2025 Denver Broncos Predictions with Odds to Win the Super Bowl and Season Win Totals

by Ryan Cobbett - 8/21/2025

The Denver Broncos were the last team in on the AFC side of last year’s playoff bracket as the Broncos finished with a 10-7 record. The Broncos lost two in a row to start the season, but an 8-3 stretch in the middle of the season propelled them into the playoff picture. They finished with a +114-point differential which was the third best mark in the AFC and their 6-2 home record was tied for the second-best mark in the conference.

The Broncos offense wasn’t particularly impressive last season as they averaged 324.6 YPG, but they did rank 10th in the league in scoring with 25 PPG. Bo Nix had a solid year for Denver as he threw for 3,775 yards and tallied 29 touchdowns on 567 pass attempts. He also added 430 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Javonte Williams also tallied four rushing touchdowns, tying Nix for the team lead, while finishing with a team best 513 rushing yards. Jaleel McLaughlin finished second on the team with 496 rushing yards while Audric Estime finished tallied 310 rushing yards on just 76 carries. Williams also managed to bring in 346 receiving yards, which was the fourth most on the team. Courtland Sutton led the team in the category with 1,081 receiving yards and his eight receiving touchdowns also topped the roster. Marvin Mims Jr. finished second in both receiving yards (503) and receiving touchdowns (six).

The defense ranked seventh in the NFL in allowed YPG (317.1) while they also held opponents to just 18.3 PPG which ranked third in the league. Brandon Jones was the leader in tackles with 115 while Cody Barton also reached the 100+ tackle mark with 106. Jones added three interceptions, 10 pass deflections, and two TFL’s to his impressive stat sheet last season. Nik Bonitto led the team with 13.5 sacks last season while also tallying 16 TFL’s, four pass deflections, and an interception. Zach Allen finished second on the team with 15 TFL’s while also adding 8.5 sacks. Jonathon Cooper finished second on the Broncos with 10.5 sacks while also forcing one fumble. Pat Surtain II continued to be one of the top lockdown cornerbacks in the league as he recorded 11 pass deflections and four interceptions, taking one back for a touchdown.

Key Additions/Losses

The offseason was rather quiet for the Broncos. They lost backup quarterback Zach Wilson to Miami while Williams left for Dallas. Barton, their leading tackler, left for Tennessee and punter Riley Dixon decided to head south to join Tampa Bay.

The Broncos made an upgrade replacing Williams by adding J.K. Dobbins while the offense also added Sam Ehlinger, Trent Sherfield, and Evan Engram. The defense replaced Barton with Dre Greenlaw, and they made a huge upgrade in the secondary by adding Talanoa Hufanga.

New Kids on the Block

The Broncos further boosted their secondary with their first pick in the draft when they added cornerback Jahdae Barron out of Texas. Barron will play opposite of Surtain and will form a solid duo of young cornerbacks. With their second pick, they added depth behind Dobbins in the run game by drafting running back RJ Harvey out of UCF. Harvey is a do it all back that seemed to add to his highlight reel every Saturday last season. The rest of the Broncos draft class is as follows: Pat Bryant (WR, Illinois), Sai’vion Jones (Edge, LSU), Que Robinson (Edge, Alabama), Jeremy Crenshaw (P, Florida State), and Caleb Lohner (TE, Utah).

X-Factors

Defense- While much of the roster remained the same, the Broncos added two new big names on defense in Greenlaw and Hufanga. Both of these guys have elite potential and can really take this defense to a new level this season. Denver’s defense already features some top play makers, but these two additions boost a unit that was a Top 10 defense last season. Expect Denver and Pittsburgh to have the two best defenses in the league this season.

Bo Nix- Nix had an incredible rookie campaign as he racked up over 4,000 total yards while scoring 16 total touchdowns. His play took Denver to the playoffs and showed the franchise was ahead of schedule. Now the question lingers on whether he will be able to replicate his stats. Nix was not widely expected to have such a successful rookie campaign and now doubters wonder if he will be able to lead this team back to the playoffs. Time will tell, but the success of Nix will be a big factor in how far Denver goes this year.

Denver Broncos Schedule Breakdown

Predicted Win Total: 9.5 Games

With the state of this defense, I see eight wins on the schedule at first glance with five toss up games. I am all over the over here. Denver could sneak away with this division title. The Broncos have an easier schedule than Kansas City or Los Angeles and their defense may be the best in the league this season. The only losses appear to be at Philadelphia in Week 5, at Houston in Week 9, at Washington in Week 13, and at Kansas City in Week 17. Denver has a 12-win ceiling this year, pay attention.

2025 Denver Broncos Predictions

I am high on Denver this season. Not only did they add Greenlaw and Hufanga during the offseason, but they also drafted Barron who should form a solid cornerback pair with Surtain. The defense is going to be incredibly elite, and Nix will make improvements in his sophomore season. At +310, there is a lot of value in betting on this defense to lead Denver to a division title. If Nix can replicate or improve, then Denver could find themselves as a true Super Bowl Contender this season.
