New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos: Predictions, NFL Odds, Expert Picks, and How to Watch

Looking for a New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos live stream? Here’s how to watch in Canada live on Fubo.

The AFC Championship Game features a high-stakes clash at Empower Field at Mile High as the New England Patriots (14-3) visit the top-seeded Denver Broncos (14-3) for a trip to Super Bowl LX. While Denver has historically dominated this postseason matchup at home, winning the last two AFC titles played in Colorado against New England, the landscape shifted dramatically after Broncos quarterback Bo Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the divisional round. The Patriots, led by Drake Maye and a defense that helped them secure a perfect 8-0 road record during the regular season, enter as significant road favorites against a Denver squad now led by veteran backup Jarrett Stidham.

Latest Game Updates (January 25, 2026)

Quarterback Shuffle: Bo Nix is officially out following surgery on his fractured ankle, handing the reins to veteran Jarrett Stidham for his first career postseason start. Interestingly, the Patriots originally drafted Stidham in 2019, fueling a “revenge game” narrative as he faces his former team for a trip to the Super Bowl.

Key Inactives: Denver’s offense faces an uphill battle as star RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) joined Nix on the sidelines late Friday. Meanwhile, New England’s defense lost a step after leading pass-rusher Harold Landry III (knee) failed to clear protocol, which should give Stidham a much-needed cleaner pocket.

Weather Conditions: Forecasters expect a crisp 18°F (-8°C) at kickoff under clear skies. While Denver locals are used to the chill, the lack of wind actually benefits Drake Maye, allowing him to lean into his deep-ball accuracy without fighting the elements.

Line Movement: New England opened as a 5.5-point favorite; however, a late surge of Denver money pushed the spread down to -4.5 at most sportsbooks. Despite the shifting spread, the total has stayed firm at 41.5.
