Broncos was/were
I'm confused as to which to use when it comes to a team:
Thought Broncos was/were going to win.
Broncos is one team to me so should it be was but then it has an s at end making it a plural?? Not sure.

Actually, both are correct. It's a question of style and perhaps a smidgen of BrE versus AmE. Here are two sentences that express the same conundrum: British Airways are please to announce new service from London to Denver.
