-The Broncos first four games are very challenging to me. They have to go to Seattle in Week 1 to face a solid team with a new head coach in one of the toughest places to play in the NFL, and the Broncos will probably do it with rookie QB Bo Nix making his first NFL start. Then, they come home to take on a tough Steelers team in the Russell Wilson revenge game. Weeks 3 and 4 are tough because they feature back-to-back road games on the East coast (Tampa Bay and the Jets) and both are early window start times. You have to hope to somehow be 2-2 after that start.

-The next four weeks are favorable from Weeks 5-8. Three home games (Raiders, Chargers, and Panthers) mixed in with a TNF game at New Orleans in the Sean Payton Bowl. You have to think Denver can come out of that stretch 3-1.  

-Weeks 9 and 10 are brutal as Denver heads to Baltimore and Kansas City in back-to-back weeks. That's about a rough of a back-to-back as you can get in the AFC.

-Weeks 11-15 are again favorable. Denver has three home games, one road game and a bye in those weeks. It features their second primetime game of the year with a Monday Night Football game hosting the Browns. 

-The Broncos bye week is as late of a bye for them that I can remember. Week 14 for a bye week in December is late.

-The Broncos last three games are tough. They head to the Chargers in Week 16 and then have a rough back to back with at the Bengals in Week 17 and hosting the Chiefs in Week 18. Maybe the Chiefs would have clinched the division by then and they will be resting starters and the Broncos can take advantage of that.

-The Broncos have three sets of back-to-back road games, so that will be a challenge throughout the year. Two of those sets have early starts on Sunday afternoon.

-Denver hasn't gotten off to good starts the last few years to start the year, so the key is coming out of those first four games at 2-2 and then going from there. 

-You never know what is going to happen when you look at a schedule. Last year, everyone had Denver beating the Raiders and Washington to start the year at home to be 2-0. They lost both at home to start 0-2, but beat Kansas City and Buffalo in back-to-back weeks in November.
