1. Broncos win the turnover battle.

Through two games this season, the Denver Broncos have not won a turnover battle in a game.

It seems crazy, but it’s true.

I think this week — at long last — the Broncos will win the turnover battle, and that has as much to do with the offense limiting mistakes as it does with the defense coming up big with a turnover.

We’ve seen some flukey turnovers in the first couple of games, but we’ve also seen some carelessness with the football. The Broncos can’t be careless with the football and just give it away. This Bills defense is aggressive and will be hunting for the football, especially their top two pass rushers up front.

The Broncos have to make sure they are smart with the football, obviously, and I think we’ll see that happen with the running game so drastically improved this season.

Establish the run, keep the pass rushers (somewhat) at bay, and control possession of the ball. I think this will be the first interception-free game we see from Trevor Siemian this season, and that will help the Broncos to their third victory.
