Broncos end the Season 13-2-1, yes a tie.

The previous prediction was just about wins. This time their overall record. To many Broncos fans, predicting even one less for the Broncos is sacrilege, but I have two losses. Division games are always tough and its figured they will lose one of those. That is also where they come away with a tie game.

As for who they tie against, that would be between the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs. All three of the teams have good defenses and can shut down opposing offenses, but we have yet to see the Raiders or Chiefs do that with only one game played. That potential is still there and why a bold prediction of a tie.

Ties are rare in the NFL, with only three since 2012 and only five in the 2000’s. So predicting a tie is almost as bold as they come, especially in a division game. Whoever they tie against, it will be a low score, under 20 points, with the caliber of defense that will be on display.
