The 2025 Broncos Schedule

[iknowftbll]

With the draft behind us, the next big off season conversation starter will be the schedule. The NFL will be releasing the schedule May 14th, and we'll probably have a few leaks before then.

Here's what we already know.

Home:
Chiefs
Chargers
Raiders
Jaguars
Titans
Cowboys
Giants
Bengals
Packers

Away:
Chiefs
Chargers
Raiders
Texans
Colts
Eagles
Commanders
Jets

Some random thoughts...

Just looking at the slate of opponents with no additional context, I think it looks like it's going to be a tough year for this up and coming team. I also think this up and coming team is capable of matching or improving on last year's mark of 10 wins. But I'll get to that after the actual schedule is out.

I am hearing rumors the Broncos will be featured in one of the league's overseas games. If they do I prefer it be as the visiting team, though a simple search indicates the possibility of hosting a game in Mexico City. If that is the case, I would expect the Cowboys or Raiders to be the opponent and prefer it to be the Cowboys since I would hate to see the team agree to depriving Denver of Raiders week!

After Bo Nix elevated the team and proved a lot of prognosticators wrong, I suspect the Broncos will get a couple prime time nods this year, possibly against the Commanders or Bengals. They're not quite a compelling enough draw to pair them up with the Eagles. The Packers are another interesting potential prime time opponent with a solid young QB, and the lore of one of the league's greatest brands. The Packers and Broncos on MNF would be a fantastic draw. And of course, any prime time slot featuring the Broncos could potentially be a tilt with one of their AFC West rivals.

I have a bad feeling we're going to get a week 5 bye. I don't know why, I just don't trust this league to apply any kind of common sense in their scheduling. I could write volumes of content on what the league can do to improve competitive parity in the bye week scheduling, but nobody will listen so I'll just leave it alone and hope for the best here.

If I could pick a single game I'd like to see the Broncos play in week 1 it would be @ Chiefs. I say this because most years week 1 is a crap shoot and weird things happen. I think week 1 gives the Broncos their best chance to go on the road and pull an upset.

If I could pick a single game to see the Broncos wrap up the season on, I'd pick vs Raiders. I say this because despite the Raiders looking poised to be a vastly improved franchise and team on the field, I still consider them the weakest of the 3 AFC West rivals. From where I sit now, I think they are the least likely to be playing for a playoff spot in week 18 while the Broncos may be jockeying for seeding.

Team I want to play coming out of our bye: Any of our AFC West rivals. Short of them, any of the heavyweights on the schedule. I really don't want our extra week to prepare to come before a Titans, Giants, Jaguars type opponent. Though I know you can't look past anyone in the NFL, I'd really like to see the Broncos get that extra time for one of their rivals or the Eagles, Packers, etc.

That's it from me for now. Anyone have anything to add? I can't wait to see the schedule!

I expect 5 primetime games and an international one as well. How about NYG week 1? I 1000% bet Washington game will be Monday Night Football

I prefer one of our tougher opponents in week 1, but nobody is going to ask me so I guess this one is as good as any.

Wow. That's a whole lot of scheduling thoughts! I also expect the Broncos to get some prime time love this year. Sean Payton and Bo Nix have revived the franchise from the dead and a competitive Broncos team is good TV. I don't mind the international games, as long as the Broncos are the visitors and I think the last several times it's occurred, that was the case. Given that fact, I expect that they'll be the home team this time around. Hate losing a home game in Denver. I'm hoping to attend the home game against the Cowboys.

Denver @ Washington week 1
Bengals @ Denver
Titans @ Denver two young QB's
Raiders @ Denver we play them earliest usually

 

[Draft Crazy]

The leaked rumor for the overseas game is the Colts which would be a road game for us.

Still sucks for me though being somewhat close to Indianapolis my plan was to go to that game. Oh well.

I like playing teams early with a young QB or rebuilding/new QB. Chemistry/development glitches.

I have heard that we are going to play Colts in Germany and that the Broncos asked for that with the league.

I can definitely see this. Whatever the case, an upset against a “better” team or a chance to gel, I just hope they send a message early.

Broncos coming to DC, DC! I may have to attend that one.
