00:00team we did not anticipate being a playoff team a season ago that was the Denver Broncos with a

00:06rookie quarterback in Bo Nix in the second year at altitude under head coach Sean Payton and yet

00:12the RS double digit wins a 10 and 7 record for Denver despite having a win total of five and a

00:18half at this stage last offseason they did they get hammered in western New York against the

00:23bills as they were expected to as nearly a touchdown underdog yeah they lost 31 to 7 but

00:30did they get to the playoffs when nobody really expected that to be the case yes they certainly

00:35did win total for Denver this upcoming season nine and a half some slight juice on the under third

00:42best price to win the AFC West a 14 to 1 price to win the AFC 28 to 1 to win a Super Bowl and DRS

00:50maybe most importantly that minus 112 price or so for Denver to get back to the AFC playoffs it is

00:58the seventh best price around the conference that number of seven important as Denver will tell you

01:04as the seven seed our seventh and final and our third and final wildcard team to see the postseason

01:10last year in the AFC yeah I like the prognosis here for the Denver Broncos because the maturation process

01:16if your quarterback should continue got a fantastic head coach in Sean Pate we understand that and also

01:21Bo Nix as a rookie through 29 touchdown passes up against only 12 interceptions usually might see a

01:27rookie quarterback throw a lot of touchdown passes but a lot of interceptions trying to learn his craft

01:31and you know early on they wanted Bo Nix to win that job and he won that job and while he's playing in

01:36the regular season you're going to have those mistakes early but he really had a solid season with a

01:40passer rating of a 93 almost threw for 4,000 yards ended up with about 337 50 if I remember here if

01:47we're looking at the defense they got good pass rushers they might have the best cornerback in

01:51football and Patrick Sertan the second you also add some weapons on offense with Evan Ingram to a

01:56solid offensive line he picked up some speed in the draft at the running back position and the

02:01maturation process as I talked about here for Bo Nix should continue and Sutton and Vele are quality

02:06wide receivers the only downfall might be is I don't think you get an easy victory over the Las

02:11Vegas Raiders anymore they're more competent this year coming in under Tom Brady led you get a new

02:15head coach in Pete Carroll obviously have a veteran quarterback in Geno Smith you're not trying out

02:19rookie quarterbacks on a week-to-week basis but also you take a look at the LA Chargers very good team

02:24looking to buy and then there's the Kansas City Chiefs so it's a very competitive conference where I

02:29don't know if you can lay out and say they absolutely have to get their team total they must get 10 wins at

02:34this point and not have a successful season most teams are judged on successful season making the

02:39playoffs a playoff win see if you can compete for a championship but I am high on the Denver Broncos

02:44but I just don't know how high Ben that ceiling is supposed to be could you see a down step here for

02:49Patrick or excuse me Bo Nix at the quarterback position maybe but I'm not anticipating a solid

02:54season for me for the Denver Broncos is once again or just you know what being in the playoff mix

03:00which doesn't mean you enter into December two games back I mean like the final week of the season

03:04win and get in you have it done you lose there you learn a little bit more that's what I'm talking

03:09about for the Broncos
