So you’re saying there’s a chance.
The Broncos have the 19th best odds among NFL teams to win Super Bowl 53, according to an oddsmaker. Bovada gave Denver 45-to-1 odds to win the Lombardi Trophy this year, well behind the favorite New England Patriots (11/2) and defending champion Philadelphia Eagles (17/2). That’s nearly double of the 25-to-1 odds they received after signing quarterback Case Keenum in March.
The Broncos are tied for third with the Raiders to win the AFC West at 15-to-4, behind the Chargers (7/5) and Chiefs (11/4). Denver (16/1) is also 10th out of 16 to win the AFC. The Patriots (3/1) lead the way.
Bovada also projects seven wins for the Broncos this year. The Patriots are No. 1 at 11, while the Cardinals and the Browns share the gutter with five apiece.
