Broncos open 2.5-point underdogs to Raiders in Week 1Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsThe Denver Broncos will open up their 2019 season on the road against the Oakland Raiders on Monday Night Football as 2.5-point underdogs according to Westgate SuperBook. Below is the full list of odds for Week 1 of the regular season.Given the road team tends to get a three-point spotter, it would seem that oddmakers are giving the Broncos a slight edge over their AFC West rival. The Broncos full 2019 schedule has been released and this will be the first time in a while they have opened on the road to start the season. They will need to pile up the wins early, however, as they have a five game stretch late in the season of early east coast games. Historically, the Broncos have struggled in those types of early games. Four out of five games from Weeks 11 to 15 are going to be a brutal test for the Broncos. The more wins they get early the better.FanPulse: Broncos Country not feeling very confident heading into this week Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse — a survey of fans across the NFL, powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Broncos fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.The Denver Broncos lost in Week 3 on the road to Baltimore Ravens in a game where they were screwed by both the referees and themselves. The refs are something most fans will be annoyed with, but shrug off. It’s the mistake-prone football that leaves most of us not feeling very confident at all in this team.From 93% Garett Bolles Jersey , to 84%, to 74%, to 23% in just four survey’s. That’s how quickly two wins and a loss bring fan confidence from the stratosphere to the dumpster.With the red hot Kansas City Chiefs coming to town on Monday Night Football, all hope seems to be lost as in this same survey these fans are predicting an 8-point loss. This amounts to an amazing reversal of optimism from the fan base. The Broncos players have to feel like their backs are against the wall, which means we’re going to see exactly what this team is made of this week. Are they made of sterner stuff or will they fold like a wet piece of paper?I still want to believe they are head and shoulders above the team that took the field in 2017, so I am going to say this next game will be far more competitive than people expect.To end things on a more positive note, let’s look at how sad the Chiefs fan base is when it comes to championship expectations.87% are perfectly happy with no Super Bowl titles. That made me laugh out loud. The bar is set pretty low in Kansas City.
