Super Bowl 2027 odds: Denver Broncos not heavily favored next season
The NFL’s 2026-27 season is now underway. In 2025-26, the Denver Broncos made it to the cusp of the Super Bowl. With all that success, you would think that their odds are pretty decent to make a run at the championship in 2026. The sportsbooks already have odds ready for fans who believe the Broncos are worth betting money on.
FanDuel has released their way-too-early Super Bowl 61 odds, and it sure feels like the Denver Broncos are getting disrespected here after winning the AFC West and having the league’s best record last season.
A quick look at the AFC West
Every offseason, the Los Angeles Chargers are the media darlings. 2027 will be no different, with the books saying they are the favorite to win the AFC West. Look for this story to have teeth until about week 10 when the wheels inevitably start falling off the Charger’s bus.
The question for Kansas City is whether or not Patrick Mahomes has enough of a fire lit under him to get back to work on being the best quarterback in the league, or if he’s instead going to keep whining to the refs about how they are getting it wrong when he’s throwing bad passes and his team lacks talent because of his ridiculous contract.
I’m not really sure how the Las Vegas Raiders got bumped up so many spots. Their franchise is an absolute dumpster fire that is literally going to lose one of the league’s best defenders in Maxx Crosby. Hopefully, they make that #1 draft pick count, and maybe they will end up the season better than six other NFL teams.
Why the Broncos look like a longer shot
Denver Broncos fans are looking forward to next season with good reason. The Broncos have one of the league’s best young starting quarterbacks. They have a stellar defense with Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph returning for another run. Given that the team will finally have cap room now that they are out from under that horrendous Russel Wilson contract, they will look to be movers and shakers in free agency. They also hold their full slate of draft picks this year with an extra 7th rounder to boot.
I honestly feel like the odds here for the Broncos feel pretty accurate for such an early prognosis. They will be playing a pretty tough first-place schedule next season. I don’t think the Chiefs will be nearly as big of pushovers as they were in 2026. I also do believe the Chargers got better by adding Mike McDaniel as the Offensive Coordinator.
I would have a hard time if I were a betting man laying money that the Broncos are going to the Super Bowl in 2027. At +2000, would you take that Super Bowl bet on the Broncos next season?

Denver Nuggets Altitude broadcasts now being offered in Spanish for first time ever
For the first time in the team’s history, Altitude Sports is broadcasting Denver Nuggets home games in Spanish. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment announced it has contracted a team to broadcast its games in Spanish for the playoffs.
“I think that is what the public wanted,” said Ivan De La Garza, producer for the broadcast team.
A team of three people, two commentators and a producer, sit in a press box at the top of Ball Arena. Their commentary is then synced with the traditional Altitude broadcast video and shared on the Altitude Plus application.
“With the Nuggets winning in the last five years, there is a tremendous amount of following from Latino people trying to listen to and watch the games in Spanish,” said Andres Casas, color commentator for the broadcast.
Casas said he strives to bring the same energy fans get during soccer broadcasts into the basketball broadcasts.
“That excitement that gets you. We want people to feel they are at the game,” Casas said.
“It has been so amazing to be a part of the Spanish broadcast for the Nuggets. I have been a fan of the Nuggets for my whole life,” said Jena Garcia, play-by-play commentator.
Garcia said it has been a dream come true to help bring this broadcast to her community.
“I’ve always desired to hear a Spanish broadcast, just as a fan. To be a part of it is just incredible,” Garcia said.
Those working in the broadcast said they are honored to help expand the reach of the Nuggets and sports in accessing diverse communities.
“We love sports. We are passionate, we are loud. We like to get together and enjoy sports,” De La Garza said.
“The Nuggets have a huge following, especially on the Spanish side. So, it is great for them to be able to listen to what is going on, game by game, especially into the playoffs,” Casas said.
“It is just another step of access that they are getting to be a fan of basketball,” Garcia said.
