Denver could lose to any of the top 6-7 teams in the league depending on location, etc. Denver has issues, but the positive (for me) is that every other contender out there at this point does as well.
If SD can come up with a big win at home this week vs NE, then that really helps the cause here. Puts the #1 seed in Denver's control with games vs BUF, @ SD, @ CIN and vs OAK. And, those 2 road games are going to be tough wins... nothing is a given.
Patriots follow up that tough road loss @ GBP with the trip this week to sunny California. After that, Miami in NE, @ Jets and Bills in NE --- smooth sailing for NE.
A loss @ SD is paramount to Denver avoiding a trip to NE.
Then again, that's assuming they maintain a hold on the #2 seed and advance. The Colts would be a tough matchup, for sure. I like Denver's chances, especially at home with the other AFC contenders in the playoffs.
A game in a dome vs the Packers in Arizona would be greatness ... but, we're a long ways away from that happening.
