Analysis:
-I was shocked the Broncos got five primetime games this year. I thought they would get three primetime games, but I can't believe they got a total of five. Let's really hope the Broncos are really good this year because they are going to be featured a ton.

-Very friendly start to the year with 4 out of their first 5 games at home and throw in the bye in Week 5 and the Broncos won't be traveling much at all until the end of October.

-The backend of the schedule is very tricky. 7 out of their last 11 games are on the road. We got stuck with the dreaded three straight road games, and we have a tough Thursday night trip to Indy. The one thing about that game is that they get 10 days off to get ready for Washington on Christmas Eve.

-The Broncos play early on Christmas Eve and in the afternoon slot on New Year's Eve. My New Year's Eve plans are set for that day.

-I had a feeling that we were going to get the backend of the MNF Week 1 opener. We have had that happen to us twice in the past, 2008 and 2011, and it isn't the greatest situation but I'll have to suck it up and deal with it.

-When you look at the schedule one of the things you have to look at is the QBs you were playing. Besides the divisional QBs, the Broncos have to face the likes of Dak Prescott, Tyrod Taylor, Eli Manning, Carson Wentz, Tom Brady, Andy Dalton, Ryan Tannehill,  Kirk Cousins, and Andrew Luck. That isn't really murderer's row if you ask me.
