Here are your advantages:
1. Your Defense. If you attack aggrsively, Plummer can be forced to make a mistake.
2. You have an excellent home opener record.
3. Shanahan has a terrible record in Florida. He has lost most of his games he's played in Florida.
4. Your team is looked at as "weak" by many. We tend to drop games we "should" win because we look past them and don't prepare or whatever.
Denver's Advantages:
1. Our defense is also very good. Our corners are solid. Our linebackers are the fastes and some argue best in the league. The line was the weak link and while we've been heckled for the "brownco" pick-ups, they looked exceptional in preseason. That could mean nothing at all when we use live ammo, so we'll see.
2. Our offense will be better than last year. We've been slowly upgrading our line and we are deep at running back. Your run defense isn't the strongest point of your D, or at least is wasn't last year (could be different now) and we love to run the ball.
3. Jake Plummer hasn't thrown a bad pass since last season. I'm sure it will happen but preseason usually is a sign of things to come. Last year during preseason he threw for 4 ints in five games and zero touchdowns. During the offseason they worked on reading some defenses with him and he finished the preseason with zero interceptions and one of the highest QB ratings of preseason. Again, its preseason which could mean total crap, but it gives you a rough idea of how he'll look.
4. The Broncos play their best ball in September.
My prediction: A defensive battle. You guys will put up a good fight but your offensive woes will catch up and we'll win this one by a field goal or two.
Now: Commence the "Ban him" posts this site is famous for. :D
