Broncos Bet
Worse met worst for the Denver Broncos before the 2020 season even began. Star tackle Ju’Wan Johnson announced he was opting out of the season over health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic and oneday before the season was to begin, Von Miller was lost to an ACL tear. Star receiver Courtland Sutton was lost to injury in Week 2 and the Broncos fell to a flat 5-11. With their disastrous season firmly behind them (which included a game with zero active quarterbacks on their roster), Denver is looking to the future.

It’s clear Drew Lock is the guy for at least another season, but there’s plenty of pieces that need to be upgraded. Without Miller, the Broncos were unable to create turnovers and finished the season last in turnover differential. As some of their key pieces continue to age (Miller included), the Broncos are looking to make the playoffs now. In order to do that, they will need to make some drastic moves, especially given the young powerhouse state of the AFC.

Broncos prop bets
Prop bets are based on individual performance, typically surrounding players. Noah Fant was a popular target for prop betting this past season as the young tight end continued to emerge. In the Broncos’ Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, Fant had a projected receiving total of 35.5 yards. That game, he hauled in a team-leading 81 yards, giving those who bet the over on his receiving prop the win.

Broncos futures odds
Futures are long-term bets that can range from an offseason to a full season (or beyond). Team win totals, award winners, and player performance are common futures. For example:
2020 Odds to win NFL DROY
- Chase Young -110
- Patrick Queen +450
- Kenneth Murray +1000
- Jaylon Johnson +1500
This line for the Defensive Rookie of the Year would often be bet before the season starts. Futures allow for bettors to capitalize on players they think are favorites to win awards long before the odds shift away from their favor. For example, Queen opened with odds of +900 to win the DROY award after the NFL Draft; his odds will shift as the season develops based on his performance for the Ravens defense.
Broncos Super Bowl LVI odds
The Denver Broncos opened with +6000 odds to win Super Bowl LVI. Those odds are worst in the AFC West and are likely derived from question marks at the quarterback position combined with an underperformance in 2020.

How to bet on the Denver Broncos
Moneyline
The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:
- Broncos +310
- Packers -185
The Broncos are considered heavy underdogs in this matchup (indicated by +310), paying out $410 total for a $100 bet ($310 in winnings). The Packers are the underdog in this matchup, requiring a $185 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.
Point spread
Betting on the point spread is determinant on how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:
- Broncos +6.5 (-110)
- Buccaneers -6.5 (-110)
Chiefs Broncos Betting Line
In this example, Tampa Bay is favored by 6.5 points, indicated by “-6.5.” If the Bucs win the game 27-20, the Bucs (-6.5) win the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Broncos keep the game within seven and lose 23-17, the Broncos (+6.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.
Point total (over/under)
The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, the Broncos’ Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins had a projected point total of 43.5 points. Denver won that game 20-13, resulting in just 33 points. Those who bet under the point total that game would have cashed out.
The Broncos often struggled offensively in 2020, giving their games a lower projected point total. Typical Broncos games say over/unders between 42 and 46 points, sometimes dipping as low as 39 points. Moving forward to 2021 should see a similar trend in projected point totals barring an unforeseen emergence of Drew Lock.
In-play and live betting
Sometimes, the most thrilling and rewarding bets are bets made while games are being played. These are referred to as live bets or in-play bets. Odds are ever-changing during games, which would prove to be fruitful for sharp and prepared bettors. For example, if the Broncos (-205) were heavily favored against the Falcons (+140) before kickoff, a payout on a $10 bet on the Broncos to win would win just $4.88.
However, say the Broncos fell to a big 17-3 deficit in the first half despite controlling the overall game (due to a costly turnover or special teams gaffe). Odds may swing in favor of the Falcons, who may be a -110 favorite at halftime. Taking the Broncos to come back and win the game could present plus-odds (say, +130). Should a bettor take Denver (+130) at halftime and the Broncos pull off the comeback, winners would win $13 instead of $4.88 (plus the initial $10 bet).
This could also be an effective way to “hedge” your bet; say a bettor took the Falcons (+140) in that game, but Denver jumps out to a 16-0 first quarter lead and is controlling the overall feel of the game, bettors could hedge by throwing some money down on Denver (-255) to return some of the inevitably-lost bet.
Parlays and teasers
You can always string bets together in the form of parlays or teasers. Usually during busy Sundays, bettors can parlay several teams to win or cover against the spread and if all bets are successful, the payouts are multiplied. Teasers function similarly, except they allow bettors to move each point spread to a more favorable line in exchange for diminished odds.
Broncos 2020 recap
Record: 5-11
Record ATS: 9-7
Over/under record: 8-8
A strong defense wasn’t enough to overcome an offense that, at times, looked completely incompetent. It wasn’t always Denver’s fault– at one point, they had no active quarterbacks on their roster due to COVID-19 contact tracing and they had to promote a practice squad receiver to play the position. However, even when Lock was behind center, he proved to be mistake prone and occasionally incapable of moving the football.
The Broncos were able to keep themselves in games compared to what oddsmakers projected often thanks to their sturdy defense and methodical way of moving the ball. Their first two games saw Denver covering the spread (against Tennessee and Pittsburgh) and they were even able to upset the Dolphins outright.
Broncos 2021 offseason moves
Key free agents: A.J. Bouye (CB), Elijah Wilkinson (LT), Tim Patrick (WR), Alexander Johnson (LB)
Draft pick position needs: CB, EDGE, LB, QB
Fortunately, not a ton of players who saw significant playing time in 2020 are due for free agency. Unfortunately, A.J. Bouye and Justin Simmons are due their money and Bouye is serving a six-game suspension, making his contract situation a tricky one. Further, it’s rumored that Von Miller will not be returning to the team despite not being a free agent this season to an alleged domestic altercation that’s been kept mostly quiet among league news. Johnson seems like a must-keep and Tim Patrick emerged into a young star this past year.
With Miller potentially on his way out and Bouye carrying such a high price tag, the Broncos will be looking to defenders early in the draft. At the ninth pick, Denver should have their pick of a pair of ridiculously talented corners in Virginia Tech’s Caleb Farley and Alabama’s Patrick Surtain II. Quarterback might be a position addressed later in the draft, as patience seems to be running thin on Lock.
The Denver Broncos (5-8) kick off a Saturday NFL doubleheader by hosting the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills (10-3). Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET at Empower Field at Mile High. Below, we highlight five player/team prop bet predictions for the Broncos in Week 15.

