And so it begins.
The 2024-25 NFL playoffs begin this weekend and the Denver Broncos will be looking to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2015-16. The Broncos face long odds (+8000) to win it all, according to BetMGM.
Can they overcome those odds and take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LIX? This is what the league’s playoff bracket could look like.
NFC Wild Card: Vikings 24, Rams 21
NFC Wild Card: Buccaneers 26, Commanders 25
NFC Wild Card: Eagles 23, Packers 22
AFC Wild Card: Chargers 23, Texans 20
AFC Wild Card: Ravens 25, Steelers 21
AFC Wild Card: Broncos 24, Bills 23
NFC Divisional: Lions 27, Vikings 23
NFC Divisional: Eagles 25, Bucs 24
AFC Divisional: Broncos 22, Chiefs 20
AFC Divisional: Ravens 24, Chargers 23
AFC Championship: Ravens 24, Broncos 23
NFC Championship: Lions 25, Eagles 24
Super Bowl LIX: Lions 27, Ravens 26
A trip to the AFC championship game would obviously be a huge accomplishment for Denver with a rookie quarterback. First things first, though, the Broncos will look to upset the Bills on Sunday.
