-- ryan haarer is at the stadium. >> reporter: he's a not so popular guy. a lot of fans are angry. we talked to the players and know how they feel, no ill will toward brock, but we do know how the fans are feeling toward brock. these broncos fans think he made a bad choice chasing the money. let's hear what they hope happens to him after kickoff on the feeling. i have a feeling he booed tonight. >> let's do the twist. that's what they're doing to him tonight. >> that's what he gets for leaving us. >> texans are a good team. i respect that he chose there, but i think he should have stayed home. >> we hope that it works. it shakes him up. >> i don't want to see him get hurt or anything, but i think our team is going to be after him. >> i hope he can't put his pants on when he leaves here he's so [ bleep ] sore.

>> reporter: von miller and the broncos d will have to do some major work to make that happen. let's talk strategy. rod mackey, mike klis inside. guys, this is a big game coming off of two losses. what needs to happen tonight in this primetime match-up? >> reporter: the broncos definitely need to bounce back. they haven't lost three straight games since back in 2011 and ryan was talking to some of those fans. they have some ill will towards brock and the players try to put on the straight face, but there's no question they en the quarterback left this team behind for what he thought were greener pastures in houston. >> reporter: there's no maybe about it. he is getting booed tonight and he's getting booed hard. he will get bad all game long. it's unusual. usually the backup quarterback is the most popular guy on the team, not this guy. he was a backup quarterback here four years. he is going to get the business. he did say, one comment he made, he thought he could have

the guys in the locker room the wrong way. >> reporter: i think when he said it, he meant individual success because of the way their system is. >> reporter: the offensive system. >> reporter: there's no doubt the broncos as a team are a better team than the texans. we've seen brock play well and make mistakes. in houston he's had eight interceptions. that could be the key to get to him and make him make mistakes so their offense can have more time on the field to get things they need that. >> reporter: the past couple games they haven't had the pass rush because of the quick passing game. i think houston will do that to help out brock in this game, also. >> reporter: we'll have much more coming up in sports and don't forget our pregame show at 5:30. ryan, back to you. >> reporter: good stuff, guys. talk to you later. kathy, i've been out here with these tailgaters all day. it is beautiful. i haven't seen a sweatshirt broken out until just now when

at some point. >> it's such an easy forecast you could predict it tonight. beautiful conditions over downtown denver, fair skies, light winds. typically low 60s this time of year, close to 80 at dia this afternoon, winds not much of a factor, watching a few gusts pick up on the far eastern plains. it's dry. it certainly is dry, no signs of moisture other than overnight cloud cover. all the rain and snow stays in the high country for now. when our field, the kickoff temperature could be close to 70 degrees at sunset. by 8:00 mid-60s with light winds, by 9:30 a temperature of 60. in our main weather segment are we every going to see rain and snow? we'll talk so much more about that as we await denver's first snowfall, but glad that it's not coming tonight. that looks like a winning snowfall, don't you think? >> so unlike late october.

our pregame coverage starts at 5:30. that happens on channel 20. kickoff is right at 6:30. polling centers opened across colorado this morning. nearly 114,000 ballots have been returned in the state. voters in denver, jefferson and arapahoe counties have turned in the most in the metro area. starting today at voter service and polling centers citizens can vote in person, request a new or replacement ballot, register to vote or mail ballot and get one of those i voted stickers. >> the other thing that's been interesting to watch on social media now are ballot selfies. if a voter wants to take a picture of themselves as they are voting, they can do that so long as they don't hold up their entire ballot and show this is how i voted because that is against state law to reveal your entire ballot that way. >> a state legislator and 18- year-old voter filed suit today in federal court challenging

colorado saying the law violates free speech. the secretary of state's office says the law protects the integrity of voting and protects voters from intimidation. a poll from abc news shows donald trump down by 12 points. another national poll shows a tied race. that poll from investors business daily shows clinton and trump each have 41% of the vote among likely voters. trp his claim the system is rigged. president obama again responded to those claims while campaigning for clinton at an event in las vegas. >> they want me to take that back. let me tell you, folks, it's a rigged system. and we are going to drain the swamp of corruption in washington d.c. >> donald trump is already talking about how the game is rigged. i got to say that mean he's losing.

over yet. democrats say despite some of the recent polls showing clinton ahead, the race may still be close. both candidates are going after undecided voters. several police departments across the metro area have used crisis intervention training to respond to calls in the community involving people with mental illness. today the denver chapter of national alliance on mental illness honored denver police officers who use their cit training in the field. officer michael morelock and in november, 2014 to check on a man who said he wanted to end his life. he had a knife and told them to stay away when they arrived. officer morelock used impeccable verbal judo sharing some of his own personal stories. he said the training helped. >> it's not always about chasing the bad guys and running down the crooks and doing the paperwork. sometime it's about bumping into normal people that just

