While it may seem like it’s been a few years since the Denver Broncos were relevant, the franchise has generally been one of the NFL’s most successful.
The Broncos have made eight Super Bowls since 1978, winning three of them. The most recent was with Peyton Manning in 2016, as Denver beat Cam Newton’s Carolina Panthers, 24-10, in Super Bowl 50.
But the Broncos have finished under .500 in every season since that Super Bowl win … and Vegas oddsmakers don’t have high expectations this season after Denver cut Russell Wilson.
The Broncos currently have 120-1 odds to win next year’s Super Bowl at DraftKings Sportsbook, better than only the Tennessee Titans (150-1), New England Patriots (150-1) and Carolina Panthers (300-1).
But worse for the Broncos is that the 120-1 odds represent their worst preseason Super Bowl odds ever as a franchise, according to the Sports Odds History database (which goes back to 1977).
It could be a long season in the Mile High City.
