NFL Week 17: Live Discussion

Welcome to Week 17 of the regular season!

Everything that needed to happen for the Denver Broncos to clinch the AFC West happened, so now we look for the less likely scenarios for an early clinch of the number one seed in the conference. For that to happen, they would need the Patriots, Bills, and Jaguars to lose to teams they are very unlikely to lose to. But it is the NFL, so who knows! At the very least, I’d like to see the Jaguars lose due to tiebreaker issues.

2025 NFL Playoffs: Broncos can clinch the one seed if the Patriots, Bills, and Jaguars lose today

On Christmas Night, the Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs and put themselves in position to win the AFC West division title and clinch the one seed in the AFC and have homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. To win the AFC West, all they needed was to beat the Chiefs and have the Texans defeat the Chargers on Saturday afternoon. Well, the Texans came through, and the Broncos are your 2025 AFC West division champs.

Now, they set their sights on the one seed in the AFC and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. For that to happen, the Broncos...

Broncos went from laughing stock to Super Bowl contender in 3 short years

Broncos went from laughing stock to Super Bowl contender in 3 short years

Things are going great right now in Broncos Country. The Broncos currently sit at 13-3, have already clinched a postseason berth, and are now your 2025 AFC West Champs. They still have a chance to clinch the one seed later today or do it next Sunday with a win over the Chargers in the season finale. The Broncos are having a magical season and are once again Super Bowl contenders.

However, as many of us remember, things were not always so pleasant.

Just three years ago, our Denver Broncos were the laughing stock of the NFL. They sat at 4-11,...

Kings of the AFC West, the Broncos set their sights on #1 seed playoffs

Kings of the AFC West, the Broncos set their sights on #1 seed playoffs

Broncos Country, the drought is officially over. With the Houston Texans defeating the Los Angeles Chargers yesterday, the Denver Broncos secured their first AFC West title in a decade. That season finished off on a high note when they went on to become Super Bowl 50 champions.

Their ascension to kings of the AFC West again is a fantastic accomplishment. Just several years removed from the dreadful Nathaniel Hackett experience, the Broncos have climbed their way back to the top despite having significant salary cap restraints due to the failed Russell Wilson experiment. I’m not so many of us were...

Yes, this is real: The Broncos win the AFC West

Yes, this is real: The Broncos win the AFC West

Good morning, Broncos Country!

For the first time in a decade, the Denver Broncos are AFC West champs.

Somehow, it feels like 84 years since the franchise has been in this position. It was a rough and tough 10 years since Super Bowl 50 …. to say the least. But the Broncos are finally out of the manure-laden doldrums and back atop the division. If that’s not enough, Denver is also in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 seed in the AFC Playoffs, which comes with home-field advantage and a bye.

It almost doesn’t feel real, that’s how...

Broncos at Chiefs: The No Bull Review

Belated Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you in Broncos Country. If you are like me and tend to choose function over form, this win felt good.

If you like style, I’m sure this game left a bad taste in your mouth. Our team looked rough around the edges in every facet of the game. But they finally put it together and locked down late in the game and came out with a victory.

Also, let me give a big, stinky pile of coal to Billy “I fix games to make money in Vegas” Vinovich. You and your...

Saturday Football Week 17: Ravens at Packers – Live Discussion

Saturday Football Week 17: Ravens at Packers – Live Discussion

The Green Bay Packers are locked into their playoff spot at home against the Baltimore Ravens, so they are not too worried about wins and losses choosing to get Jordan Love fully healthy before the playoffs begin. Technically, the Ravens are still in the playoff hunt, but that would end with a Pittsburgh Steelers victory on Sunday.

Kickoff is set for Saturday, December 25, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. Mile High time at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin and will air on NBC.

My Prediction

According to FanDuel, the Packers are favored by just 2.5-points over the Ravens. That...

Saturday Football Week 17: Texans at Chargers – Live Discussion

Almost forgot there were games today! The Saturday games always catch me off-guard. And this one between the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers has HUGE implications for the Denver Broncos and the AFC West. We are obviously rooting for the Texans today and need to see them whoop some Charger butt. I’m so late on this post that the Texans have already scored an opening touchdown on a 75 yard pass from C.J. Stroud! More of that all game long, please!

Kickoff is set for Saturday, December 25, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. Mile High time at SoFi Stadium in...

Future Broncos: Discussing several 2026 NFL Draft early declarations

With the College Football Playoffs and this year’s slate of bowl games underway, a lot of news is coming out relative to early declarations for the 2026 NFL Draft. Over the past few years, we have seen a little bit of a drop in underclassmen declaring and opting to remain in college due to NIL money and other factors. Though that isn’t stopping some of the best collegiate playmakers from going to the next level. For this installment, I’ll be focusing on some offensive prospects to keep your eye on for the Denver Broncos.

Game balls for the Broncos 20-13 win over the Chiefs in Week 17

The Denver Broncos moved to 13-3 on the season with a tough win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas night. As Head Coach Sean Payton said after the game, ‘It doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing to be effective’ and that is exactly right. Denver is now one win away from locking it all up and getting a much-needed week of rest heading into the playoffs.

Denver’s offense really didn’t struggle as much as people are saying. They controlled the ball for nearly 40 minutes and racked up 11/18 on third downs, while out-gaining the Chiefs 303-139 in total...
