Mile High Report
It is time for Denver Broncos football!
Week one of the 2025 season kicked off with the Philadelphia Eagles eeking out a win over the Dallas Cowboys, but for Broncos Country, all we care about is Sunday against the Tennessee Titans (fantasy football and betting aside).
When Ian St. Clair and I sat down to record Odds and Endzones the excitement of actual potential was in the air. For too long, the hype of the preseason fizzled into the reality of a struggling franchise with no direction.
Enter Shaun Payton, and bring in Bo Nix, and let George Paton cook, finding talent in the draft, and the recipe builds up to legitimate hype. (Don’t forget that sweet sweet Walmart cash).
Ian even mentioned that major media types like Rich Eisen have noted that you can’t even call Denver a dark horse this year.
There is a legitimate path to winning the division, and building on a playoff season in 2024 could look like a trip to the Super Bowl led by a 2nd year QB, a solid offensive line, and a defense that boasts the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and loads of talent.
It’s not a matter of hope. There is no reason that the Broncos shouldn’t find themselves in a position to play deep into the playoffs.
That all starts with Week 1. Taking care of business against a team like the Titans could seem like no big deal. But we all know the truth; this should be seen as a chance to make a statement.
The league, and the bookies, believe in the Broncos. Denver is an 8.5 point favorite. You want the NFL to take notice? Smack the Titans around like the struggling franchise with a rookie QB that they are.
Beat down your opponent to start the season and announce your presence with authority.
The goal shouldn’t be to win. It should be to dominate.
