Why they will finish first: The most talented club in the division, if not the entire league.
DENVER BRONCOS (10-6, wild card)
Strengths: The best cover cornerback in football, Champ Bailey, supported by experienced defenders and emerging star linebacker D.J. Williams. RB Travis Henry should continue 1,000-yard rushing tradition. Javon Walker is elite wideout.
Weaknesses: How will death of CB Darrent Williams affect them? Special teams are mediocre, and both lines have slipped a bit.
Players to watch: QB Jay Cutler, Bailey.
Biggest change: Cutler, in second NFL season, is starter from the get-go.
Schedule key: Games 3-6 vs. Jaguars, Colts, Chargers and Steelers.
Why they will finish second: If Cutler takes next step, offense will be dangerous.
