Denver will win the AFC Championship Game and reach Super Bowl LX.

First call: Jan 18, 2026, 1:10 AM ET · Deadline: Jan 25, 2026, 3:00 PM ET · Historical archive

THE ORIGINAL TAKE
“The broncos will be in the super bowl!”
OPEN THE ORIGINAL POST ↗

What we’re scoring

January 18 original forecasts Denver winning its already scheduled conference final regardless of the remaining Patriots-Texans winner. Subsequent Denver-beats-Patriots and Patriots-miss-Super-Bowl statements describe the same conference-final result, not additional independent scores.

The ruling

New England defeated Denver 10-7 in the AFC Championship Game. Denver did not reach Super Bowl LX.

    New England defeated Denver 10-7 in the AFC Championship Game. Denver did not reach Super Bowl LX.

  3. Sep 24, 2026, 1:01 PM ET · repeat

    Repeats the already recorded Denver conference-final winner forecast now that the opponent is known. Whacked has no separate margin, and Patriots not reaching the Super Bowl is the same result in this scheduled matchup.

  4. Sep 24, 2026, 1:01 PM ET · repeat

    Same Denver conference-final win forecast as the earlier January 18 original. Link only; the later in-game January 25 repeat is excluded by the pre-event rule.

  5. Sep 24, 2026, 1:20 PM ET · repeat

    Repeats the same Denver conference-final winner position. No extra score. The Patriots-Texans game was underway, but the forecast concerns the following week. Preserve the explicit Rams exception; do not turn the NFC discussion into an additional Seattle winner call.
