NFL odds numbers are really all that matter to gamblers that wager on the NFL. A team can have a winning record straight up but if they don’t have a winning record against the NFL lines it means nothing. One team that fits that description is the Denver Broncos. NFL odds numbers have the Broncos as one of the worst teams in the NFL even though they have a winning record straight up.
Through 11 games the Broncos were 6-5 straight up but 3-7-1 against the NFL lines. That pretty much guarantees Denver another losing record against the NFL odds. Mike Shanahan’s teams seem to get a lot more respect in the NFL lines than they deserve, especially at home. Denver has had an exciting offense in recent seasons with quarterback Jay Cutler but their defense has been awful. Anytime you are wagering on NFL odds you really have to worry if you are betting on a team that can’t stop their opponent.
