Denver Broncos 2024 predictions: Record, team awards, more image

The Denver Broncos kick off their 2024 regular season in exactly one week. The 53-man roster is set and the practice squad is filled. Now, it's time for the games that matter. 

The Broncos are embracing a youth movement as they build this team in the vision of Sean Payton. The team has missed the playoffs eight years in a row, but a successful preseason has Broncos Country buzzing. Still, the doubters on the national level remain at an all-time high. Only the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers are bigger longshots to win the Super Bowl, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. 

So let's take a shot at some predictions. How many games will this team win? Who will be the players who win our team awards? Will the Broncos finally end that playoff drought?

This would have the Broncos finishing with a 10-7 record and be right in the mix for the playoffs. 

Will the Broncos make the playoffs?

I predicted the entire NFL season over on playoffpredictors.com and it will allow you to pick every game of the season to get down to a Super Bowl winner. 

The Broncos finished 10-7 and were in second place in the AFC West, but because three teams from the AFC East were able to make the playoffs, with the Buffalo Bills also at 10-7 and having better tiebreakers, the Broncos were left out of the field once again. Though this would be disappointing, it will also be quite encouraging. 

This would make the Broncos a trendy pick to be a good team in 2025.
