The money is heavily favoring the Broncos this early on, but that’s not always a good indicator of success.
William Hill also released their division futures for the AFC West. Obviously, like everyone else, they have the Los Angeles Chargers as the team to beat, but the Kansas City Chiefs at 7/2 and the Denver Broncos at 5/1 are interesting. Most of the money has been wagered on the Chargers, but the Broncos are strong in that category as well.
What all this really means and the reason behind this post is that betting odds can only mean one thing ... real live football is coming up fast!
