The Denver Broncos will host the Tennessee Titans in Week 1 this afternoon. Denver’s defense has a lot of talent and they will face Cam Ward making his NFL debut. On the other side, Bo Nix and the offense will look to find a running game that has been absent in recent years.
Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, September 7, 2025 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. You can watch the live stream of the game through FuboTV or on FOX. The game will be called by Adam Amin (play-by-play), Mark Sanchez (analyst), and Kristina Pink (sideline). You can also check local Broncos radio network affiliate stations.
Broncos vs. Titans game predictions
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are favored by 8.5-points in their home opener against the Titans here. That is a big spread for a team coming off their first playoff berth in a decade. The hype has been off the hook, but the Broncos do have an easier schedule to begin the season and they must stack some wins here early to replicate their playoff run in 2025. I think they do get off to the right start here in this game.
Prediction:Broncos 27, Titans 16.

Helluva pitch and catch by Bo Nix and Courtland Sutton.
It’s coming back tho. Holding Ben Powers.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 7, 2025
Nix has been good on the run but that one was ill-advised. Roger McCreary picked off a floating ball for Sutton.
Titans in business off Denver’s first turnover of the season.

Broncos offense looks like they’re in Week 1… some operational issues, a bit out of sync… early season things..

That play was no good from the start.
And ended even worse.
Bo Nix ran into sack. Fumble. Titans ball.

Strip-sack fumble. Jeffery Simmons beat Ben Powers. Nix spinning into it. A mess all around. Titans ball on the Broncos’ side of midfield.

Week 1 boo birds for the #Broncos offense.
Not the start fans were hoping for.
— Cody Roark (@CodyRoarkNFL) September 7, 2025
Titans could have taken three knees and run out the clock. Instead they throw incompletion and leave #Broncos with two timeouts left and 43 seconds.

#Broncos opt against a touchback and get torched by the decision in the final seconds of the half.
A 71-yard return by Chimere Dike and the Titans will have a chance at three points.

Nice move in space there by Bo Nix to set up a more manageable third down.
Which he follows up with a pitch-and-catch to Courtland Sutton for the first.
Two third-and-medium/long conversions on this drive.
— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) September 7, 2025
Wil Lutz is GOOD.
Broncos take the 13-12 lead.

Two big-time plays on that defensive series from Riley Moss.
Ward was looking for the deep shot on third down.
— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) September 7, 2025
Evan Engram with great spacial awareness to reach and get the first down.
