Denver's W-L is listed in Vegas at 7.5 wins. To me that is a given that they will get 10 wins so 8 wins should be no problem. Anyway, I put $500 down on this. However, many other people feel the same way I do and I get a -180 on my bet. So if the Broncos win 8 or more games I actually only win $278 plus my $500 of course.

I look at it like it's easy money and it will add a little something to this season for me.

For all the Bronco haters out there You can clean up if Denver wins less than 8 games.

After looking at thoughs odds, although denver looks good I think your best bet is the vikes! I have them winning 11 this year. Teams they play twice are
the bear which are a mess right now, Green bay rookie qb and I think the lions which have a new offense sheem. Thats were I would put my money

Eh, he probably doesn't know the Vikes as well as he knows the Broncos, hence his wise investment. The NFCN is in flux with the possible emergence of the Vikes (based entirely on Tavaras Jackson's development) and the Lions (who the hell knows about this team, could they all of a sudden come out of no where, why not?) and the Packers who are a good team with a relative unknown at QB. As for the Bears, again, it depends on the QB position, does Grossman produce, or does Orten come out on top?

Talk about an unpredictable division...

At least we know alot more about the AFCW and the Broncos schedule.

I don't really like gambling on the Broncos. Having duckets down on the game doesn't enhance the experience like it does in other games that I am less passionate about.

Also a little superstitious I guess.

I had a 6 team parley, a round-robin three way and a significant moneyline bet that would have given me some serious, serious money back in grad school when I was basically living off of gambling money and school grants\loans.

I won everything that week. The last game in all those bets was the Chiefs\Broncos Monday nighter. That was the game that Elway led his comeback and scored with ~2min. I was celebrating like crazy..spending the money in my head....then Montana ripped it all away from me.

Last time I bet real money on the Broncos. It is hard for me to be objective when evaluating gambling on the Broncos.

Yea, and if he really thinks the Broncos are a lock to win 10, he probably could have gotten o9.5 for at least +200. Amateur betters ftl.

Yes, but betting Denver over 9 would have been gambling. Denver over 7 isn't gambling, it's stealing.

I dont know, thats a low risk bet but Vegas usually isnt off by 3 games as you are predicting.

8 is doable but Id be surprised if we got 10 wins this year. I mean, its possible but Id just be very surprised.

You think they will finish 8-8 or higher? Unless the Offense gets back on track and I mean Raiders game back on track I worry.

Half the field was shut down with Champ. Now Karl Paymah is starting. Teams won't be able to just own Bly anymore. Now the whole field is their playground.

I hope for Atlas' sake I am dead wrong.
