A comprehensive preview, including betting odds and predictions, for the NCAAF game between the Monmouth Hawks and Western Michigan Broncos.

The Broncos are keeping an eye on linebackers for a good reason.

In the Broncos’ second preseason game, Waddle ran a deep route over the middle and easily separated from Green Bay Packers All-Pro safety Xavier McKinney. Nix dropped back to his own 30-yard line and fired a 32-yard strike between the numbers to the Packers’ 38. Waddle scampered for another 13 yards before getting up and flexing.

Bo Nix's ankle injury turned 2025 into a "what if?". Now revenge is within Denver's grasp.

The Broncos will need each one of these players to take their games to another level to win it all this year.

"Prove that you can do this again and be one of the league's best teams," Dave Helman said of the Broncos going into the 2026 season.

"That’s just the internal motivation that I have to not let my teammates down and not let the organization down. I owe them my 100%," Bo Nix said.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos will close out Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season Monday night with one of the most anticipated division games of the opening weekend. The Broncos will travel to Arrowhead Stadium for a primetime AFC West matchup that features two quarterbacks returning from major injuries.

"Whenever he sets his mind to it, nobody can block him," Broncos OLB Nik Bonitto said of Que Robinson.
