is also human. He hasn’t always been perfect, and I’m willing to say that in his young NFL career, he’s never seen a defense as good as the one he will face on Sunday afternoon against Denver.

Prescott is facing off against a secondary that has elite talent at every position, and a pass rush led by Von Miller, who forces even the greats like Tom Brady to adjust their approach.

I don’t think Prescott will be unprepared in this game, but I think the Broncos have a chance to get after him a little bit and force him into some bad throws. I think Denver will take advantage in a big way.
