-I like that Denver is at home in Week 1 and in the late window on CBS as opposed to opening in a primetime game like they did the past four seasons.

-As I predicted, the Broncos and Peyton Manning get five primetime games. Three of them are Sunday Night games (GB, NE, and Detroit), one is a Thursday night game (KC), and one is a Monday night game (Cincy). You can't beat two of the Sunday night games with Green Bay and New England.

-Great job the NFL of scheduling New England at Denver for November 29th on SNF, which the end of Thanksgiving weekend.

-The Broncos have two sets of weeks when they are on the road back-to-back, but one of those sets is at Oakland and at Cleveland-which is not exactly murderer's row. Four out of their first six are on the road.

-Denver ends with two games at home, which is a huge advantage. Four of their last six are home.

-Their November portion of the schedule looks to be the toughest. Green Bay, at Indy, KC, at Chicago, and New England. The late December trip to Pittsburgh will be very tough as well.

-I like how they get road trips to KC and Oakland out of the way early, then host them later on.

-My favorite game on the schedule: Cincy at home on Monday Night Football on 12/28. The holidays are in full swing, and the Broncos are at home on a Monday night game that will have huge playoff implications.
