In our weekly survey, Denver Broncos fans think the team will have a good October and come out at the midway point of the season above .500.
In our weekly survey, I asked fans what they think the Denver Broncos record would be after the month of October. Their schedule this month is technically ‘soft’ on paper with three home games against teams that have not played well to start the season. This is a prime opportunity for Denver to change the narrative.
Most fans think they’ll do well and come out of October with a 5-3 record. That means they’ll need to win three of their next four games.
They play the Las Vegas Raiders (2-2), Los Angeles Chargers (2-2), and the Carolina Panthers (1-3) at home this month with a Thursday Night Game on the road against the New Orleans Saints (2-2). All are winnable games, but I would bet most fans here believed the one loss would that road game on TNF as that will be a tough place to pull out a win.
3-1 seems very doable, but a strong minority think they’ll split those games and come out of the month at .500 once again. Given there are three home games, I’m looking for this team to assert itself at home more than anything. Their record in Denver since 2017 has been abysmal compared to the rests of their history. That needs to change.
After of Week 1, fans were overall very confident that the Broncos were heading in the right direction with 92% voting that way. Naturally, that confidence dipped heavily after they started 0-2, but it has now bounced back with a vengeance to 94% after back-to-back road wins featuring an unexpectedly dominant defense.
That score marks the highest of the year and now Denver takes their game back home for the next two weeks to take on AFC West rivals. If they can win their next two games, the Broncos will be in strong position to make some waves in the second half of the season. They must take care of business first and ending that eight-game losing streak to the hated Raiders is that first order of business that needs taking care of.
