Updated playoff and AFC West odds

The Denver Broncos are on the verge of accomplishing something they haven’t done since 2015.

After twelve games played, they are in a position to reach the playoffs.

Head coach Sean Payton and rookie quarterback Bo Nix enjoyed success in their first season together in Denver. With their 7-5 record, the Broncos would clinch the third wild card spot in the AFC playoffs if the season ends today.

Should they beat the Cleveland Browns on “Monday Night Football,” they have a 76% chance of making the playoffs, according to NFL.com’s playoff picture.

After an 8-9 season in 2023, Denver is already one win away from matching its full-season win total in 2024. The Broncos still have five games left, and Nix will continue to expand his position as Offensive Rookie of the Year if he continues to lead his team to victories.

Broncos remaining schedule

According to Tankathon, Denver has the 14th most difficult schedule with five games remaining. Their upcoming opponents have a combined winning percentage of .533.

The Broncos have just two division games left in their last five games, each against one of the teams ahead of them in the standings. Denver’s other three remaining matchups are against sub-.500 teams: the Browns, Bengals and Colts.

Here’s who the Broncos will face in the final six weeks:

Week 13: vs. Cleveland Browns (3-8)
Week 14: BYE
Week 15: vs. Indianapolis Colts (6-7)
Week 16: at the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4)
Week 17: at the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8)
Week 18: vs. Kansas City Chiefs (11-1)

AFC West standings

The Broncos are in third place in the AFC West and are the third team in the division to currently hold a playoff spot.

Denver is at a disadvantage in the fight for the division title not only because it has the third-best record, but also because it lost its first duels against both teams before it. The Broncos must win each of their remaining games against the Chargers and Chiefs in order to split the head-to-head matchup against both teams.

Here’s where the AFC West stands after Sunday’s slate in Week 13:

Kansas City Chiefs (11-1)
Los Angeles Chargers (8-4)
Denver Broncos (7-5)
Las Vegas Raiders (2-10)
