2. Denver Broncos, 7-2
The Denver Broncos have won at least five games in a row for the second season in a row, and for the second season in a row, the team is 7-2. Denver simply keeps finding ways to win, and it's honestly becoming a repeat of the 2025 season.
Denver also has a major advantage, as they have an ultra-soft schedule following the bye, which includes games against Miami, the New York Jets, the Los Angeles Chargers, and two against Las Vegas. The toughest remaining game the Broncos have would be their Christmas Day showdown at home against Buffalo.
There is a path for this team to win 12+ games again, and a repeat of their 14-3 regular season from a year ago is on the table, as they're even getting some more efficient QB play from Bo Nix, as well.
All in all, the Broncos really couldn't be in a much better spot and have to be feeling good about themselves right now.
1. Buffalo Bills, 7-1
The Buffalo Bills blew out the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football and moved to 7-1 on the season, keeping their No. 1 seed in tact. The Bills defense has still mostly been bad this year, so that has to be an area they need to improve, but they're still getting top-end play from Josh Allen, and the first year of the Joe Brady era, overall, is going well.
Buffalo has never earned the top seed in the Allen era, and if that happens this year, you'd wonder if that would be the missing piece in a potential Super Bowl run. With how often Buffalo makes the playoffs and how many playoff heartbreaks they have suffered, they surely want to fast-forward through the rest of the season and just begin their postseason push.
