Broncos 27, Titans 16
A strong start to the season is what this team needs. The schedule is a bit soft through the first ten games or so, but the back half of the schedule is quite brutal. They must start stacking wins early and often here and the Titans are not a team they should be struggling to beat at home if they are truly ready to contend in the AFC. Now is time to show you belong, Denver! - Tim Lynch
Broncos 27, Titans 14
The Broncos begin their 2025 season against the team who performed the worst in 2024. I believe Titans quarterback Cam Ward will develop into a quality signal caller in the NFL. However, believe he will struggle going up against Denver’s defense which was the best at generating pressure last year. Rookie quarterbacks historically do terrible on the road in their debuts. Look for the Broncos’ defense to force multiple turnovers and help give the offense short fields to secure a victory in the season opener. - Chris Hart
Broncos 33, Titans 14
Game one should be a chance for Sean Payton to send a message to the league. The Denver Broncos are here to dominate. The defense should be better than they were in 2024. The loss of Dre Greenlaw hurts, but this game should still be a big win. The reigning DPOY along with Nik Bonitto and company flying around is a scary proposition for the Titans offense. Expect Bo Nix to be unleashed. The run game will be better. This team is primed for a deep run in the playoffs and that all starts here. - Adam Malnati
Broncos 24, Titans 17
I’m expecting the offense to look good, but it almost always takes time to get that side of the ball rolling come season. They’ll be solid, but also likely will leave points off of the board. They’ll defense, however, will be ready to fly around on Sunday. And while Cam Ward is the number one overall pick for a reason, this is a tall ask for a rookie QB in his first game. - Ross Allen
Broncos 24, Titans 0
This Sunday, Denver is gonna make a STATEMENT! Sean Payton said it in the preseason: this team is entering the Super Bowl window. And what better way to prove it than shutting out the worst team of 2024 with a rookie QB? The Broncos’ defense is stronger than last year, and they’re about to feast! Get ready, because this is the game where Denver shows the league we’re for real! - Ivan Talavera
Broncos 24, Titans 10
To offense works to find its footing as the defense makes Cam Ward’s day absolutely miserable. Solid performance that shows good things are to come but work remains. - Mike DeCicco
Broncos 34, Titans 13
The Broncos get the hot start they need and completely dominate Tennessee. Nix and the offense get started early and don’t let up. The defense plays like the best defense in the league and makes the day miserable for Ward. It’s a great start to the season that allows for the Broncos to build on and get even better. - Ian St. Clair
Broncos 28, Titans 17
The Broncos clutch a much-needed early win thanks to big plays by Evan Engram and Troy Franklin. The Titans turn out to be tougher than expected, though, and give the Broncos a run for their money. - Sadaraine
Broncos 27, Titans 12
I have a feeling the offense may have a shaky first drive or two, before locking in and putting points on the board several drives in a row. The defense is plenty capable of preventing the Titans from capitalizing early, however, harassing Cam Ward all afternoon and holding Tennessee to four field goals on the day. - Taylor Kothe
