The 2:2 Denver Broncos are looking for a winning record. The Las Vegas Raiders Denver is currently on an eight-game winning streak against the Broncos, and in order to break that, Denver will need to get things going on offense.

The Broncos were inconsistent offensively, but they had sparks. In this game, the Broncos need those sparks to catch fire and find a way to keep them going for the rest of the season.

To help Denver achieve this, these five bold predictions must come true. This is a home game with a lot on the line and almost a must-win for the Broncos, but more than that, it’s a must-win for the offense.

My bold predictions for Week 5 are for the Broncos to come clean offensively while remaining dominant on defense.

Let’s dive in.

It was a difficult start for Nix as he was one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL this season. However, the newcomer had to face an onslaught of impressive defenses and a torrential downpour New York Jets.

The Raiders offer a reprieve, and Nix will take advantage of the Broncos’ demanding first-quarter schedule to take advantage of a middle-of-the-pack defense. The Raiders play out of coverage and their secondary has trouble missing tackles, so Sean Payton calls short, quick passes that lead to some yards after the catch and a few big plays, and Nix’s best passing day as a young pro.

Forecast: Nix threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns.

The Broncos’ offensive line struggled in the first two weeks, allowing 18 pressures with a pressure rate of 36.7 in Week 1, 14 pressures and 35.9% pressure in Week 2, nine pressures and 23.1% pressure in Week 3 as well five pressures and 18.5 pressure rate in week 4.

The Broncos have improved each week, allowing two sacks in each of the first two games but none in the last two. The O-line keeps it up and protects Nix so he can have a great day passing the ball.

Forecast: The Broncos allow fewer than five pressures on Nix.

There is a possibility that the Raiders will have to lose two offensive linemen, and they have struggled to protect Minshew all season. The Raiders will face the Broncos defense, one of the best pass rushing teams this season and also the most aggressive pass rushing team. Denver has recorded 12 sacks in the last two games

Forecast: The Broncos sacked Minshew eight times, resulting in 20 sacks in three games.

Thanks to the pressure beforehand, Minshew makes several mistakes. One of the pass rushers records a strip sack and forces two more bad passes that end up in the hands of a Broncos defender.

These three turnovers give Nix more opportunities, and the Broncos take advantage of this, scoring 17 points on turnovers.

Forecast: The Broncos defeated Minshew twice en route to a three-takeaway day.

There were some inconsistencies with the Broncos’ clean play. They were penalized 27 times, the 14th most so far this season.

These penalties have been costly in different ways and the Broncos have focused on cleaning up. Since the Broncos are playing in front of their home crowd, they are keeping penalties to a minimum.

The Broncos are tied for the sixth-worst turnover differential as their offense struggled to keep the ball. With seven: four interceptions and three lost fumbles, they are tied for the third-most giveaways this season.

The Broncos stay clean here by not turning the ball over, and with their projected three takeaways on defense, they increase their turnover differential on the season from -2 to +1.

Forecast: The Broncos have no turnovers and are assessed fewer than five penalties.
