At the onset, the Denver Broncos had high Pro Football Betting hopes for the 2023 season. Hiring head coach Sean Payton was seen as the perfect remedy for QB Russell Wilson. After flopping out of the gate, Denver has improved, including a big home win over their arch-nemesis Kansas City Chiefs. In like manner, the Minnesota Vikings were a popular future market ticket that fell on its face at the start. Minnesota has had a nice recovery to get back into the postseason race.
