Good teams beat the teams that they are supposed to beat. The 2018 Broncos are not a good team. For that matter, neither were the 2017 Broncos. During Vance Joseph’ tenure as head coach the Broncos are 7-8 in games where Vegas had them as the favorites. Now admittedly, Denver was only favored by 3 on the road against the 49ers, but the loss in San Francisco is another embarrassing loss on the resume of Vance Joseph.
It’s probably not as bad as the loss to the Jets earlier this year where we made a journeyman running back look like Timmy Smith in the Super Bowl Adrian Peterson in his prime.
