The Denver Broncos are set to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a highly anticipated Week 16 matchup, with significant playoff implications hanging in the balance. The game is scheduled to kick off at 4:05 p.m. EST on Sunday and will be broadcast on Fox. The Broncos are currently favored to win by 3 points, according to BetMGM NFL odds. However, the Jaguars have been in excellent form, winning five consecutive games and can clinch a playoff spot with a victory combined with a loss by either Houston or Indianapolis. The Jaguars have been impressive on both offense and defense, boasting a +96 point differential against the AFC, the highest in the league this season. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been particularly outstanding, accounting for 10 touchdowns and zero turnovers in his last three games. Meanwhile, the Broncos have been on a roll, winning 11 consecutive games for the first time since 2012. They have also won 12 consecutive home games and can clinch the AFC West and the AFC's No. 1 overall seed with a victory and some help elsewhere. The Broncos' pass rush will be a key factor in the game, as they look to slow down the Jaguars' offense. However, the Jaguars' offense has been improving, with running back Travis Etienne leading the charge. Etienne has scored nine touchdowns in his last six games and is just three shy of passing tight end Marcedes Lewis for fifth place in franchise history. The Broncos will also be without several key players, including linebacker Justin Strnad, who was injured last weekend. However, rookie running back RJ Harvey and rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant are both expected to play. The game promises to be an exciting matchup between two teams with contrasting styles. The Broncos will look to extend their winning streak, while the Jaguars will aim to secure a playoff spot. With so much on the line, this Week 16 showdown is not to be missed.
