Predicted Broncos record
12–5
Season outlook
The Broncos are fresh off earning the top seed in the AFC and improved in the offseason, but face a tougher schedule than when they went 14-3. Bo Nix is primed for a true breakout campaign, and Denver remains the AFC West's new powerhouse. Despite a brutal mid-season stretch, the Broncos are expected to contend for the top seed once again.
