The Denver Broncos are riding a 10-game win streak this season and haven’t lost at home in over a year. That kind of consistency-especially in the altitude and energy of Empower Field-should speak for itself. But apparently, Vegas isn’t listening.
Despite their dominance, the Broncos are 2.5-point home underdogs heading into this weekend’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers. And yeah, that raised a few eyebrows. Both teams have been playing solid football, but it’s not every day you see a double-digit win streak team getting points at home.
That said, Bo Nix isn’t losing sleep over the betting line. The rookie quarterback, who’s quickly becoming one of the most entertaining voices at the podium, gave a response that perfectly captures his mindset-and maybe a bit of the team’s identity too.
Asked how he felt about being underdogs in their own stadium, Nix didn’t flinch. “I don’t really care,” he said with a grin. “My mom thinks we’ll win, so that’s all that matters.”
That’s Bo Nix in a nutshell: confident, unshaken, and cool under pressure. It’s the same demeanor he brings to the field every Sunday.
Whether it’s threading a pass into tight coverage or leading a clutch drive late in the fourth, Nix doesn’t blink. He’s got that rare blend of poise and personality that makes teammates rally around him and fans buy in.
And let’s be honest-this kind of moment only adds to his growing legend in Denver. He’s not just performing; he’s connecting. He’s leading with a mix of swagger and sincerity that fits perfectly in a locker room that’s been through the fire and come out stronger.
Let’s rewind for a second. This team was written off not long ago.
Just last season, the Broncos were widely considered one of the league’s worst. Sean Payton’s decision to take the helm in a division that includes Patrick Mahomes?
Questioned. Bo Nix as a first-round pick?
Doubted. The Russell Wilson dead cap hit?
Supposed to sink the franchise for years.
But here they are. 11-2.
Winners of 10 straight. Still getting overlooked.
And that’s exactly the kind of fuel a team like this feeds on. The Broncos don’t need the oddsmakers’ respect-they’ve been earning it on the field week after week.
Being underdogs at home? That’s just another chip on the shoulder for a group that’s been carrying them since Day 1.
This isn’t about what Vegas thinks. It’s about what’s happening inside that locker room-where belief runs deep, and doubt just adds to the motivation. And if you ask Bo Nix, there’s only one prediction that matters this week: Mom says they’re gonna win.
Game on.
