Again, much like last year I'm taking a more realistic (devils advocate) approach to this season. Time has jaded me a bit, so I'm less "hopey homer" than I was in my 20s.
Denver has been .500 within the AFCW since 2006, so no reason at this point to get too crazy with thoughts of divisional dominance.
So, I'll start with 3-3.
Home:
Seahawks / Colts / Jets / Rams / Texans
Away:
Jax / Titans / Ravens / SF (London) / Cardinals
There are 5 games in blue that I'm comfortable with notating as a possible win - taking them to 8 wins.
Colts, Jets and Texans in Denver = Incredibly Tough ... The Broncos are .500 in Denver the last 2 seasons... I need to see that this team is NOT the same bunch on defense that let Oak and KC beat them in Denver last year before I feel comfortable with those 3 offenses visiting.
I'm not 100% liking their chances in Jax - it's Florida in September and that historically is a bad thing. Games against the Titans and Ravens will be SICK SICK SICK ... again, they have a better shot if the defense is genuinely improved.
I'm not a gambling man, but even if I were... I don't think I could confidently bet any money at this point on 10 wins...

That sounds more like it to me,but Im not saying the Broncos can't win 10,I just find it hard to bank on at this point.I see KC winning 5-6,and maybe with a lil luck and a few breaks maybe 8,but I wouldn't bank on it.Den,and Oak both got better IMO,not too sure about SD yet but I expect the AFCW to be more competitive this year than last.I don't expect us to do much till we get rid of Cassel and learn how to develop our own QB.Maybe we'll be much better,but I doubt it will be because of Cassel.Thats just my honest take on it.
