DENVER — The Denver Broncos‘ 2025 schedule is here.

And as one source in the Broncos’ building put it, it’s “beautiful.”

Four primetime games, a trip to London and a rivalry game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas night are a few of the highlights of the Broncos’ 17-game schedule.

But will it lead to back-to-back playoff trips for the Broncos? Let’s dive into that in my game-by-game predictions right as the 2025 NFL schedule is unveiled.

Broncos’ 2025 Schedule

Week 1: vs Titans, Sept. 7, 2:05 pm, FOX

• WIN
  • What a terrible way for Cam Ward to start his NFL career. The Broncos’ defense should feast to start the season.

Week 2: @ Colts, Sept. 14, 2:05 pm, CBS

• WIN
  • Will Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones be the Colts’ starting quarterback in this game? It doesn’t matter, Denver’s defense will roll once again. The schedule makers gave the Broncos an easy 2-0 start.

Week 3: @ Chargers, Sept. 21, 2:05 pm, CBS

• LOSS
  • Jim Harbaugh has Sean Payton‘s number as the Chargers extend their winning streak to three against the Broncos and hand Denver their first loss of the season.

Week 4: vs Bengals (Monday Night Football), Sept. 29, 6:15 pm, ABS

• WIN
  • Bo went toe to toe with Joe Burrow as a rookie last year on the road. This time, the Broncos get it done in an epic game in the Mile High City.

Week 5: @ Eagles, Oct. 5, 11 am, CBS

• LOSS
  • Denver’s second loss comes against the defending Super Bowl champions in Philadelphia. No shame in that.

Week 6: vs Jets (In London), Oct. 12, 7:30 am, NFL Network

• WIN
  • The last time the Broncos were in London, Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson were able to find a win. Payton and Nix will have no issues doing that against a bad New York Jets team.

Week 7: vs Giants, Oct. 19, 2:05 pm, CBS

• WIN
  • Russell Wilson might have lost the starting job by this point in the season. But let’s hope not. Payton gets the victory squaring off against his former quarterback.

Week 8: vs Cowboys, Oct. 26, 2:25 pm, CBS

• WIN
  • This game isn’t a gimme. But because the Broncos are at home, they take care of Dak Prescott.

Week 9: @ Texans, Nov. 2, 11 am, FOX

• LOSS
  • This is a game I think the Broncos will win and want to pick them to win. But there are always one or two games that an NFL team should win and they lose. This is one of them. C.J. Stroud is a good quarterback and coupled with the early start, the Broncos are thrown off enough to where they drop this one. But I wouldn’t be surprised for a second if Denver took this one.

Week 10: vs Raiders (Thursday Night Football), Nov. 6, 6:15 pm, Prime Video

• WIN
  • A home primetime game against the Raiders calls for the throwback uniforms to be worn. Denver was undefeated last year in the old-school uniforms and remains undefeated.

Week 11: vs Chiefs, Nov. 16, 2:25 pm, CBS

• LOSS
  • Andy Reid was not pleased with how the Broncos beat down the Chiefs to end the season last year, despite Kansas City resting their starters. They get the best of the Broncos in Denver.

Week 12: BYE WEEK

• Easiest week on the schedule… outside, of course, Week 1 against the Titans.

Week 13: @ Commanders (Sunday Night Football), Nov. 30, 6:20 pm, NBC

• LOSS
  • This game deserves Sunday Night Football and it gets it. Bo Nix vs Jayden Daniels. The rookie sensations battle it out near the end of their sophomore seasons. I give this one to the home team, which happens to be the Commanders.

Week 14: @ Raiders, Dec. 7, 2:05 pm, CBS

• WIN
  • The Broncos sweep the Raiders on the season and extend their win-streak against them to four.

Week 15: vs Packers, Dec. 14, 2:25 pm, CBS

• WIN
  • I’m not sold on Jordan Love and the Packers. At home, the Broncos take care of business.

Week 16: vs Jaguars, Dec. 21, 2:05 pm, FOX

• WIN
  • The story entering this game will be Travis Hunter returning to Colorado. The story coming out of his game will be how next week’s game will be for the division title.

Week 17: @ Chiefs (Thursday Night Football on Christmas), Dec. 25, 6:15 pm, Prime Video

• WIN
  • Merry Christmas, Broncos Country. For the first time since Peyton Manning was the quarterback and Bradley Roby had a game-winning fumble returned for a touchdown, the Broncos get a win at Arrowhead. A Christmas miracle that gives Denver the lead on the AFC West heading into the final week of the season.

Week 18: vs Chargers, TBD

• WIN
  • The Broncos snap their three-game losing streak to the Chargers and clinch the AFC West for the first time 2015. Bo Nix tops Justin Herbert in a battle of the Oregon QBs. Denver is heading to the playoffs for a second-straight season.

Final record prediction: 12-5

• Bo Nix proves he’s the truth in his second season. Vance Joseph gets a head coaching job after Denver’s playoff run as the Broncos’ defense proves they’re the best in the NFL.