>> officer morelock's partner, officer matthew heis were honored, two of 19 officers given plaques at a luncheon this afternoon. denver began cit training in 2002. the newest inductees into the broncos ring of fame were inducted last night. drew talked about what it means to them coming up in sports. >> also a colorado company

firefighters on the front lines of the junkins fire in southern colorado don't expect to have it fully contained until november 15th. they have it 50% contained today. the warm weather helped spread the fire today. it started a week ago when high winds blew an outbuilding into a utility pole and knocked down a power line. it has now burned 28 square miles near the town of westcliffe and destroyed nine homes. haiti is slowly recovering after hurricane matthew came ashore earlier this killing hundreds. the storm surge and flooding caused most of the damage. 9news reporter maya rodriguez tells us about a colorado company that specializes satellites that developed a way to measure the impact of water after a natural disaster. >> reporter: this is haiti before hurricane matthew and after. the destruction was captured by mechanical eyes high above earth. >> we spent a lot of time thinking about how to convert pixels into useful information.

digital globe captured the before and after images. they have four satellites circling the earth and offer up images like these to government agencies and first responders after a public disaster. >> one of the biggest problem in haiti is getting people resources who don't have access to clean water, food and medicine. knowing where the areas were and how many people are impacted allows humanitarian relief agencies to get the resources out to the people who need it most. it's problem. >> reporter: and they're using something newspaper, a so- called water algorithm that can help human eye pinpoint new bodies of water like these in north carolina, flooding which came in the aftermath of hurricane matthew. >> we're collecting imagery and processing it to detect water, but other areas that are interesting are where are the human settlements, the structures, the roads. >> reporter: that program is able to map where infrastructure used to be like roads noted here in red lines,

under water. it can also calculate the depth of the water, things human eyes would not be able to do. >> the difference is scale. we collect 30 million square kilometers of imagery daily. so to have a human step in and try to identify the location where water exists takes days to weeks, but with a machine we can do it in minutes to seconds. >> reporter: time that can be precious when live hang in the balance. maya rodriguez, 9news. >> digital globe's images are them available to anyone who wants to see them. you can even help map differences in before and after pictures following a disaster. we have a link for more information how to do that on 9news.com. the price of gawk mole hill -- guacamole just went up. the shortage of avocados is pushing up prices double and sometimes triple depending where you live. experts say prices could stay that way through the super

guacamole. we should just focus on tonight's game for the texans. ryan is outside the stadium where people are heading to their seats. >> reporter: broncos fans came out in all their orange today and we know how much everybody across the state love painting everything orange including the folks in arapahoe county. road and bridge crews fo broncos pride by installing permanent broncos logos in the crosswalk at broncos parkway in potomac in front of the uchealth training center. the county used it as an opportunity to customize them. check those out if you're around town. i'd love to see them in more places. >> they shut down the intersection right there at broncos parkway and potomac for days on a sunday on the weekends. they were doing some other

logo yet, pretty cool. go enjoy a bacon wrapped hotdog. >> reporter: see you. >> bring me back a teriyaki bowl. not exactly what you consider football weather, these warm temperatures stick around a while. kathy has the forecast with

i'm making some great food. it's going to be a great game and we're totally beating the texans today. >> reporter: that pretty much sums up how everybody tailgating out here today felt at sports authority field. gates opened at noon for the tailgate, plenty of those mile high salutes to block out all this sun, not so much as a sweatshirt. >> it does not feel like football season at all, kathy. attire. >> reporter: it's warm, adele. it make you speechless it's so nice for october. we were almost 80 today in the city. the average is 62 and it still beautiful out there now. take a look. you'll still have some time to get out and enjoy the evening. if you're lucky enough to be at the game, good for you. early evening forecasts show temperatures ranging between 78 degrees at 4:00 into the mid- 60s by sunset this evening. in the high country a little welcome rain and snow, snow level high at 10,000 feet.

78 at dia and 60s in the foothills. currently 76, dry, humidity 14%. in the backyard there's a little easterly wind kicking up a little bit with 75 here outside the studios, not a lot to show you on the radar yet. that will change. all of this high cloud deck, there's a little weak weather system embedded within that southwest flow that may bring welcome rain and snow up high, not holding together enough to bring moisture to lower elevations. the cool air riding the jet temperatures dip and the moisture, best chance for showers actually central california into the pacific northwest. some of it sneaks in underneath this dominant ridge of high pressure which is keeping the storm track to the north. we may see beneficial rain and snow across the western slope tonight and again tomorrow. again the snow level is high at 10,000 feet. we're back in the low to mid- 70s tomorrow. even with this weak weather system coming through, the morning cloud cover and the potential for a little drizzle and maybe a few light foothill

should be mild and dry tonight with the best chance for that moisture hitting the ground again across the continental divide and western slope areas. you'll have the cloud deck increasing overnight, a mostly cloudy start to your day tomorrow. afternoon sun will provide us with a quick warm-up as lies go back above -- highs go back above average. we have a quiet forecast for denver until 3 a.m., clouds creep in, rain and snow line will run into showers overnight. lows will fall into the 40s, similar numbers on the a -- on the plains tonight. we've got 50s in the colorado high country tomorrow and a nice day in the foothills, blackhawk, conifer and evergreen between 54 and 58 degrees on tuesday afternoon. high cloud, 46 tonight, light winds out of the east. tomorrow we wake up to cloudy

sunshine, back above average in the mid-70s. temperatures in the low to mid- 70s through wednesday, 80 degrees thursday. a weak front again friday but notice we are dry right into the weekend. oh, parents everywhere are celebrating the halloween forecast, mid-70s on monday, lots of sunshine during the day and a dry evening with trick-or- treat temperatures in the 60s to start which is where we'll find our broncos tonight on the field close to 70 at kickoff, mid-60s by 8:00 and then low 60s by about 9:30 tonight and if this isn't a broncos orange sunrise, adele, well, i don't know what is. >> i don't either.

