9. Denver Broncos

The Broncos finished 5-11 and last in their division in 2020. The Giants play them Week 1 at MetLife Stadium, so New York has home field advantage but don’t count Denver out just yet.

They had nice offensive weapons in Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, and Courtland Sutton will be back this season. They also drafted Patrick Surtain this year, so their secondary is looking good with Justin Simmons, Kareem Jackson, Kendall Fuller, and Ronald Darby.

Denver’s biggest question mark is whether Teddy Bridgewater, named the Broncos’ starting quarterback this week, can be consistent enough to maximize all of the speed at the skill positions around him.

I think this matchup will be fun to watch week one with two great secondaries and wide receivers on both sides.
