Following the conclusion of the 2024 NFL regular season, the Denver Broncos (10-7) have a 0.2 Football Power Index (FPI) rating from ESPN, which ranks 17th in the NFL.
The Buffalo Bills (13-4), who will host the Broncos in the first round of the NFL playoffs, are ranked fourth with a 5.9 FPI rating.
FPI is “a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward for the rest of the season,” according to ESPN.com. “FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule.”
