"It's just fun right now to be a Denver fan. It will be fun to bring a little orange into the [New England Patriots'] stadium," Bronco fan Erin Watkins said.

Waktins says she thinks the Broncos will pull off a win in overtime and that the biggest thing she's worried about is the weather.

"We are excited! It's going to be a great game against a good team. I have a suitcase full of Broncos gear - a lot of layers - and we will just suck it up and cheer [the Broncos] on."

Other fans heading out of DIA couldn't control their excitement.

"I am jacked up! So excited! We can't to watch the broncos play some football and beat the Patriots in their own backyard," another Bronco fan said.

Last Sunday, the Broncos won in overtime against the Pittsburg Steelers. Now, fans believe after that performance, anything is possible.

"After last week, they can do anything. They are a great group of players. They play well together. I believe those guys you can pull anything off," Andy Wilkins said.

There was even a rally at DIA on Friday morning. Drummers got travelers fired up and Miles the mascot and the Denver Broncos cheerleaders revved up the crowd. Fans were treated to pictures and lots of high energy.

The Broncos take on the Patriots on Saturday at 6 p.m. MST.
