Before the schedule was released, ESPN Bet placed the betting line for Broncos wins at 5.5 . Last season, the Broncos finished the season with eight wins and nine losses, generally in line with or slightly below predictions from the FOX31 sports team .

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the odds of the Broncos winning the Super Bowl are +15,000 as of 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday. They’re tied with the Washington Commanders with the third lowest odds trailed by the New England Patriots at +18,000 and the Carolina Panthers at +30,000.

If you’re looking for a safer bet, FanDuel has the Broncos at -900 to miss the playoffs.

The biggest change for the Broncos this year comes at quarterback where Russell Wilson has been released and will be replaced by a combination of Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson and Bo Nix .
