NFL Football Wagering - 2008 Denver Broncos Regular Season Win Total Odds
The Denver Broncos, (7-9 SU, 5-11 ATS, 11-4-1 O/U) recorded a dismal 7-9 regular season record in the BetUS Sportsbook in 2007 while missing the postseason for the second consecutive year under longtime head coach Mike Shanahan.
To avoid the first three-season playoff drought in his career, Shanahan will have to get his Broncos off to a good start, the BetUS online NFL sports wagering population that likes to wager on NFL football, should know that accomplishing their task could be much easier said than done with several tough contests to open the 2008 regular season.
Here is a look at the Broncos’ 2008 schedule, followed by my brief selection on each contest and overall analysis:
09/08/08 @Oakland Raiders
The Raiders start their 2008 season off with a win against their longtime rivals. Loss
09/14/08 San Diego Chargers
Denver bounces back with a big AFC West victory here. Win
09/21/08 New Orleans Saints
I like the Saints a lot, but the Broncos win this contest. Win
09/28/08 @ Kansas City Chiefs
Take the Chiefs to win here at home, though they are not the better team. Loss

Something tells me the Jags are headed to the AFC title game this season. Loss

Broncos Regular Season Wins
Over 7½ Regular Season Wins -170
Under 7½ Regular Season Wins +130
Analysis: I’ve got the broncos going 10-6 in 2008 and while I will admit that may be just a tad high, I think Denver is one of the best NFL season win total bets in the BetUS Sportsbook NFL Futures section and will definitely go ‘Over’ the low, 7½-win total that oddsmakers have set for the Broncos.
