Three most likely season scenarios for the Denver Broncos: Most likely finish

Denver Broncos win 10 or 11 games, make playoffs as a Wild Card team

I find this to be the most likely scenario for the 2022 Denver Broncos. My official prediction for the team is an 11-6 regular season finish, with one playoff win to advance to the divisional round.

This would be a success, even though the team would tell you it wouldn’t be when the season ended.

When Tom Brady arrived in Tampa Bay in 2020, the Buccaneers won four more games in the regular season from 2019 to 2020.

The Rams won two more games in the regular season when Matthew Stafford arrived as well.

So, could the Broncos win three more regular season games from 2021 into 2022? Sure, I think that’s wildly in reach. A 10-7 record isn’t overly impressive, but it’s still very good, especially with how talented the conference is.

Hot. If Broncos miss playoffs in '22, Hackett should be fired. light

A 10-7 or 11-6 record would be a great starting point for the new era of Broncos’ football, and it would allow the team to identify the main weaknesses of the club. A 10-7 or 11-6 team isn’t going to have many weaknesses, so finishing with one of these records could propel them to even bigger heights in 2023.
