Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis shared a chart about strength of schedule, past and present. Though his post on X was more about the Minnesota Vikings, every team is included on the chart and it's worth talking about the Broncos.
Here is a complete look at the Week 8 coverage map, including a list of which games air in the largest American TV markets.
After going 10-7 and reaching the NFL playoffs last season, the Broncos have five nationally-televised games on their 2025 schedule. Denver will be featured on Sunday Night Football , Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football this fall.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model is on a sizzling 43-28 run on top-rated picks dating back to 2024. Anybody following its NFL betting picks at sportsbooks and on betting sites could have seen strong returns.
Through seven weeks, the Broncos rank 14th overall at 3.8 percent. The Broncos rank 19th in offense (-2.7 percent), eighth overall in defense (-7.5 percent), and 20th overall in special teams (-1.0 percent). Again, DVOA is better for defense when it's negative.
Last year, the Broncos went 10-7 in coach Sean Payton's second season, reaching the NFL playoffs for the first time since the team won Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 campaign. Payton will now attempt to get his squad back to the playoffs -- and he has aspirations to go much further than the Wild Card round this time.
While Oregon got back on track, Wisconsin continued its slide with a 34-0 loss to No. 1 Ohio State. The Badgers began the season 2-0 but have lost five consecutive games, including a 0-4 stretch in Big Ten play.
