2012-2013 Regular Season: 13-3 SU | 11-5 ATS
2012-2013 Postseason: 0-1 SU | 0-1 ATS
Starting the season with 2 wins in his first 5 games was not the way Peyton Manning wanted to start the new chapter of his career and to prove his neck injuries would not impact his game. Things quickly changed with Manning leading the Broncos to an 11-game winning streak to end the regular season resulting in 13-3 SU and 11-5 ATS records – both were tops in the AFC West.
Expectations are high for the Broncos who are priced +275 to win the AFC championship and +600 to reign supreme in Super Bowl XLVIII. It also helps them to have the easiest schedule in the league, based on last season’s performances. Their upcoming opponents had an NFL worst combined winning percentage of.430 last season. Peyton Manning also got a top-notch wide receiver when the Broncos’ front office snagged former Patriot Wes Welker from free agency and from rival New England.
And if things remain the same in the AFC West, where no team last season other than Denver finished above .438, then the Broncos are bound for another crown in the division. They were 6-0 SU and 4-2 ATS in games against divisional opponents last season.
Despite having the weakest schedule for the season, Denver ironically starts week 1 off by facing the defending champion Baltimore Ravens — the same team that knocked them out of the playoffs in a shocker. The Broncos are 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. Aside from that, the team from the Mile-High city is 11-1 SU and 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games overall. The Broncos are 7.5-point favorites in their rematch against Baltimore.
