The AFC playoff picture will shape out after todays’s final Monday Night Football matchup! Tonight the (10-4) Denver Broncos will host the (11-3) Cincinnati Bengals in what will be a must win for both teams if they want high seeding in the playoffs.
According to ESPN,
The Cincinnati Bengals are already in, the Denver Broncos would like to be in — the playoffs, that is — and Monday night’s game in Denver will have a lot to say about which team earns a much-coveted playoff bye.
The Bengals (11-3) have clinched their postseason spot and are currently the AFC’s No. 2 seed, behind the New England Patriots. The Broncos once had a three-game lead in the AFC West, a lead that’s now just one game after back-to-back losses.
The Broncos need two wins — Monday night against the Bengals and in the regular-season finale against the Chargers — to guarantee their best-possible playoff positioning, which would include a bye week for a battered team that desperately needs one.
Tonight, Brock Osweiler will once again be the starter for the Broncos and former Alabama QB A.J. McCarron will start for the Bengals. I expect the Broncos to come out and get a big win over the Bengals tonight. Look for Osweiler to pass for 3 touchdowns and over 300 passing yards. A.J. McCarron will struggle tonight against the Broncos defense. Look for McCarron to toss two picks tonight both resulting in Broncos touchdown.
