Good morning, and Happy Mother’s Day, Broncos Country!
The Denver Broncos are coming off their best season in a decade.
They were an injured Bo Nix away from, likely, playing in the Super Bowl. Now, Denver is returning just about everyone on both sides of the ball, and it seems like Nix and the Broncos are a team set to shock people again.
The current win total for Denver at FanDuel Sportsbook is 9.5 wins. Despite the -110 odds on the over, it seems like a great bet.
And Kay Adams agrees.
Earlier this week on her show, Up and Adams, she heaped heavy praise on the Broncos.
“They’re returning all their starters on offense, all of them. Jaylen Waddle, huge add, in the mix. I don’t think we’ve seen what he can do. I don’t think we’ve quite seen him cook the way that he can. And now that he’s got Sean Payton dialing stuff up. He’s not calling plays, at least to start the year, but he’s definitely in the lab, figuring out how to use him, and so on.
“They have 10 of 11 starters back on defense, and all they’ve done is just get deeper and deeper across the board, and I’ve said it before, this is the most complete roster, top to bottom, in the NFL. Give me the reason why this team isn’t winning 10 games?”
Yes, Denver won a lot of one-score games last season. Yes, it took some late-game heroics to win some of those games.
But as Adams said, the Broncos are basically returning every player from last year’s roster that went 14-3, won the AFC West, was the AFC No. 1 seed, and hosted the AFC Championship Game. Yet somehow this team is worse?
There’s a lot of time between now and the regular season. There are some questions, maybe, but I think Denver will be just as good, if not better than it was last season.
