The Denver Broncos (12-2) could go a long way to wrapping up the number one seed in the AFC with a win at home today over the Jacksonville Jaguars (10-4). A loss would bring all of that in doubt as there are multiple 10-4 teams to start this week and with just a one game lead with two games to go, it would make things quite stressful for this young Broncos’ team.
Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, December 21, 2025 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. You can watch the live stream of the game through FuboTV or on FOX. The game will be called by Kevin Kugler (play-by-play), Daryl Johnston (analyst), and Allison Williams (sideline). You can also check local Broncos radio network affiliate stations.

Broncos vs. Jaguars score predictions
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 3.5-point home favorites over the Jaguars, which is a slight increase from their opening spread. This is one of those games where I feel like the Broncos match up well in multiple areas and should win the game. However, any time I feel like this team should win a game they win by a much closer margin that I expect. Even so, I’ll give my prediction for what I think they should win by anyway.
Prediction:Broncos 27, Jaguars 17.

With the Chargers’ win in Dallas, the Broncos will have to wait until at least Thursday to clinch the AFC West.
Still have complete control of their own destiny.
With a win today vs. the Jags, Denver would head to KC with the opportunity to clinch the division and No. 1 seed.

Terrific first possession for #Broncos‘ defense. Trevor Lawrence and Jaguars go 3-and-out.
Had nobody open on that third down. Jahdae Barron played Brenton Strange perfect in match coverage. Riley Moss with a great tackle on Lawrence scramble.

3.04 seconds of hang time for Jeremy Crawshaw on his first punt of the day after a three-and-out, but great work from Kris Abrams-Draine ensures it isn’t a problem. 46 yards gross, 44 yards net.

After the second-down drop and the penalty, the Broncos will punt it right back.
Jags will take over at their own 41-yard line.

Two 3rd down sacks by the Broncos defense to force two straight 3 and outs
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) December 21, 2025
#Broncos are up to 60 sacks on the season now. Three from tying last year’s franchise record and, of course, 12 shy of Chicago’s 1985 all-time single-season mark.

Jaleel McLaughlin in on the #Broncos‘ second series and POPS one. Nearly cut it back to the house but gets tripped up deep. Picks up 16.
Sean Payton made a note to himself after last game to get McLaughlin the ball more.

Bo Nix did NOT get the first down on third down QB sneak.
Broncos going for it on 4th down.

Harvey BARELY gets the 1st down.
Whew

Broncos first down.
Jags lose a challenge and a timeout.

Nix with great throw, Sutton with better catch. 17 yards.

P.J. Locke just absolutely blew up Trevor Lawrence on a 3rd-down blitz and knocked the ball out but a flag had already been thrown. Tons of yellow laundry.
— Luca Evans (@bylucaevans) December 21, 2025
P.J. Locke crushes Trevor Lawrence with sack. But it is ruled unnecessary roughness because Locke’s play came after whistle. That is a tough call. Jags have ball at 29-yard line. Lawrence stopped. But nobody else did. But man that was a big hit.
