Welcome back to my weekly AFC West check-in – a quick, data-driven power ranking that tracks how the divisional shifts from Sunday to Sunday. Rankings aren’t box-score trophies – they’re context-adjusted judgments on where these teams are at and who’s sitting pole week to week.

The Denver Broncos (11-2) can't clinch an AFC West title this weekend (the Los Angeles Chargers are still alive), but the Broncos could punch their ticket to the playoffs.

There will be NFL clinching scenarios on the table for the first time of the 2025 season in Week 15. Here's a look at the playoff bracket thus far.

We are deep in the trenches now, friends. Week 15. Playoff pictures are clarifying, coaches are sweating, and I’m here to throw gasoline on the fire with predictions that have no business being this confident.

Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix was lights out in the Denver Broncos 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers in week 15. Nix had what may have been the best game of his entire pro career, leading the Broncos to their 11th straight win.

The 7-2 Broncos are first in the AFC West and third in the conference going into Week 10.

Week 14 is in the books, faithful friends. The Broncos rolled into Vegas and… well… you already know. The Chiefs may have self-detonated their 2025 postseason hopes, and the Chargers slugged it out in Monday night primetime.

Our writers and editors pick winners in all 16 games, including Rams-Lions and Broncos-Packers.
