After the Broncos’ 34-30 win over the Colts in their preseason opener, one quarterback continues to be the favorite to be Denver’s Week 1 starter, according to one sportsbook.
Rookie Bo Nix has -310 odds — meaning a $310 bet would win $100 — to take the first snap against the Seahawks on Sept. 8, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Renck vs. Keeler: When Sean Payton suggested he was better than most at evaluating college quarterbacks, was he right?
Keeler: Bo Nix should be Broncos’ Week 1 starting QB in Seattle, unless injury bug bites. But that bug would have to catch him first.

It’s a sizeable lead over incumbent starter Jarrett Stidham, who has +225 odds. Zach Wilson is a distant third at +6,000.
Nix’s odds are slightly lower than they were on July 2 when he was listed at -400. Wilson was +450 and Stidham was +650.
Nix completed 15 of 21 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown against Indianapolis. He also had three carries for 17 yards. The Broncos will host the Packers in their second preseason game, which takes place at 6 p.m. Sunday.
