NFL training camps have started and predictions for the 2023 season are now underway.
Last week, Nate Davis of USA TODAY shared his record predictions for every NFL team and he has the Denver Broncos going 10-7 this year. That would mark a notable improvement from their 5-12 record in 2022.
Here is Davis’ commentary on Denver’s outlook:
If new HC Sean Payton is reason enough to believe they can recover from last year’s debacle, then consider the return of WR Tim Patrick – a year removed from a torn ACL – an offensive line fortified by free agency and a leaner [Russell] Wilson under center. And better luck has to surface for a team not only waylaid by injuries in 2022 but one that lost nine of its 12 defeats by seven points or fewer.
The Broncos fall just short of overtaking the Kansas City Chiefs (11-6) in the AFC West and failing to win the division proves to be costly as a 10-7 record wouldn’t be enough to make the playoffs in Davis’ prediction.
It seems safe to say that Denver fans would accept finishing within one game of the Chiefs this season as a successful bounce-back year.
