Quarterback Bo Nix suffered a broken ankle as the Denver Broncos booked their ticket to the AFC Championship next Sunday. The Broncos odds with Jarrett Stidham starting against either the New England Patriots or Houston Texans will almost assuredly have the home team as a sizable underdog, and their Super Bowl odds are the second-longest on the board for the six remaining teams entering today.

The Broncos were the slight 1.5-point home favorite against either the Patriots or Texans by the AFC Championship look-ahead odds earlier in the week. The hypothetical game lines were reposted following the Broncos' win on Saturday with the home team as the underdog.
The updated odds from FanDuel Canada list the Broncos as much as a 4.5-point underdog in the AFC Championship:
| Matchup | Spread | Moneyline | Over/Under |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patriots vs. Broncos | Broncos +4.5 | Broncos +188 | 40.5 |
| Texans vs. Broncos | Broncos +3.5 | Broncos +150 | 34.5 |
We can also get a sense of the updated odds by looking at the Super Bowl odds.
🏆 Broncos Super Bowl odds
The Broncos own the longest Super Bowl odds of the three remaining teams in the AFC Championship picture, despite having home-field advantage for Sunday's game at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Kickoff will be at 3 p.m. ET, ahead of the NFC Championship between the Seahawks and either the Rams or Bears. We looked at who'll play in the Super Bowl heading into the Divisional Round, and the Broncos were the most likely AFC representative.
