The experts all have us losing but markets have us winning?

Disclaimer: This is not a gambling post, I don't do sports betting, nor am I seeking betting advice.

Just wanted to point out all the major outlets (ESPN, pretty much every prediction website) had us losing by anywhere from 1 – 8 points, but we are somehow favored in the betting odds on every platform between -1.5 and -2.5. If the consensus is we'll suffer a close loss, why is the market saying we'll get a close win?

And I know we get better odds due to home advantage, but the experts know that and still think we'll lose. What's more puzzling is on ESPN pick 'em, over 70% of people voted on the Broncos to win. So what gives? Mathematically speaking this makes no sense unless the betting companies know something the experts don't, otherwise they are just **losing** (relative to what they could make) money because they are underpricing Denver bets. Based on all this you'd think Denver would be at least -2 or -3.

EDIT: 75% bets on Broncos to outright win, 25% on Texans. Don't have amount wagered stats but assumed with this massive discrepancy in number of wagers there's bound to be more money on the Broncos too. No other favored team has less than 50% of the bets, much less 25%.
