Josh McDaniels and the Denver Broncos are 6 to 1 odds to win the AFC West<\/figcaption><\/figure>The Denver Broncos will eventually be led by QB Tim Tebow, but if and when that actually happens during his rookie year will play a large role in defining their season.\u00a0 The Broncos folded after a surprising 6-0 start a year ago behind QB Kyle Orton, who was traded for the disgruntled Jay Cutler.\u00a0 However, Orton showed he is nowhere near the level of a Pro Bowler as Denver dropped eight of 10 games to finish a roller-coaster season for first-year head coach Josh McDaniels.\u00a0 Orton is expected to be the starter for the season opener, but how long he stays in that position remains to be seen with Tebow and Brady Quinn waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n
