My 2011 Broncos Predictions

Preseason Game 3 is in the books and it’s time for my annual…and totally useless…Broncos season predictions. My buddy Grant beat me to it this year so we’ll see how we match up. Here goes…

  1. Oakland Raiders – W
    First, I never put up a L against the Raiders. Second, I think Denver is actually better.
  2. Cincinnati – W
    This one could be very ugly…if you root for the Bengals.
  3. @ Tennessee – W
    First road game and I think the Broncs carry their winning ways into this game. Will be a close one though.
  4. @ Green Bay – L
    On the road against the defending Champs? Winning streak comes to a quick halt…but they learn something here.
  5. San Diego – W
    I think the Broncs split the season with the Chargers and take the one at home.
  6. BYE
  7. @ Miami – W
    Just don’t think the Fins are any good and the Broncs are coming off a week of rest before having to make the East Coast trip.
  8. Detroit – L
    I really want to put a “W” here, but something tells me this one gets away from them (and Detroit will be much improved this year).
  9. @ Oakland – W
    May actually be a loss, but see game #1.
  10. @ Kansas City – L
    We never seem to play well here…calling for yet another season split. However, I have a sneaking suspicion this one will be close.
  11. NY Jets – L
    Offense won’t be able to do enough against this DEF.
  12. @ San Diego – L
    Hard to win on the road against this team, and SD will be making their late year comeback by now.
  13. @ Minnesota – W
    Not many will agree with me here, but I think the running game and DEF help sneak out a win on the road here. And I just don’t think MIN will be very good.
  14. Chicago – W
    Cutler back home? Yummy! Von Doom should have fun with this offensive sieve line. ;o)
  15. New England – L
    We typically play this team well at home, but can’t bring myself to put the “W” here.
  16. @ Buffalo – W
    This team is B-A-D and will be in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. Really cold weather could be a factor…but I see us depending on the running game and pulling it out.
  17. Kansas City – W
    I think we have something to play for here and will show up to get the season split.

So…my season prediction? A CRAZY 10-6. For the record, I said 8-8 last year (only missed it by 4 games!)…so my predictions mean nothing. But I truly think the Defense is looking good (great so far…but expecting some reality when the season starts). My biggest concern? Two really…injuries…and Orton (if there are close games here he will NOT win them for us).

 

Even if we end up 6-10 (which is more likely) I still think EFX have on the right road…and who knows…every year there’s that one team…maybe it’s us this year! Go DONKEYS!!

    So, Dave, no reason to send you a big bag of black and silver jelly beans for the regular season opener, huh?

    It would only be fair since I still owe you for Mr. Hasselhoff gracing my laptop.
