The Broncos are ranked 4th on here, but one thing I am confused about is their Predicted Defensive Rank. I did not read how this is put together, but 13th for Predicted Defensive Rank sure seems much lower than I think they should be based on what they have showed so far.

Denver will be the highest ranked defense at the end of the year. For now, that respect has to be earned.

They've looked better the past couple of weeks. Denver doesn't have a returner that will scare other teams but they should be good.

Yes, and going to try to start posting semi-regulary during the season cause I know that you and 3 other people on here miss me dearly ha. I've been lurking from a distance while wearing my Harry Potter cloak. Go Broncos! I think I need to change my avatar and adopted Bronco. RIP Knowshon.

With the talent they have both Offense and Defense should be top 5. Special teams will be middle of the pack.

4 Denver Broncos 4.8 3(Offense) 13(Defense) 6(ST)

Maybe if you switch defense and ST I might agree with this one. Otherwise, someone either knows something I don't, or it's a load of crap.
