Denver Broncos: 4 bold predictions in week 12 vs. Saints

Denver Broncos: 4 bold predictions for week 12 against the Saints.

The Denver Broncos are fresh off of a win against the likely playoff-bound Miami Dolphins. In what has been an up-and-down year for the Broncos, this was a signature win and one of the team’s best all-around performances.

That may sound like some hyperbole or like we’re setting the bar really low for the Denver Broncos, but at this point, the team is not a crew of underachieving, grizzled veterans but rather a team full of youth, and many key players are learning on the job.

The pressure on the Broncos to perform weekly is understandable from a fan base that has grown tired of losing over the past five years. With that said, I have been adamant since the offseason that this Denver Broncos team deserves the fans’ patience, despite the team’s struggles in the post-Peyton Manning era.

With all of the injuries and COVID-19 hurdles the Broncos have had to endure, the importance of patience is only amplified.

It’s reasonable for fans to expect improvements, especially as the season goes along. After a dismal couple of losses on the road against the Falcons and Raiders, the Broncos were overwhelmingly picked against when they played host to the white-hot Miami Dolphins.

Now that the Broncos have beaten a team like Miami, why not a team like the New Orleans Saints? The Saints are without starting QB Drew Brees, though backup Taysom Hill led them to a win this past weekend and looked pretty solid all-around.

The Saints are currently the top-seeded team in the NFC playoff race with an 8-2 record. Here are my four bold predictions for the game.
