3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will the Denver Broncos win the 2027 NFL league championship? — the market puts it at 3%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Apr 2027. For the "Yes" outcome to occur, the Denver Broncos must win the 2027 NFL league championship. If they are eliminated from playoff contention or do not win the championship, the market resolves to "No." Readers often mistakenly believe that regular-season performance or playoff seeding determines the resolution, but only the final championship game result matters.
  • Will Denver Broncos win the 2027 NFL AFC Championship? — the market puts it at 7%, closing 1 Apr 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if the Denver Broncos win the 2027 AFC Championship game. The No outcome applies if any other team wins or if the Broncos are eliminated before that final game. Readers often mistake the linked Week 3 news for the resolution event, but only the result of the specific 2027 championship game counts.
  • Sean Payton — the market puts it at 1%, closing 28 Feb 2028. The outcome is Yes if Sean Payton wins the Pro Football AP Coach of the Year award for the 2026-2027 season. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked story about his criticism of the Broncos as relevant to the resolution, but only the official award result matters.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
