The Denver Broncos don’t have a successful history as a double-digit underdog.
As the Broncos (3-6) prepare for their Week 11 game at the Minnesota Vikings (7-3), they enter as 10.5-point underdogs. On the MHR Radio Podcast, Adam Malnati and I used a stat from Joe Mahoney to lead off the show. If you go back to 1980, Denver is 2-10 in any game (regular season and playoffs) where it enters as double-digit dogs. Those two wins were in Super Bowl XXXII against the Green Bay Packers and a Monday night win in 1987 over the Oakland Raiders.
