Tips for Betting on Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are in a state of transition. After the retirement of Peyton Manning in 2016, the Broncos have not made the playoffs and 2018 marked the first time since 1971-1972 that they’ve had two consecutive losing seasons.

The Broncos offense finished 24th in points per game and didn’t put up more than 24 points in any game after week seven. Their once-vaunted defense has declined in recent years, but still finished a respectable 12th in points per game while Von Miller and Bradley Chubb both produced double-digit sack seasons.

The Broncos made some major changes in the offseason, notably acquiring former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Joe Flacco, and hiring Vic Fangio as their new head coach. Fangio ran the Chicago Bears defense last season, which finished number in points per game. Fangio will need to get the most out of his new defense in Denver, as the offense looks to be short on weapons at nearly every position.

The Broncos had a tough time covering point spreads last season, and even harder time trying to hit overs. They were, by far and away, the league’s worst team hitting overs, only accomplishing the feat in three of their 16 regular-season games.

They ended the season without hitting an over in nine straight games. New QB Joe Flacco will look to get his career back on track in Denver but will need to do so without any elite playmakers currently at RB, WR, or TE. The Broncos will need to contend with the Chiefs and Chargers in the AFC West, two of the league’s best teams.

Here are a few valuable betting statistics to consider:

• The Broncos finished sixth last in the league vs. the spread last season, going 6-9-1, finishing the year with a 40.0 cover percentage.
• The Broncos were the worst team in the league on hitting overs last season, or conversely, the most consistent under bet in the league. 13 of their 16 games were under the point total in 2018.
• The Broncos are expected to be underdogs in nearly every game this season. Their stingy defense could make them a popular cover pick, despite their poor cover percentage last season.

The Broncos are coming off their first consecutive losing seasons since the 1970s and judging by the betting lines, oddsmakers think they’ll make it three in a row. However, with two of the league’s best pass rushers and a brand new defense-first Head Coach, the Broncos are still worth keeping an eye on.

Local Broncos fans living in Colorado cannot yet make legal sports bets but there is an overall air of optimism and expectation that it is on the horizon.

• Colorado’s state attorney general has already publicly voiced his opinion that legalized sports gambling can be achieved.
• The change would be made without having to make any amendments to the state constitution but rather a statute that would both simplify and expedite the process.
• The most optimistic predictions see legal Colorado sports betting becoming a reality in 2019 or 2020.
