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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
