Broncos' Super Bowl LVI possibilities boost considerably after NFL draft weekend break

This is an interesting post by Joe Nguyen from The Denver Post discussing some important happenings for the week. Joe Nguyen recently posted this and I thought it was worth posting here.

The Broncos are getting some love from oddsmakers after the NFL draft weekend.

Denver has +2,000 odds — meaning a $100 would win $2,000 — to win Super Bowl LVI, according to BetMGM. It’s the ninth-best shot to win the Lombardi Trophy. It’s steep rise from the +6,600 odds (24th-best odds) the Broncos had after Super Bowl LV ended in February. Kansas City is the favorite at +500, followed by the Buccaneers (+800).

The Broncos have the second-best odds to win a championship among Denver’s big four teams, behind the Avalanche (+450) and ahead of the Nuggets (+2,500) and Rockies (+20,000), according to BetMGM.

The Broncos also received the same odds from sportsbetting.com, improving from +5,000 they had in February. It’s also +2,000 on the William Hill sports book.

Denver has +2,400 on the Fanduel Sportsbook, ranking 10th among NFL teams, and +2,500 on the Draftkings Sportsbook, tied with Dallas and Seattle for ninth.

Meanwhile, to punch a ticket to the big game, Denver has +700 odds to win the AFC championship, according to sportsbetting.com. The odds are slightly worse on Fanduel where the Broncos are +1,200.

One reason for the Broncos’ climb may be the speculation that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is seeking a trade and Denver is a possible destination. Sportsbetting.com seems to think so, putting the 37-year-old QB at +250 to be traded to the Mile High City by Sept. 9. The Broncos are the favorites ahead of the Raiders (+700), Dolphins (+1,000), Browns (+1,200) and Saints (+1,200).
