Broncos have a favorable schedule moving forward

The Denver Broncos are 1-2 but should be 3-0 or at least 2-1. They let two very winnable games slip away the past two weeks and lost on two last-second field goals. Both of these losses were heartbreaking, frustrating, and frankly pissed me off. Neither the Colts nor the Chargers beat the Broncos; the Broncos shot themselves in the foot multiple times and lost the game.

With that said, the Broncos had back-to-back tough road games against good teams. The Colts are playing good football right now, and Daniel Jones appears to have found a home in Indianapolis. The Chargers have one of the best defenses in the NFL and potentially the MVP frontrunner in Justin Herbert, but despite all that, both teams needed a last-second field goal and some Broncos errors to beat them. While 1-2 sucks, the Broncos have proven they can be a much better team than their record shows.

Due to all this, the sky isn’t falling, the Broncos are still very much in the AFC playoff picture, and they have a very favorable schedule coming up.

If you take a look at the Broncos’ upcoming schedule, it is very favorable. On paper, they should be able to win most, if not all, of these games and move on from their disappointing start to the season.

Week 4: vs. Bengals on MNF

The Bengals are without Joe Burrow and were absolutely destroyed by the Vikings last week. The Broncos should dominate this game and move back to .500 on the year. If they struggle in this game, it will be a major red flag.

Week 5 @ Eagles

This is the toughest game on their stretch and will be a road game against the reigning Super Bowl Champions. I think the Broncos will play them tough and can win this game, but for now, I’ll mark it a loss. 2-3.

Week 6 @ Jets (London)

This game is a wildcard due to the London aspect of it, but again, the Broncos should be able to win this game. They’re a more talented team, and their defense should be able to dominate. If they take care of business, they will once again move to .500 with a 3-3 record.

Week 7 vs. Giants

I would be surprised if Russell Wilson is still starting at this point, so the Broncos will likely be facing rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. They have a good front seven, but overall, the Broncos are the better team and should come away with the win here. 4-3.

Week 8 vs. Dallas

The Cowboys have not played good football this year and are a bit of a mess due to the Parsons trade, injuries, and just typical Dallas Cowboys drama. This is a home game for the Broncos and a game they should win. 5-3.

Week 9 @ Houston

Right now, the Houston Texans are 0-3 and one of the more disappointing teams in the AFC thus far. They have a very talented defense, but...
