One MANS Opinion: Episode 161 – Binging The Broncos

It’s that time of year again when Jeff Mans puts all of his offseason work into identifying that one NFL team that will take the league and the world by surprise in 2023. Over the last three years his “buying the Browns”, “chasing the Chargers”, and “digging the Dolphins” episodes have proven to be right on the money and the belief is that this year’s team will be no different. How can a team with one of the greatest NFL head coaches, an all-time franchise QB, a young powerful running back, a significantly upgraded offensive line, a deeply talented wide receiving corps and a top 10 defense be ignored? Jeff Mans believes they shouldn’t be and that is why he strongly recommends binging on the Denver Broncos in 2023.
