The Denver Broncos look to move to 2-0 on the young 2018 season as they will face off with the struggling Oakland Raiders in an AFC West clash.

The Denver Broncos were able to fend off the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1. It was a solid effort that resulted in a quality team win. New quarterback Case Keenum demonstrated chemistry with his new weapons. He earned his new contract, involving the entirety of the Broncos starting offense.

Von Miller did his job, forcing two fumbles and sacking Russell Wilson three times. The 2018 Broncos team came out firing on all cylinders. Demonstrating a balanced offense, running backs Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay both contributed, while wide receiver Emmanuel Saunders took the top off the Legion of Boom. They look like they are already in midseason form.

Broncos head coach Vance Joseph will take on the rival Oakland Raiders in Week 2. The Raiders certainly missed Khalil Mack in Week 1. New head coach Jon Gruden has work to do during their short week to fix Derek Carr‘s stagnant offense. The Raiders will have to be creative to stay competitive in this divisional confrontation.

With this big AFC West clash looming for Sunday afternoon, we’re going to take a look at some big things that could be in store for the Broncos on both sides of the ball. Here are five bold predictions for Denver in Week 2 as they take on the Raiders.
