According to numberFire, the Denver Broncos are not only one of the best teams in football, but also have a very good chance of making the playoffs in 2017. In the AFC West, it’s between the Kansas City Chiefs and Broncos in their eyes.
AFC West Playoff probabilities
- Kansas City Chiefs - 91.3%
- Denver Broncos - 72.6%
- Oakland Raiders - 15.0%
- Los Angeles Chargers - 2.8%
The Broncos are by far the best defense in the league and that is going to keep their somewhat mediocre offense in a lot of games.
The main reason for sharing this information has less to do with playoff chances four games into a sixteen game season and more to do with making fun of the Raiders and Chargers, both of whom were favored over the Broncos by most prognosticators heading into the season.
