AFC West Conference - Denver Broncos PreviewThe Denver Broncos surprised many people last season by running away with the AFC West title en route to a 13-3 record. While we expect a much tighter race with Kansas City this season, we still expect Denver to prevail and repeat as division champions on the strength of the far superior defense.Quarterback Jake Plummer was unbelievable last season as he passed for over 3300 yards and threw just seven interceptions against 18 touchdown passes. Sure that may have been a career year, but we do not expect a terrible fall-off this season considering that he will be throwing against some poor defenses inside the division. It also helps his cause that the Broncos were able to sign wide receiver Javon Walker away from the Packers, as he has more of an ability to stretch the field than the other Denver receivers do. As for the Denver running game, is it the players or is it the system? We ask this because the Broncos are always among the NFL leaders in rushing, yet they have a different 1000-yard rusher every year! Undrafted free agent Mike Bell out of Arizona will now try to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Mike Anderson, Clinton Portis and Terrell Davis. If he is not up to the task, the Broncos still have Tatum Bell and Ron Dayne in reserve. Given that the offensive line is one of the best in football, we expect the running game to flourish again regardless of who gets the carries. Check out Bovada and start winning NOW!

The defense was solid last season finishing 13th in the entire NFL, and it played much better than that as many of the yards this unit allowed came late in games with the outcome already settled. Nobody was able to run on the Broncos as they allowed just 85.2 rushing yards per game. This unit probably had the smallest turnover in the off-season of any other defense in the league, so we look for solid numbers again this year. The Denver Broncos may have over achieved a bit last season by beating up on a weak division, but we feel that they have enough talent to repeat as division champions in 2006. Prediction for 2006: 1st Place AFC West After predicting multiple Super Bowl winners, expert NFL handicapper Mike "The Picker" Jones has returned with his 2012 Super Bowl XLVI prediction! His early Superbowl prediction was the New York Jets but after them falling apart towards the end of the regular season and missing out on the NFL playoffs, Mike now is going with the Patriots to win Superbowl XLVI. "I predict the AFC East New England Patriots will take down NFC powerhouse New York Giants by four points in the 2012 Super Bowl!" Good luck with all your 2012 NFL picks and have fun with a few Super Bowl prop bets at SBG Global Sportsbook, the world-wide leaders of online gambling! Super Bowl XLVI Picks from JP - The New England Patriots and the New York Giants will meet once again in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5th at 6:30pm ET in a rematch of the 2007 Super Bowl. The rematch will go down at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where the Patriots will take the field as 3-point favorites over the New York Giants, but I have it going the other way. I think New York's defensive front will use the turf to its advantage and will get to Tom Brady enough times with their ferocious pass rush, while Eli Manning will slice up the Patriots' secondary, which will lead them to stop the Patriots at the finish line. The Pats may be the better team, but the Giants are the hotter club and that will translate onto the field on Super Sunday. --- by Bones McCoy at 1800-sports.com on September 06, 2006
