Now that free agency is pretty much finished, the Broncos odds for 2025 are set. It’s a dramatic difference from 2024.
Good morning, Broncos Country!
The expectations are on the rise for the Denver Broncos.
There is no better indication of that than the current Broncos odds. Where they sit now compared to even last season is a dramatic difference.
At most legal sportsbooks, the total wins are over/under 9.5. At FanDuel, there’s a slight lean toward the under at -145. The over is currently +125. Last season, Denver’s wins were set at 5.5. Obviously, the Broncos went well above that number, finishing 10-7.
Based on last season’s performance, Denver is expected to be even better in 2025. So, there’s decent value in betting the over.
As for futures odds, the most intriguing involving the Broncos is to win the AFC West. Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs are the favorite at -120. They’re followed by the Los Angeles Chargers at +320 and the Broncos at +360. Clearly, anything and everything would have to go right for Denver to win the division this coming season, but it’s not out of the question. It’s the next step for this franchise, especially after making the NFL playoffs last season. And given the value the bet brings, it’s worth the gamble, pardon the pun.
The Broncos are currently tied with the Chargers for the sixth-shortest odds to win the AFC at +1,500. The Baltimore Ravens are the favorites at +350, followed by the Buffalo Bills (+360), Chiefs (+410), Cincinnati Bengals (+950), and Houston Texans (+1,400).
In the NFC, the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are the favorites at +300, followed by the Detroit Lions (+500), Los Angeles Rams (+850), Washington Commanders (+950), and the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers (+1,100).
As for the Super Bowl odds, the Eagles are the favorites at +600, followed by the Ravens (+700), Bills (+750), Chiefs (+800), Lions (+1,000), and Rams (+1,800). Denver is at +3,200 to win the Super Bowl.
In terms of NFL awards, current NFL Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II is +4,000 to win it again. It’s highly unlikely that Surtain will win the award in back-to-back seasons. The most intriguing awards market is NFL Coach of the Year. If the Broncos were to unseat Kansas City as AFC champs, Payton would have to get serious consideration for the award. Payton is +2,500 to win Coach of the Year.
Ben Johnson with the Chicago Bears is the favorite at +650, followed by Mike Vrabel with the New England Patriots and Liam Coen with the Jacksonville Jaguars (+1,000), and Mike Macdonald with the Seattle Seahawks and Dave Canales of the Carolina Panthers at (+1,200).
