Pretty interesting to see this article dating back to August. Almost any coach can say their teams are capable of reaching the Super Bowl, but this coming from a proven Super Bowl winning head coach makes it a slightly bigger deal. This belief has given his players confidence and has resulted in the best record in the league at 12-3. Sean Payton gives Broncos the head coaching advantage over other AFC teams in the playoffs.
Broncos coming into the season had a projected 15th toughest schedule. The schedule turned out to be not as hard as expected. They currently have the 31st toughest SOS. The teams that were supposed to be good: Chiefs, Commanders, Bengals faltered while the (early season)Colts and Jaguars took their place. Other bad teams that were suppose to improve had become worse such as Raiders. Broncos 10 of 12 victories were by one possession.
Against this season's playoff Calibur teams they have been mostly up to the task by beating Eagles, Texans and Packers in a dogfight but lost to Chargers and were soundly beaten by Jaguars last week. 3-2 is commendable and they are capable of going toe-to-toe with any team in the playoffs field, but to call them a dominant #1 seed I can't yet especially the way they got manhandled by the Jags. Point differential is +67, nothing spectacular. There's a great chance Broncos slip to #2 and Patriots sneak in the #1 seed with an easier last 2 games.
Strengths: Offensive line/pass blocking, Bo Nix scrambling and extending plays with legs, strong defensive line pressure/sacks, RedZone efficiency off/def
Broncos at +900 to win the Super Bowl currently might have some value if they can retain the #1 seed and homefield advantage. Payton with extra time to prepare has usually been solid straight up. They're making progress each of their last 3 seasons with Payton. Broncos are good enough for at least one playoff win if they end up a wildcard team.

NFL.com has downgraded Rams from top spot all the way to #8 in the Power Rankings. Yet Rams are still currently sitting at #1 with +400 to win it all. By the way, that odds was +460 earlier in the day.

Broncos will be one and done in the post-season.

Colts have no chance. Rivers is going be tap dancing to Houston and Jacksonville defense.
Sounds about right

Wow, I don't agree with NFL.com. Rams are top 5 at least despite their current playoff positioning . Only weakness is special teams

I really think Rams not getting home field was there shot at an easier path of getting to the Super Bowl that was a must win game versus Seattle and they blew it obviously this team is good but elements will make it tougher for Stafford..especially this time of the year..we shall see

Me either. ESPN even has them 2nd. NFLEO still has them 1st, which I agree with.

NFL.com downgrading Rams like that based on Seahawks match is absurd. Rams played strong for 52 minutes and Seahawks showed grit in last 8 minutes and won (with a favourable sequence of events). In that case; I will take Rams all day over Seahawks.
