“There’s no question that playing in that Mile High altitude effects visiting teams and I believe it’s even more impactful early in the season,” said Peter Childs, supervisor of risk management for Sportsbook.ag.
“I’m not saying these athletes and teams are not in shape, but there’s no substituting for being in ‘game shape’ and that takes a few weeks,” Childs said. “I fully believe the Broncos’ early-season success at home is directly correlated to teams not being as in shape as they are later on in the season.”
