Morning Coffee: Nix, Broncos brace for toughest test yet
The Denver Broncos defied all expectations by clinching a playoff berth this season.
With a trip to the postseason, they earned the opportunity to surprise the football world one more time as a massive underdog for NFL Wild Card Weekend.
The Broncos opened at 360 to beat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at FanDuel. That number represents just a 21.7 per cent implied probability that Denver wins.
It also made the Broncos the second-biggest underdog for NFL Wild Card Weekend, behind only the Pittsburgh Steelers at 420 to beat the Baltimore Ravens.
When asked about his team’s chances, head coach Sean Payton responded, “We all like a challenge, right?”
Payton silenced his critics by guiding Denver back to the playoffs in a year when most NFL fans expected the franchise to be in a rebuild mode.
