Russell Wilson’s first year in Denver Broncos was an absolute NFL odds disaster. “Superman” was outed as quite human. Of great concern was Wilson’s aversion to contact. His once-lethal running ability has been choked off for several years. New head coach Sean Payton is a good bet to revive the team. But it isn’t easy to see this team contending for the division title in a loaded AFC West. Denver has new ownership, which could be a potential asset. But Russell Wilson cost the Broncos a fortune. And it will take years to balance the books.

In his first year as the team’s head coach Sean Payton will try to end the Broncos’ current seven-year online betting playoff drought. Denver has nine home games in 2023. Including one against the New York Jets. Former Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett was reunited with Aaron Rodgers as offensive coordinator.
Since 2017, the Broncos have had a winning record at home just once. The Broncos haven’t had a winning record against the AFC West since 2015. Following a 5-12 finish with the league’s worst offense last season, the Broncos will also find themselves farther off the primetime radar. Last season the arrival of quarterback Russell Wilson triggered seven national television appearances. Four of those in the season’s first six weeks. Compared to just two this time around.
2023 Denver Broncos Offseason Moves
The signing of guard Ben Powers increases the Broncos’ pass-blocking prowess by a large margin. Additionally, there is a new tackle Mike McGlinchey this offseason. Denver seems committed to protecting Russell Wilson. And they added another weapon in Marvin Mims. Mims will benefit from playing alongside Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton. Following NFL betting odds speculation that they would be traded away.
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. Sanders earned 75.0-plus pass-rush and coverage grades in 2022.
