6. The Broncos will challenge KC

The sixth prediction is that the Broncos will challenge the Kansas City Chiefs for the division heading in the final weeks of the season but fall short.

The Broncos are poised to push the AFC status quo with their offseason additions and emergency of young players such as Lock, Sutton, and Lindsay.

The Broncos will play strongly into the end of the season but will come up just short in challenging the Chiefs for the AFC crown.

The Chiefs return almost all of their starters from a Super Bowl-winning team from a season ago.