stocks closed higher on wall street, dow up 77, s&p up

from colorado's sports leader here's drew soicher. >> reporter: hi, everybody. it's turn brock the clock night at the stadium. former broncos quarterback brock osweiler is back in denver for the first time since he split for the houston texans back in april. osweiler spent most of four years on the broncos bench. so he had plenty of time to observe and knows exactly what he's getting himself into. challenge ahead of us going into mile high stadium, you know. those fans are loud. they support the home team. they're making noise all game. they're going to make it very difficult on us to communicate. i know how talented the defense is, you know. i'm not blind to that. they're the super bowl champions for a reason and i know the challenge ahead of us going into mile high, going against that great defense, you know, trying to move the ball

9news broncos insider mike klis, let's play klis and tell. the fans are going to boo osweiler because i guess that's what you're supposed to do when a player chooses to leave your team, but he probably deserves a standing ovation, don't you think? >> reporter: he had a 5-2 record as a starter. he was a big reason why they got to the playoffs with the no. 1 seed and from the no. 1 seed home field advantage they were able to advance to the super bowl, two big wins against new en and against cincinnati late, both of those team going for the no. 1 seed. he played his two best games in those two clutch games. so yes, he problem deserves a little applause, but that's no fun. >> reporter: he also did the right thing when he was waiting, always said and did the right thing during those four agonizing years, i'm sure. >> reporter: he always did and he finally got his chance and i do think he was disappointed, frustrated, maybe even a little bitter when after he got his

to peyton manning. brock osweiler i'm sure believes the broncos would have won the super bowl had they stuck with him at quarterback last year. >> reporter: the broncos wanted to keep osweiler. they ended up with trevor siemian. hey, what's up? >> hi, rod. >> reporter: rod smith. >> reporter: they ended up with trevor siemian instead of osweiler. in retrospect it worked out pretty well. >> reporter: i think dollar for dollar you got to say trevor siemian was a better deal, $535,000 the salary for trevor siemian. 18million on average for brock osweiler. that's $17.5 million savings, perhaps they got von miller done because they didn't sign brock osweiler. >> reporter: good point. >> reporter: they got emmanuel sanders. they got cj anderson and brandon marshall also signed. so i think that head the budget considerably -- that head --

>> reporter: three more names on the level 5 facade tonight. broncos unveiled the pillars, the 29th, 30th and 31st individuals honored with 8-foot bronze and steel pillars outside the stadium and this evening the celebration moves inside. >> i think it was the biggest individual honor, you know. obviously the super bowls were the biggest thing that you're going for, but individually this is the gg ever been given. so i'm very thankful, very thankful i got a chance to play 15 years in the nfl for what i consider the best franchise in professional sports. >> i honestly have seen these here before, but i always thought they were for just the guys who got their numbers retired. i didn't understand this was part of the whole ring of fame. so i learned that in the last couple weeks. it's really, really special. it really is and i've seen prior to games as a broadcaster

coming and seeing this and now to know that i'm there, it's really cool. >> what i'm feeling right now is from the time that i sat on that stage my eyes were focused on my mother and some of the things that they said about me she may have heard them before, but to hear somebody say it in this forum, she was filled with joy and i spoke with it her earlier today and i said there will be no crying because if you do, i will join suit and it's just not football. there's no crying in this >> reporter: ring of fame inductee john lynch and john elway will join us on the pregame show in a few minutes on channel 20. see you then. we're live on monday night football. i'm drew soicher. >> thanks a lot, drew. see you guys in a bit. it will be a perfect night for football. >> would you like to see the forecast again?

>> hey. >> it's mild and dry. sunny and mid-70s. in the next hour sunny and mid- 70s. >> even i could do it. >> even drew could do it. mid-60s at 8:00, low 60s by 9:30. there is some moisture coming to the high country and not to denver. >> that's all right. >> we'll have to buckle through

tonight, battleground blitz. just 15 days to go, hillary clinton riding high, and donald trump now telling his supporters, the polls are rigged, casting blame as the candidates hit the home stretch. highway horror, new clues and questions after a tour bus and a big rig collide. the feds now manhunt for a killer who opened fire on police, now on the run, armed and dangerous, and there is another troubling twist. bonus betrayal. thousands of troops promised money to re-enlist and serve america at war, now years later being told to give the money back. military families outraged. and the end of a course. -- curse.
