Von Miller has high expectations for the upcoming NFL season. Free agency has not even begun yet and already Miller is making his predictions for the 2013-14 season. Not lacking any confidence in his team, Von Miller predicts the Denver Broncos will win the Super Bowl next season.
The Broncos made a definite upgrade in their team when they added Peyton Manning last season as quarterback. They earned the AFC's top seed in the playoffs after going 13-3. The Broncos went on to lose in heartbreaking fashion to the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round of the playoffs. Denver lost 38-35 in overtime after a last minute touchdown pass from Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco that tied the game in regulation.
Despite the loss, Miller has not lost a single bit of confidence in his team. The star linebacker tweeted out, "You can post this where ever..Denver broncos will win the Super Bowl 2013."
Miller certainly has the stats to back up his bragging. In just two years in the NFL, Miller has accumulated 30 sacks, 105 tackles and eight forced fumbles. He is a big reason the Denver Broncos will enter next season as Super Bowl contenders no matter what. If it was not for the last second 70-yard touchdown pass from Flacco with 31 seconds left in the game, Miller could have been predicting the Broncos would repeat as Super Bowl champions.
The Denver Bronco's defense was one of the best in the league last season. They held opponents to 199.6 passing yards and 91.1 rushing yards per game, both were third-best in the NFL. Peyton Manning has revitalized the passing game, giving the Broncos a well-balanced team. They started off 2-3, but then went on to win 11 straight games, earning a playoff berth. Many believed the Broncos were going to win it all before falling to the Ravens in Denver.
Miller's prediction is not crazy by any means, but making the call in March feels a bit early.
