Drew Lock (3) of the Denver Broncos throws to Noah Fant (87) against the Oakland Raiders during the third quarter on Sunday, Dec. 28, 2019.
Entering the NFL draft on Thursday, the Broncos were listed as having the 24th-best odds to win Super Bowl LV at 66-to-1, according to Bovada.
After draft weekend, the oddsmaker gave Denver a little boost on Sunday, lifting them two spots to 45/1 odds.
The Chiefs, previously the favorites at 11/2, fell slightly into a tied with Baltimore, who improved to 13/2.
Cincinnati, Jacksonville and Washington remained in a tie in the basement, but improved from 150/1 to 100/1 odds.
