Top rookie running back makes major prediction for the Denver Broncos image

The Denver Broncos currently hold the No. 1 seed in the AFC and if the season ended today, they would have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. But many fans and those in the media still don't buy them as a Super Bowl contender. 

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is not among them. 

Speaking with well-known internet personality Neon, Skattebo picked the Broncos when asked, "If you have to go all in, your life savings on one person, who would it be"?, Skattebo responded by picking Denver.

"On one team? "Bro, the Broncos are good". Neon seemed surprised by that answer, saying, "Broncos? The Texans almost beat them, bro".

"Yeah, they just find ways to win games, bro. It's hard to -- I hate saying it, I want to say the Giants are going to win it -- but the Broncos are really good, bro, they beat us."

Skattebo is, of course, referencing the game in which the Broncos exploded for 33 points in one quarter, completing one of the wildest comebacks in NFL history to beat the Giants 33-32 back in Week 7. Skattebo is out for the season after suffering a nasty injury the following week against the Philadelphia Eagles, but that game in Denver made an impression on him. 

Though he plays for another team, Broncos fans will likely become fans of Skattebo if they weren't already. He was a player heavily connected to the Broncos in this past year's draft as the team was looking for a running back, but chose to select RJ Harvey in the second round. 

Recently, he made news that was considered negative by many for his appearance on WWE Monday Night Raw, but for the same reason, he gained an even bigger collection of fans.
