Denver Broncos season prediction: 11-5

The Denver Broncos have taken on a lot of change since Super Bowl 50, but plenty of key pieces from that dominant defense remain, and the offense has had a very necessary makeover.
Much of how well the Broncos do this season will be determined by the success of Case Keenum, specifically, because quarterback play has very clearly been the determining factor for the Broncos over the past two seasons.

The Broncos could have players who challenge for both offensive and defensive rookie of the year this season, and Von Miller is always a Defensive MVP candidate. If the team can absorb the blow of losing Aqib Talib at corner, I have no doubt they will be the best team in the AFC and with a last place schedule, they should be able to win between 9-11 games. I’m guessing the ball will bounce the Broncos’ way a few more times this year with how accurate Brandon McManus has looked in the preseason.
