  "account": "The Denver Broncos, who finished 14-3 last season and secured the AFC's top playoff seed as AFC West champions, will face a steeper schedule in 2026. They will encounter 10 teams that made the NFL playoffs the previous year, including several title contenders.\n\nIn Week 11, they will host the Las Vegas Raiders (4-5) at home after a bye week (Week 10). The Broncos appear poised to exceed the 10 wins needed for a playoff spot. Here are their predicted scores and projected final record for the remainder of the season:\n\n- Week 12: Broncos 20, Steelers 22 (8-3)\n- Week 13: Broncos 24, Dolphins 13 (9-3)\n- Week 14: Broncos 23, Jets 20 (10-3)\n- Week 15: Broncos 26, Raiders 24 (11-3)\n- Week 16: Broncos 23, Bills 27 (11-4)\n- Week 17: Broncos 23, Patriots 16 (12-4)\n- Week 18: Broncos 25, Chargers 18 (13-4)\n\nThe projected final record for the Broncos is 13-4. The team was eliminated from the playoffs last season by losing quarterback Bo Nix to a broken ankle in the divisional round. This season, they aim to make a comeback and once again contend for the NFL championship.",
