The Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars are set to square off in a potential AFC championship game preview in Week 16.
Denver and Jacksonville have exceeded expectations this season, as both squads have already reached 10 wins and will be in the playoffs, with the Broncos already clinching their spot. The Jaguars are a near-lock to make the postseason, though Liam Coen's squad hasn't officially made it just yet.
That said, let's see who the experts think will win this exciting matchup between two young AFC teams that have shocked the NFL world this season.
NFL Week 16 picks: Broncos vs. Jaguars
Bill Bender, AllSportsPeople: Broncos 30, Jaguars 24
Bender: "The Broncos continue to roll under coach Sean Payton, but the Jaguars will be an interesting test. The Jaguars have won five in a row, and Trevor Lawrence has nine TDs and no interceptions in his last three games. Jacksonville is 0-3 S/U when Lawrence takes more three sacks. Will the protection hold up against Denver?"
Jeremy Cluff, The Arizona Republic: Broncos 27, Jaguars 24
Cluff: "The Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence really impressed in the win over the Jets. But that was the Jets. Jacksonville's 5-game win streak will come to an end against the Broncos, who have won 11 in a row and are a perfect 7-0 at home this season."
