Denver Broncos: Super Bowl champions for the fourth time?

The last time the Denver Broncos won the super bowl was the last time Broncos Country had a quarterback and capable head coach. Even with Peyton Manning on the evident decline, Denver still captured the Super Bowl 50 title due to an overall solid team and consistent coaching staff.

This title run will look much different, though. The AFC west has become more challenging than Denver’s mile-high altitude, and the defense does not compare to 2015s. The biggest key to going on a title run would lie on the offense and their ability to keep up with teams like Kanas City, Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Baltimore Ravens offense.

Another key to capturing a Super Bowl this season is a more aggressive attack from the coaching staff versus the conservative style used the last seven seasons. Teams are now attacking the air early, and if the Denver Broncos want to be among the title contenders, they will have to follow suit.

Despite a tough conference, Denver can still make it out, thanks to the NFL adding an additional playoff team last year. AFC west arguably could have either four teams finish out on top, but Denver will need to at least be one of the three that can make it out of the division. The Broncos possess fantastic talent on the roster, with Wilson leading the ride.

I predict Denver to finish with an 11-6 record, making a playoff run and bringing the Lombardi trophy back to Mile high.
