Season opener featuring the Denver Broncos hosting the Tennessee Titans at Mile High Stadium. Broncos are favored heavily on home ground while Titans enter with a rookie QB and rebuild status.
Key Factors to Consider
Denver showed strong preseason form and has a solid defensive and offensive unit, ranked top in the AFC in many categories last season. Tennessee had a poor 3-14 record last year with struggles on both sides of the ball and a rookie QB starting this season.
Recent H2H favors Denver significantly with Tennessee struggling to keep close. Broncos have won majority of recent matchups and cover spreads more consistently.
No major injury concerns reported for Denver, Titans adjusting to new QB Cam Ward and depth risks remain.
Denver's home-field altitude advantage and early season weather conditions typically favor a strong defensive game. Also notable is Broncosβ efficient gameplan and coaching consistency.
Broncos motivated to start strong at home and continue positive trends. Titans aiming to improve on last season but performance uncertainty and rookie QB pressure may blunt chances.
