During the crazy 2022 offseason, several teams made all-in moves to improve their team's chances, but only one team was able to acquire a sure-fire future Hall of Fame quarterback. Denver gave up five draft picks and three players for Russell Wilson, the durable former Super Bowl-winning QB from Seattle. With an offense including spark plug second-year running back Javonte Williams and the above-average receiver trio of Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and Tim Patrick, the Broncos immediately have an exciting offense and are built to win now.< /p>
The biggest obstacle the Broncos may face in 2022 is that they happen to be in the most competitive division in the NFL. The Chargers and Raiders also made notable improvements, and while the Chiefs traded away Tyreek Hill, Patrick Mahomes isn't letting that team slip too far. The division quite simply is a gauntlet. The Broncos open with four of their first six games on national television, but the first half of the season is manageable enough to give the team a reasonable chance to open above .500 before their well-timed bye week after a trip to London. Denver closes with five of their final six games against teams projected to make the playoffs — not including the Cardinals, who did so last season.'
With the tricky late-season schedule in mind, bettors need to make sure they do their homework before they invest in Caesars Sportsbook's Over/Under total of ten wins. The Super Bowl odds of +1600 are hard to assess and the conference and division odds, cons idering how competitive both look to be in 2022, also have plenty of moving parts. The Broncos are a tough nut to crack, and you might find yourself waiting until midway through the season to re-assess their playoff chances from there.
