The quarterback play in Denver last season wasn’t exactly stellar and the Broncos finished the year at 6-10, and following the season were listed at 60-1 at Westgate to win next year’s Super Bowl.
So what did adding a former Super Bowl MVP do to those odds?
How the elite have fallen. According to oddsmakers, the addition of Joe Flacco to the Broncos doesn’t change their outlook even a bit.
Of course, public perception plays a major role in how odds are set.
