Denver Broncos Schedule 2015: Game by Game Breakdown

Denver Broncos Schedule 2015: Game by Game Breakdown Getty Images
If you are already sick of the offseason and can't wait for the new season to begin, you are semi in luck. The 2015 NFL schedules have been released, which is pretty exciting stuff considering there is not much going on in the football world (luckily the 2015 NFL Draft is soon). The Broncos' schedule looks pretty challenging, but Peyton Manning & Co. should make the playoffs anyways.

Week 1: vs. Baltimore

Week 1: vs. Baltimore Jason Bridge-USA TODAY Sports
After winning the Super Bowl, then missing the playoffs the following year, the Baltimore Ravens found themselves back in the playoffs this past season. That said, fans can expect to see a healthy Peyton Manning in the first game of 2015, so good luck to the Ravens.

Prediction: Denver Wins (1-0)

Week 2: @ Kansas City

Beating Kansas City at Kansas City is no easy feat, but Denver should be a really strong team early on in the year. The Chiefs' defense has to play big if KC is going to win this one at home. After all, Manning is throwing the passes and C.J. Anderson is a beast on the ground.

Prediction: Denver wins (2-0)

Week 3: @ Detroit

Week 3: @ Detroit Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports
Here's where I see Denver slipping up early on in the season. It goes without saying that the Lions lost some talent on the defensive side of the ball, but it remains to be seen how Detroit will do on that end in 2015. Still, Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson are more than capable of putting enough points on the board to pull off the victory.

Prediction: Denver loses (2-1)

Week 4: vs. Minnesota

Week 4: vs. Minnesota Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports
Who knows what is going to happen with Adrian Peterson. AP on the team or not, this is an important season for Teddy Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the Vikings, as a whole, simply are not as good as this Denver squad. Plus, can you really see the young Bridgewater outdueling Peyton at home?

Prediction: Denver wins (3-1)

Week 5: @ Oakland

Week 5: @ Oakland Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
Oakland gets this game at home. Jack Del Rio also knows a thing or two about the Broncos, but none of that will matter. Expect Manning & Co. to score early and often in this Week 5 matchup.

It doesn't matter who is making the throws for Cleveland in this battle, the Broncos should have no problem doing work on both sides of the ball.

Prediction: Denver wins (5-1)

Week 8: vs. Green Bay

Week 8: vs. Green Bay Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports
Not only will the Broncos be coming off a bye entering this contest, but they get the Packers at home. Aaron Rodgers has the goods to rip apart any defense in the league, but Denver's D figures to be solid this year. Just in case it hasn't been clear enough, the offense should have no problem scoring ... a lot.

Prediction: Denver wins (6-1)

Week 9: @ Indianapolis

Week 9: @ Indianapolis Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
As much as I would love to see Peyton Manning tear up the Colts in Indianapolis, I simply just don't see it playing out like that. It will be interesting to see how all of the Colts' new additions do up until this point, but Denver will drop this road game regardless.

Prediction: Denver loses (6-2)

Alex Smith has found success with the Chiefs so far. That said, KC did not make the playoffs last year despite finishing with a 9-7 record. Here's the deal: Denver is not the easiest team to beat at home, especially in the Peyton Manning era.

Prediction: Denver wins (7-2)

Week 11: @ Chicago Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports
If you are a fan of John Fox, you without a doubt want the Bears to crush the Broncos in this one. Unfortunately for that dream, Chicago won five games last season, and who knows how the team will perform in the upcoming season. Still, Fox coaching against his old team is must-watch football, folks.

Prediction: Denver wins (8-2)

Week 12: vs. New England

Week 12: vs. New England Stew Milne-USA TODAY Sports
Coming off a Super Bowl victory, you could say the New England Patriots will enter this season with plenty of hype. However, the champs will have to travel to Denver. If this is the last time the Manning-Brady rivalry takes place during the regular season, I am giving it to the man who plays at home. In this case, that would be Peyton.

Prediction: Denver wins (9-2)

Week 13: @ San Diego

Week 13: @ San Diego Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY Sports
Yet another AFC West team that finished with a 9-7 record in 2014. Philip Rivers and the Chargers could use a playoff appearance right about now, but they may have to top the Broncos for the division title to achieve that feat. Before we even get to this game, it should be an interesting offseason for Rivers and the Chargers -- to say the least. Needless to say, who knows how they will look in the upcoming season.

Prediction: Denver wins (10-2)

Week 14: vs. Oakland Kirby Lee - USA TODAY Sports
Derek Carr is a year older and a year wiser. That is typically a good thing for a quarterback who is still trying to find his way in the pros. While Oakland should be able to win more than three games in 2015, it is not going to be the team to knock off the Broncos in their own house.

Prediction: Denver wins (11-2)

Week 15: @ Pittsburgh

Week 15: @ Pittsburgh Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports
Up until this point, hopefully neither team is battling key injuries. The Broncos being healthy or not -- well, relatively healthy, because injuries happen in football -- they are more than capable of winning on the road. However, Pittsburgh is coming off an 11-5 season, and did I mention this game was being played in Pittsburgh?

Prediction: Denver loses (11-3)

I would certainly like the Bengals' chances a lot better if they were playing at home. Certainly, I am not alone on that one.

Prediction: Denver wins (12-3)

Week 17: vs. San Diego John Rieger-USA TODAY Sports
If Denver can beat San Diego at San Diego, it will have no problem winning at home. Of course, resting players could be a thing for the Broncos in this contest if they actually enter with a 12-3 record.

Osweiler Seen Shoving Woman While Holding A Pizza

Brock Osweiler was recently offered a $45 million contract by the Denver Broncos, so you would think he'd want to be on his best behavior. Instead, in a new TMZ video, Osweiler, 25, was recently seen pushing a woman while holding a box of (delicious) pizza.
