At the moment, the Broncos aren't favored to win the Super Bowl this season. They might be 11-3, and they might have Peyton Manning lining up under center for them. But according to the latest odds out of Las Vegas, the Patriots, Seahawks, and Packers are all favored ahead of the Broncos to win the big game in February. But that isn't stopping one of their players from guaranteeing an NFL title this season.

After Denver took care of business against the Chargers last night, Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton was asked about his team's chances of making another run to the Super Bowl. And he responded by guaranteeing that Denver will be the team in possession of the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the year.

"It doesn't matter what happens," he told reporters. "At the end of the year, we're hoisting that trophy. I don't care if New England doesn't lose again. I don't care where we have to play. I don't care who our opponent is. We're not going to be satisfied until we hoist that trophy. So if we've got to go to New England (in the playoffs) and win somewhere we're not used to winning, we're going to make it happen."

Hmmm…This sounds very familiar. Didn't Von Miller say something similar to this back in 2013? Yes, he did. And that didn't work out too well for him and the Broncos. So Knighton probably would have been better off keeping his guarantee to himself yesterday.
