Get it while you can fellas at -115, for the Broncos to win less than 7.5 games. I have no idea why this team is getting so much respect. Last year team managed to finish at 8-8, thanks to a 6-0 start and couple of fluke wins along the way. One win was thanks to a fluke Brandon Stokley tip pass TD, while the other an unbelievable athletic catch and run TD by Brandon Marshall that should of easily been intercepted for a pick six.
The 2010 Broncos will much less explosive with the departure of B. Marsh and tight end Tony Scheffler. Without any kind of passing attack, and the traditional strong Broncos running game under Shanahan, I have no clue how many points these guy can possible put up to have a chance to win. The defense will clearly suffer without Mike Nolan defensive schemes. The Broncos secondary is still strong with the trio of Dawkins, Bailey, and Goodman, but the front seven is still suspect. Elvis Dumervil is about the only impact player they have, and his suspect as pass defender or run stopper. The Broncos defense will be exposed again, like they did in the 2nd half of the season going 2-8. They will not stop anyone.
I believe the Broncos will win only six games at most. This team could not even sweep the woeful Chiefs or Raiders last year, losing to both teams at Home! Tebow or Orton is not good enough to compete against Rivers in an off day, so you could basically lock up 4 AFC west lost for the Broncos. Here's the 2010 Broncos schedule, and why they will lose these other six or more game out of the AFC west.
- Sept 12. At Jacksonville Loss-I don't think this team will do well on the road this year.
- Sept 19. Vs Seattle Win-I can see them winning, because Seattle sux on the road playing AFC opponents
- Sept 26. Vs Indianapolis Loss-No chance in hell Manning could possibly lose to Orton
- Oct 3. At Tennessee Loss-Another tough road game. Vince Young and Chris Johnson should have a field day.
- Oct 10. At Ravens Loss-Baltimore is just to physical for this, nothing hasn't changed much between the two from last year. Expecting another suffocating defensive performance from the Ravens.
- Oct 17. Vs Jets Win-I'm still not a big believer of Sanchez on the road, and the Mile High city steals this one.
- Oct 27. Vs Oakland Win-The Raiders always seems to the lost the first game, but come out strong the 2nd time.
- Oct 31. At San Francisco Loss-The 49ers will win the NFC west this year, and they will not lose to a non-contender like these Broncos.
- Nov 14. Vs Kansas City Win-The Broncos will look to avenge last year home loss, and come out strong this game.
- Nov 22. At San Diego Loss-Tebow or Orton vs Phillips, I'll gladly take Phillip even if he doesn't have Vincent Jackson by then. The Chargers still has Gates, and an explosive rookie running back in Ryan Matthews.
- Nov 28. Vs St.Louis Win-The Rams are a joke, and the Broncos traditionally do well against NFC opponents at home.
- Dec 5. At Kansas City Loss-The Broncos has not won in Kansas City in December since that 1998 Superbowl team did it. And it won't change here.
- Dec 12. At Cardinals win-I'm still not sold on Lienart, and Orton might be just good enough.
- Dec 19. At Oakland Loss-Denver has not swept Oakland since 2005. The Raiders always play the Broncos like it's the Superbowl, and they split the season again.
- Dec 26. Vs Houston Loss-Look for the Texans high power offense to run all over the Broncos Defense. The Broncos will probably be demoralized by this point of the season, and give up on coach Mcdouche.
- Jan 2. Vs San Diego Loss-The Chargers will be trying to solidify their playoffs standings, while the Broncos will be in rebuilding mode. The entire will do like they did against Kansas City at home, give up!
