I feel that Denver will wrap up the 2nd seed in the AFC which means that they will host a playoff game against a wildcard team. That wildcard team may just come out of the AFC North. Thus, with nothing to gain except the risk of injury against a Raider team that hates the Broncos, I feel there is a good chance that the Broncos will indeed rest some of their starters since almost every team is nicked up at the end of the season.
