The Denver Broncos head to Oakland to take on the Raiders Week 1 in a primetime matchup. Let’s break down the game preview to see what’s in store.

Denver Broncos football is finally (almost back!)

Broncos Country, the wait is finally over. Speculation will be put to bed, and we will finally get to see what Vic Fangio and this new coaching staff looks like in regular season action. We will finally get a taste of this new Broncos offense with Joe Flacco at the helm. Check out fellow PO Cameron Parker’s take on the offensive expectations of the Broncos. The Broncos have also added defensive talent, so it will be interesting to see the improvements.

The Broncos open up their season in a Monday Night doubleheader against the rival Oakland Raiders, setting the stage for quite the matchup. The Broncos will take on the Raiders in the second game of the doubleheader, following the Houston Texans- New Orleans Saints matchup.

The Denver Broncos look to open their season by earning a victory against one of their biggest rivals in what will be the Broncos’ last game (for real, this time!) in the Coliseum. However, on the opposite spectrum, the Raiders look to beat their rivals at home in what is sure to be a bittersweet season for the Raiders and their fanbase in their last season in the city they’ve called home for so long.

Excited yet?

Let’s jump into this Broncos-Raiders preview.
