Three most likely season scenarios for the Denver Broncos: Second most likely 2022 finish

Broncos are on fire throughout the season, finish 12-5 and win AFC West

I like the Broncos’ chances to win the division. I think most, if not everything has to go right, but I find this more likely than the team outright missing the playoffs in my last slide.

Like I mentioned above, the team has the easiest schedule in the AFC West, which I think is a massive advantage that we aren’t talking about enough. They’ve also got a bye week right in the middle of the season, which is great, and several games playing poor teams.

Russell Wilson has won 65.82 percent of his regular season games. Over a 17-game season, that’s 11.18 games. So, we should expect the team to win 11 games in 2022, but Russell Wilson has achieved a greater than 65.82 percent winning percentage in five of his 10 seasons played.

This would mean that Wilson performs above expected about half the time. So, why can’t the Broncos be a team that benefits from Wilson’s “better than average” half, as opposed to his career average half?

I maintain that the Denver Broncos 2022 roster is the best offensive roster Wilson has played with. I maintain that the Broncos will score a ton of points, have a sound defense, and win a ton of games. This formula will lead them to winning the division in 2022.
