It's a good schedule. I like the late bye plus the TNF on week 6 sort of helps with a mini-bye a little earlier. It's almost like dividing the schedule into thirds.

Plus we go from a Thursday night game against SD to a Monday nighter against Houston. They have a ton of time to gameplan against Brock.

My only complaint - and it's minor - is the usual late game at KC. This year Christmas night.

Matt V. on Arrowhead Addict has already rolled out a 13-3 prediction for the Chiefs, complete with a sweep of the Broncos. That's why I love reading his stuff at this time of year because when it all unravels during the season it's even more fun.

Meanwhile Connor Orr on NFL.com had this little piece:

Which teams got the most fortunate schedules?

Note his assumptions about the Broncos in the paragraph on the Carolina Panthers. I'm not saying the Broncos are repeating, but I've said a couple times I think they're capable of going 11-5 or so in 2016. And if I'm right, it's reading stuff like this at this time of year that makes it so much more enjoyable.

He has stopped talking to me lately on twitter. The Broncos winning the Super Bowl just was incomprehensible in his mind. He has spent most of the off season just ripping on the Broncos. I would say he posts more about the Broncos than his team the Chiefs.

Honestly for me I like the fact that people are doubting this team once again. I mean we were doubted the entire season last year and were called the worst #1 seed in NFL history by many. I think this team feeds off people doubting them.

Denver has the toughest home schedule and the easiest road schedule in the NFL.

That is how I would rather have it. Broncos have one of the best home field records in all of football so gives them a nice leg up against some of the tougher opponents. Then if we can get ourselves a winning record on the road man that would be huge.

Well, the rematch would be the Broncos Defense vs. Cam Newton :suds:

It's not like our QB play decided the Super Bowl, after all.
I would add however, Denver will need a good running game to compliment and control clock to rest the D in this one.

I plan to go to the game in Cincinnati and then in Denver either Atlanta or Houston. Looks like Houston might work the best for SpringStein so probably that game.

Or maybe I shouldn't attend any? Last year was the first time in 14 years I didn't attend a Broncos game and they won the SB. SOOOOOOO!

Right on both points. It's awesome to see Chiefs fans cringing every time the subject of the Broncos being Super Bowl Champs comes up. It's awesome to see how a homer like Matt V. wasn't only wrong, but wrong on a level that would embarrass any writer with a shred of a sense of shame.

As for the general sports public at large, I am loving how much this Broncos team is being left for dead. It's almost a foregone conclusion they are going to drop off. Of course, Jeff Legwold from ESPN gives them a fighting chance at 11-5, but those are all independent predictions made by staff writers assigned to each team so they are not a "standings" prediction. The Chiefs guy and Raiders guy both put those teams at 10-6 and I think one or the other will get there.

In fact, I think the Raiders pass the Chiefs this year. The Chiefs have the feel of the 2013 Falcons to me. That team was coming off a long awaited playoff win and a 13-3 record in 2012, and were a Super Bowl favorite going into 2013. They failed to live up to expectations then injuries started mounting up. It's impossible to predict injuries, but I think the Chiefs are simply going to disappoint this year. Meanwhile the Broncos haven't lost as much as people say they have, and 11-5 or 12-4 is still realistic. And the Raiders are a young, hungry team. I don't think in the long run they can be taken seriously with JDR as their coach but they'll have their moments and I think they're going to be good enough to push for a playoff spot (at minimum a winning record) in 2016.

Three tough games to start the season, but the Broncos have the first two - at home - in front of a Super Bowl loving crowd - altitude and emotion - should help. The Bengals will be a fun early game to see - I take the Bronco's secondary over Dalton all day long.