Denver Broncos Week 15 prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:40 a.m. ET.
Broncos OVER 0.5 points in the 1st quarter (-210)
Even though the Broncos are averaging only 3.4 first-quarter points per game (29th in the league) and the Bills are permitting only 3.3 (second-fewest), it’s hard to pass on this prop.
Not counting the Week 12 quarterback-less fiasco when Denver managed only a season-low three points all game, the Broncos have been shut out only three times in the first quarter of their other 12 contests.
Bank on at least a field goal in the first quarter Saturday.
First half game total UNDER 24.5 points (-118)
In spite of our first prop recommendation, we foresee something far less than a shootout in the opening 30 minutes.
The Broncos are averaging the second-fewest first-half points in the league (8.2) while the Bills allow the fewest on average (9.1).
Putting those two together puts the Broncos at 8.7, and doing the same for the Bills’ first-half offensive (14.8 PPG) and the Broncos’ defensive (13.4) averages puts Buffalo at 14.1.
Combined, that’s a total of 22.8 points, and with 1.7 points of leeway on the projected total of 24.5, why not take a shot at the first half Under?

RB Melvin Gordon OVER 12.5 rushing attempts (-118)
The Broncos seemed to have settled on a more-rushing, less-passing offensive formula over the last four games as they’ve averaged 32.3 rushing attempts per contest over that span. By comparison, Denver averaged an even 25 rushes per game over its first nine contests.
As the Broncos’ lead back, Gordon has accounted for 45.8% of the team’s rushing attempt on the season. He has averaged 13.8 carries per contest during the just-mentioned four-game span of rushing uptick, and he’s looked the best he has all season as well, averaging 78.5 rushing yards per outing and 5.71 yards per carry.
With Denver surely desiring to keep Bills QB Josh Allen and the high-powered Bills’ attack (ninth with 27.6 points per game) on the sideline, look for the Broncos to rely heavily on the surging Gordon Saturday.
TE Noah Fant OVER 36.5 receiving yards (-112)
Fant missed Sunday’s 32-27 win over the Carolina Panthers with a non-COVID-19 illness, and with it, he likely missed a chance to be a featured pass-catcher.
Along with 30 rushing attempts in the win, the Broncos featured a noticeably condensed passing game with 14 of QB Drew Lock‘s 26 targets going to tight ends and running backs. Reserve TEs Nick Vannett and Troy Fumagalli combined for 9 targets, 8 receptions (4 apiece) and 73 yards.
In 11 games this season, Fant has had at least 38 receiving yards eight times.
Then there’s the Buffalo defense, which is allowing an average of 64.1 receiving yards per game to opposing tight ends — the second-highest mark in the league.
All that considered, gotta roll with the Over for Fant.
Worth a (long) shot: Fant to score a TD (+240) and/or score Broncos’ first TD (+800)
Odds On Broncos Game Today
Fant hasn’t found the end zone since Week 2 and is stuck on two TDs for the season.
Given the expected usage just detailed above, we’ll take a shot on Fant ending that drought Saturday with a couple of different TD props to choose from.
