![]() Denver will need to see some great work out of Josey Jewell & his crew of inside linebackers to keep the Raiders trailing. But that’s also offset by Josh Jacobs facing a relatively weak Broncos defensive line. The passing game may well come down to containing Davante Adams. On the other side of the matchup, Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t particularly threatening to this Broncos secondary. Sean Payton, Russell Wilson, & company just need to deliver. There’s definitely a pass rush threat, but Las Vegas’s secondary and run defense should be eminently exploitable. There can’t be a much better opportunity for this Broncos offense to get started on the right foot than facing the Raiders’ defense. ![]() Christopher Hart Broncos 23, Raiders 17 Notching a ‘W’ against Las Vegas on Sunday will be a step forward in the right direction and help make those aspirations possible. ![]() ![]() Sean Payton was hired to change the team’s culture and re-establish their winning tradition. Stopping Josh Jacobs will be key in order for the Broncos to achieve a victory this weekend. If the franchise wants to get back to their winning ways, taking care of business in the AFC West against their rivals is a must. The Broncos have lost six games in a row to the Raiders. A worse quarterback, a worse defense, especially with the Chandler Jones situation, and the longer Mike McD coaches, probably the worse that situation gets. A new and absolutely better coach, a better defense, a better offensive line, and likely a better quarterback. Denver has objectively gotten better this year. I’ll take a 35-10 drubbing of the Raiders every single damn day.Īfter last season it would be a very welcome outcome if the Broncos are actually able to win a one-score game, and against a divisional opponent nonetheless. Tim Lynch Broncos 35, Raiders 10Įditor’s Note: Jess Place and I recorded an off the cuff podcast on Friday and he gave his score prediction and it was just too good not to share. The only way to cure this is by winning early and often. Losing is a mentality and its a mentality this franchise has developed in recent years. A loss would likely immediately set the narrative in a negative direction and that is something this team cannot afford. Getting off to a 1-0 start with a win at home against an AFC West rival is absolutely vital for Payton and the Broncos here. The score ends up a little closer due to a late score, but the Broncos remain in control all game long in front of an electric Mile High crowd. Sean Payton shows he is no Nathaniel Hackett and puts away the hapless Raiders head coach, Josh McDaniels. Here is how we see things playing out individually. Collectively, we’re predicting a 26-17 Broncos beatdown of the McDaniels-led Raiders. We’ll have to wait and see if I’m just an idiot for thinking that again. This optimism is typical of a Week 1 for us, but I personally feel like this time is different. Every week, we’ll be coming at you with our Mile High Report staff predictions for each and every game.Īs far as those Week 1 score predictions, all of us are obviously predicting a victory. Week 1 for the Denver Broncos is finally here and what a way to open the regular season - at home against the hated Las Vegas Raiders who are led by an even more hated Josh McDaniels.
