If Denver falls and hovers around .500 in 2017, sure you can talk about them being in dire straits, but this can still be a 10+ win team and compete for the division. All things continue to run through NE and as you pointed out, as long as Alex is KC's QB... it's all up for grabs.
Home opponents: Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Cincinnati Bengals.
Away opponents: Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Indianapolis Colts.
I like the way it sets up with those bolded teams playing in Denver, and I think the road games are about as good as you could hope for in 2017.
Splits in the division wouldn't shock me, across the board. It will be interesting to see how the schedule plays out... but @ Bills, @ Dolphins, @ Eagles, @ Skins ... I like those game. Not sure how to view the Colts really.
Patriots, Giants, Cowboys and Bengals - all in Denver, much better than meeting those teams on the road.
