I recently read a post saying that the Broncos have no chance to make the playoffs because of their difficult schedule.  Well, I disagree, and here is their entire schedule and how I believe each game will shake out.  And yes, I am probably biased since I live here in Denver, but I feel I am being fairly impartial.

Week 1-@ Rams-????-Not sure about the rams team this year, on the road, could be a tough opener.  I would probably give the nod to Denver but not sure so will leave at the ???? status

Week2-home vs. Cheifs-Broncos Win-We typically beat KC at home, no reason to change that now.

Week 3- @ Patriots- ????-same reasoning as week 1, but I would probably give the nod to New England, unfortunately on this one.

Week 4-Home vs Ravens-Broncos Win-Broncos have traditionally faired well against the ravens, at home at least.  if this game were in Baltimore, it would be a "L" but since we are at home, we will wrap this one up.

Week 5-Home vs. Raiders-Broncos Win-Raiders are in a down year, as they were last year.  We win this one at home.

Week 6- @ Browns- Broncos Win-If we can't beat the Browns, then we have issues.

Week 7- Home vs. Colts-????-Colts are a strong team, but how will they be minus James?  Plus this is a home game, were it at the RCA dome, I would give the Colts the hands down victory, but in Denver, we will have to see.  Possibly some snow on the ground as well.

Week 8- @Steelers-Broncos Loss-Probably will drop this game, tough to beat the Super Bowl champ on the road.

Week 9- @ Raiders- Broncos Win, Raiders in down year, Aaron Brooks.

Week 10- home vs Chargers- Broncos Win- Chargers are going to be starting a new QB in Rivers, he won't come out on track.  Worst thing this franchise did was letting Brees go. 

Week 11-@ Chiefs-Broncos Loss-Although it's not December, the broncos rarely win in KC.

Week 12-Home vs. Seahawks-????-this should be an interesting game. Not sure which way the coin will flip.

Week 13- @ Chargers-Broncos Win-See previous comments on Chargers

Week 14- @ Cardinals- Broncos Win- While it appears the cardinals are improving, they will not be hitting on all cylinders this season, maybe next year, but not this year.

Week 15- Home vs Bengals-????-not sure how this one will go. 

Week 16- Home vs. 49er's-Broncos Win-Alex Smith, must I say more as to why the broncos will win this one?

So, I have 9 guaranteed victories, 5 ???? games, and 2 losses.  Therefore if the Broncos win 2 of the 5 ???? swing games, which is highly possible, then they make the playoffs with an 11-5 record.  See? Piece of Cake.
