The next five weeks for the Denver Broncos is a ‘trap game’

I’m sure everyone has a different definition of what a ‘trap game’ is, but for me it comes down to one factor: do I think the Broncos should win this game with ease? If the answer is yes, then its a dang ‘trap game’ for me. I know others look ahead to the next week and I get that. I’m just looking ahead go the game six weeks from now when the Kansas City Chiefs come to town.

Look at this schedule and let’s examine if any of these opponents should give Denver problems. Hear me out before roasting me in the comments section.

vs. New York Jets

• The team is 0-5. Denver should win. If they lose, then they trapped themselves.

vs. New York Giants

• Sure, they have a few rookies that are invigorating the fanbase over there. But let’s be real, the Broncos defense should dominate this game. If they lose at home, then they trapped themselves.

vs. Dallas Cowboys

• This one I might not quantify as a trap game. It’ll depend on if Dak Prescott keeps playing at the elite level he has been over the last few weeks. Denver is at home, though, so they should win. Probably not a ‘trap game’ really.

at Houston Texans

• Before the season, I would have rated the Texans much more highly. However, they look quite bad to start the season and the defense is especially suspect. It’s on the road, though, so maybe not quite a ‘trap game’ either. However, Denver should win this game too.

vs. Las Vegas Raiders

• This team stinks. Absolutely a ‘trap game’ if the Broncos choke here at home against the woeful silver and black.

Scotty, yesterday, said the Broncos could get on a bit of a run. I agree they could and should, but I honestly hate this stretch of games. The Broncos in recent history have played up or down to their opponents and often stumbled in games “they should win”. Until that changes, I’m going to be a nervous wreck and I stand by my assertion that the next five weeks is one giant ‘trap game’ for these Denver Broncos.

If they take care of business, then we’re talking about a whole new era in full swing in the Mile High City. I’m trying not to FOMO over that thought.
