The pro football season is preparing to kick off, but one Las Vegas bookmaker has already picked the Denver Broncos to win Super Bowl XLIX.
Wynn Sports Book Executive Director John Avello gave the NFL team 5-1 odds, with the defending champion Seattle Seahawks right behind at 7-1.
The NFL season opens 8:30 p.m. EDT Thursday with the Green Bay Packers hosting the Seahawks.
Avello said on CNBC's "Halftime Report" that after each Super Bowl, it's his job to "evaluate each team, assign odds to them and then put a little hold percentage there for the house."
