Predicting the Broncos’ remaining game and final record

Can the Denver Broncos beat the Chiefs and clinch a spot in the NFL playoffs? Here is our final prediction of the regular season.

Back in November, we published score predictions for the Denver Broncos‘ final six games of the 2024 season.

The exact scores did not hit, but these were the win/loss predictions: beat Las Vegas Raiders, beat Cleveland Browns, beat Indianapolis Colts, lose to Los Angeles Chargers, lose to Cincinnati Bengals, and beat Kansas City Chiefs.

That prediction had the Broncos finishing with a 10-7 record and making the NFL playoffs. If Denver beats the Chiefs on Sunday, the Broncos will clinch a spot in the NFL playoffs with a 10-7 record.

Let’s hope that November prediction comes true. Here is our updated score prediction with KC set to rest their starters on Sunday.

Week 18: Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs

(Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports)

Score prediction: Broncos 29, Chiefs 18

Record: 10-7 (playoffs clinched)

Because the Buffalo Bills are locked into the AFC’s No. 2 seed, they would be Denver’s opponent in the first round if the Broncos make the playoffs as the No. 7 seed. First things first, though, Denver needs to secure one more win (or tie) to clinch a postseason berth.
