NFL Playoff Predictions: Tim Tebow Will Be Magical as Broncos Roll into Playoffs

If you want to tuck the kiddies in on Saturday night with a fanciful tale, you can just tell them how the Broncos got into the playoffs. It will, of course, have to start with the Denver Broncos playing a string of games against awful opponents and teams that were beaten and battered long before their tipoff with the Mile High Messiah. 

You should also include how amazing this Broncos defense has been playing and how that lead to most of the games in the second half of the season being so close. 

Now that you have eaten your broccoli in regards to storytelling, you can get to the dessert. Now, you can regale them with Tim Tebow and his fourth-quarter antics, because that is what will happen this weekend. 

The Others 

First, let's get rid of the pesky team that has a say in whether the Broncos clinch their first playoff spot in six years this weekend. 

The Raiders are taking on the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that has a renewed sense of worth after dismissing Todd Haley and beating the best team in the land. 

I will take a surging team over one that has dropped three straight and doesn't seem right in the head. And before you question me calling the Chiefs surging, you get that label when you beat the Green Bay Packers. 

Denver Broncos

The Broncos get a treat placed perfectly in the schedule. The Bills can't do anything right during a span that has seen them drop seven straight. 

I see the Broncos struggling to put the ball in the end zone, and the Bills will also struggle. This game has the promise of a fourth quarter that will see the Broncos with either a short lead or behind by a mere field goal. 

That is when a light will shine from above, and you know the rest: Broncos win, Denver gets the playoffs and Tim Tebow is lauded in the most ridiculous fashion that we have ever seen in NFL history.
