The only pundit that truly means something, to Bo Nix, is Krista Nix.
So does it add any fuel that his Broncos — his 11-2, currently No. 1 seeded Broncos — are actually betting underdogs against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday?
“I don’t really care,” Nix smiled Wednesday. “My mom thinks we’ll win. So that’s all that really matters.”
From one standpoint, Vegas’s disbelief in a team riding a 10-game win-streak and playing at home Sunday could only add more fuel to a growing fire inside the locker room. These Broncos, including Nix himself, have scoffed in recent weeks at any notion that their wins have come by way of a soft schedule.
