The Denver Broncos first four games of the season could end up in some variation of home games against the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and road games against the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers. Essentially, the first month will be against their non-conference opponents.
Vic Tafur, who covers the Las Vegas Raiders, noted that this is likely to be the case when the NFL schedule is released on Thursday.
Anticipate NFL schedule being released tomorrow with possibly disposable non-conference games the first 4 weeks.
