JAX is the preferred outcome, though DEN’s home-field history keeps this from being a runaway projection. Jacksonville opened 2026 with a 34-10 home win over Cleveland, and Trevor Lawrence completed 18 of 23 passes for 245 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. Denver, by contrast, lost 31-10 at Kansas City and produced only 131 passing yards, 61 rushing yards, and four sacks allowed in its opener. The Broncos did go 8-1 at home last season and finished 14-3 overall, so Empower Field and their established home advantage support some resistance. Still, Jacksonville’s explosive, mistake-free opening performance gives it the stronger overall case, with a modest tie possibility in a full-game projection.
