*Weeks 15 and 16 include flex games to Saturday on NFL Network. The NFL will choose between a few games each of those weeks to flex over to Saturday 12/19 and 12/26. The league will determine during the season which games get moved. The Broncos are candidates to have their games moved to Saturday both weeks.
Analysis:
-For the third time in four years, the Broncos get the back end of the MNF doubleheader. I'm starting to get sick of this game. At least it is at home and it is against the Titans instead of the usual AFC West opponent. It just sucks waiting all weekend and then late Monday night for the first Broncos game of the year.
-The first 5 games are tricky. The Titans were in the AFC Championship Game last year, Ben Roethlisberger will be back for the Steelers in Week 2, Tom Brady and the Bucs come to Denver in Week 3, then the Broncos have to head to New York to take on the Jets on a short week on a Thursday night game, and then they are back to East coast for a game at the Patriots in Week 5. I don't know what to expect from Big Ben and the Steelers. I don't know what to expect from Brady and the Bucs. We get absolutely screwed going all the way to NY to play the Jets on a short week. That is bullshit actually, and then we have no idea what to expect from the Pats in Week 5. The Broncos make three East trips in the first five weeks. That is going to be tricky.
-I like the back-to-back home games with Miami and KC in Weeks 6 and 7 and then the bye during Week 8. That means that Denver won't travel to an away game from Sunday 10/11 (Week 5 at NE) to Sunday 11/8 (Week 9 at ATL). That is about a month of being home.
-Getting the Saints and Chiefs in back-to-back weeks in Weeks 12 and 13 is going to be rough. I know we have the Saints at home but that is a rough two games in a row. Arrowhead on Sunday Night Football is not going to be fun.
-I like our last four to finish out the year: at Carolina, Buffalo, at Chargers, and Raiders. I always like finishing at home and I think those four games are all in our favor.
-I hope at least one of those games in Weeks 15 and 16 get moved to Saturday. I love Saturday games late in the season.
-We have three sets of back-to-back road games and two sets of back-to-back home games. We don't have to go on any three game road trips either.
-Here are the QBs we are facing this year: Pat Mahomes (twice), Justin Herbert/Tyrod Taylor (twice), Derek Carr (twice), Ryan Tannehill, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady, Sam Darnold, Tua Tagovailoa/Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater, and Josh Allen. Not too terrible there.
