Week 12 at Carolina Panthers

It would be easy to just pencil in the Broncos for a victory in every game that they should win, but the truth is, the NFL is the most unpredictable league in professional sports and basically every week, there is at least one game that goes the way no one thought that it would.

This is a trip to the east coast for an early kickoff following a hard-fought game against the Raiders. It won’t make sense, but the Broncos will drop one here to the Panthers.

Prediction: Loss, 8-3

Week 13 at Baltimore Ravens

This could be a key game for playoff positioning in the AFC as most expect the Ravens to be contenders this season. It’s another tough road game for the Broncos and for the first time in 2022, they lose back-to-back games.

Prediction: Loss, 8-4

Week 14 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

This game will feature all sorts of different storylines, but of course, the biggest will be the Broncos trying to snap their 13-game losing streak to the Chiefs. And according to these predictions, they will be doing so while trying to simultaneously end a losing streak in the season.

The game will take place on Sunday Night Football and will feature the Broncos’ best chance to beat the Chiefs since this streak began in 2015. This has to be where it ends. This will be where it ends.

Prediction: Win, 9-4

Week 15 vs. Arizona Cardinals

This will be another tough test for the Broncos as the Cardinals could have one of the league’s more dynamic offenses. Their defense should keep them in games as well and they should be a contender on the NFC side.

But the Broncos will be flying high after defeating the Chiefs and they will build upon that momentum behind the leadership of Wilson as they prepare to hit the postseason in stride.

Prediction: Win, 10-4
