NFL Pro Football Futures Betting - Buck the Broncos
BetUS Sportsbook
has those Super Bowl odds up again and
there's much more. Go to BetUS for odds
on each of the league's eight divisions,
as well as Rookie of the Year and regular
season win props. One team that is looking
to prove it isn't a one-team race in the
AFC West is the Denver Broncos (7-9 SU,
5-11 ATS last year), who have not reached
the Super Bowl since John Elway was calling
the signals. Can somebody like Jay Cutler
take them to the promise land? We'll examine
that today.
First let's look
at the NFL football betting odds to win
the AFC and AFC West divisions, as they
appear in BetUS Sportsbook:

Jay Cutler's performance
down the stretch last year was discouraging
for Denver fans, even though he threw 12
TD's and just six interceptions in the
second half of the season.

But Cutler was diagnosed with diabetes,
and now he has had an opportunity to get
a handle in it. With 63.6% completions and
20 touchdowns in 2007, Cutler offered enough
hope that he is indeed the quarterback to
take Denver into the future. He's got at
least on reliable target in Brandon Marshall,
who had 102 receptions for 1325 yards last
year. Darrell Jackson was added to the receiving
corps, but he was a big disappointment in
San Francisco last season.
Just a couple of days ago, Denver cut troubled
running back Travis Henry. They had already
signed Michael Pittman. Offensive line coach
Alex Gibbs, widely credited with making the
Bronco running game go, left for Houston.
The O-Line is aging, and may have to break
in a new member in first-round draft choice
Ryan Clady. Clearly there are question marks
all around.
And an even bigger question mark than that
involves the defensive line, which was 30th
in the NFL in stopping the run last year.
Defensive tackle Dwayne Robertson has cone
over from the Jets, but there were not enough
personnel moves made to upgrade what promises
to be a rather lackluster unit. Elvis Dumervil
is a standout at defensive end, but he is
somewhat singular on this team as far as
the pass rushing department. John Lynch and
Dre Bly are in the secondary, but how long
can they actually go? This is quite a comedown
from the 2006 season, when the Broncos looked
like they were going to be almost impossible
to score in the early part of the schedule
(44 points allowed in the first six games).
Long-time kicker Jason Elam, a fixture in
the Mile High City, declared free agency
and went to Atlanta. Punter Todd Sauerbrun
is gone too. Denver is going to suffer on
special teams until truly reliable replacements
can be found.
We have faith in Mike Shanahan, although
his two Super Bowl titles can't earn him
a pass forever. It is somewhat optimistic
to think that Denver will be right in the
mix to win the division. Indeed, it will
be a struggle just to get to the .500 mark.
JAY'S PREDICTION
FOR 2008:
Denver Broncos -- 8-8, 2nd place, AFC West
(+400 to win AFC West, +2000 to win AFC, +4500 to win Super Bowl)
