Can you believe our Denver Broncos are in the playoff race for the first time in 8 YEARS???
If the Broncos win their next 3 games, they have an 80% chance of making the playoffs, so they MUST win every game. Luckily, they have the easiest remaining schedule among the teams in the playoff race. But they do need some help from other AFC teams losing as they are the 11th seed. So I broke down which games to watch this weekend and what teams we need to lose to boost the Broncos’ chances.
As a general rule of thumb, you want any AFC team to lose (and forever and always the Chiefs):
🏈 Bengals (8-6) @ Steelers (7-7) - a Steelers win, and the Broncos’ chances goes to 82%, but a Bengals win drops it to 76%
🏈 Bills (8-6) @ Chargers (5-9) - the Bills are only 1 game ahead of the Broncos with the Broncos winning the tie breaker
🏈 Colts (8-6) @ Falcons (6-8) - the Broncos need the Colts to lose at least 2 of their final 3 games
🏈 Browns (9-5) @ Texans (8-6) - the Broncos need 2 losses from both the teams in the remaining 3 weeks
With so many teams with a close record to the Broncos, it makes the playoff picture a bit more foggy. While the only thing the Broncos can control is winning their final games, but at least we can boo some other teams in the meantime, right?
LET’S GO BRONCOS !!!! 🔹🐴🔸
