Chris Oladokun was serviceable in relief for the Kansas City Chiefs during Week 16's loss to the Titans, but this is a significant jump up in competition against a Denver Broncos defense that should also be motivated to respond after an uncharacteristically poor performance vs. the Jaguars.

The SportsLine Projection Model sees the Broncos covering the three-point spread in 50% of simulations but likes Jacksonville on the money line. The Jaguars win in 41% of simulations to bring value as plus-money underdogs. The Under on the consensus line of 46.5 hits in 58% of simulations.

The Denver Broncos (12-3) lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars (11-4) in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday afternoon. Despite the 34-20 loss, Denver still has a chance to win the AFC West and claim the conference's No. 1 seed over the next two weeks.

The Broncos have surrendered yardage to tight ends and running backs in the passing game consistently this season, a relative weakness made more vulnerable by the recent losses of safety Brandon Jones (pectoral) and inside linebacker Justin Strnad (foot) to injury.
