Denver Broncos Super Bowl LVIII, Conference & Division Lines

Denver Broncos Odds to Win Super Bowl LVIII

Russell Wilson's first year in Denver was an absolute disaster.  New head coach Sean Payton is a pretty good bet to revive the team, but in a loaded AFC West, it isn't easy to see this team contending for the division title.

The signing of guard Ben Powers increases the Broncos' pass-blocking prowess by a large margin, along with the addition of tackle Mike McGlinchey this offseason.  Denver seems committed to protecting Russell Wilson and added another weapon in Marvin Mims, who will benefit from playing alongside Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton after neither was traded away amid speculation.

While Mims will likely not continue to average 19.5 yards per catch, he’s a much-needed weapon for the Broncos.  They filled another need by drafting linebacker Drew Sanders, who earned 75.0-plus pass-rush and coverage grades in 2022.

In his first year as the team’s head coach Sean Payton will try to end the Broncos’ current seven-year playoff drought with nine home games, including one against the New York Jets, where former Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett was reunited with Aaron Rodgers as offensive coordinator.  Denver's bye week falls during Week 9 of the 2023 season.

Once one of the surest home-game bets in the league, the Broncos have had a winning record at home just once since the start of the 2017 season -- a 5-3 mark in their 7-9 finish in 2019.  The Broncos haven’t had a winning record against the AFC West since 2015, the team won Super Bowl 50.

After a 5-12 finish with the league’s worst offense last season (16.9 points per game), the Broncos will also find themselves farther off the primetime radar.  With the arrival of quarterback Russell Wilson last season, the Broncos had seven national television appearances set on their 2022 schedule when they received it last May – four of those in the season’s first six weeks -- compared to just two this time around.

Denver Broncos Schedule & Results

Founded in 1960 as charter members of the American Football League, the Denver Broncos did not post a winning record until 1973. In the franchise's early years, the Broncos were known for their hideous brown and yellow uniforms that included vertical socks. Even when they went to orange and blue in the mid-1960s, the team was still bad and ran on a shoestring budget. The biggest claim to fame for the Broncos was their win over the Detroit Lions in a 1966 exhibition game. It was the first exhibition game between the AFL and NFL and a shocking upset.

Led by the Orange Crush defense, Denver finally made the playoffs and the first Super Bowl in 1977, losing to the Dallas Cowboys.

In 1983, the franchise's fortunes changed forever with the arrival of first round draft choice John Elway. Elway rewrote the Broncos record book as a Hall of Fame quarterback. Elway and the Broncos lost three Super Bowls before finally winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 1997 and 1998 before Elway retired to become a team executive, which he is to this day.

Indianapolis Colts import Peyton Manning led the Broncos to two Super Bowls, including their last Super Bowl championship in 2015, and retired after the game. Since then, the Broncos have not had a credible quarterback. Until the arrival of Russell Wilson in 2022.  Or so they thought.
