On August 7, during the Pat McAfee Show, Dan Orlovsky stated that the Denver Broncos should be viewed as a favorite for the Super Bowl. Orlovsky highlighted the team's improvements from the previous season, including significant player additions like Jaylen Waddle and the development of their young quarterback. Denver's strong defense and the leadership of coach Sean Payton were also emphasized as factors contributing to their potential success.
