The AFC Championship game pits a pair of Denver Broncos rivals: The Kansas City Chiefs against the New England Patriots. How will it unfold?

While the Denver Broncos aren’t playing in this years AFC Championship game, they have still been busy getting ready for next season. The Broncos have hired the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach Mike Munchak to the same role on Vic Fangio’s staff.

This is a huge signing.

The Broncos line was much better this season, but still has a way to go. Luckily, Munchak is widely considered one of the best O-Line coaches in the league.

Last week, the Chiefs and Patriots dominated their opponents and both clearly deserve to be in this Championship game.

The last time these two teams played, it was early in the season and the teams scored over 80 combined points in a legendary shootout. During that game, people were talking about this being a potential Championship Game preview, and they were right.

Here are the predictions for this game from a few Predominantly Orange staff writers.
