The AFC West is up for grabs, but are the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos actually capable of winning the Super Bowl in 2026? On this episode of Big Game Energy, Spencer, Dom, and James break down two of the AFC's biggest contenders and explain why neither team will be playing for the Lombardi Trophy.

We start with the Kansas City Chiefs, discussing Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, Kenneth Walker, the Chiefs' lack of a true WR1, and whether Kansas City's Super Bowl window is finally beginning to close.

Then we break down the Denver Broncos, who are coming off a 14-3 season and an AFC Championship Game appearance. We discuss Bo Nix, Sean Payton, Jaylen Waddle, Denver's decision to run it back, and whether the Broncos can repeat the magic that helped them reach the AFC Championship last season.

We also make our 2026 NFL season predictions, including projected records and playoff expectations for both teams.

Then it's time for No Huddle, featuring the Raiders' decision between Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza, our predictions for the first NFL head coach to be fired in 2026, a million-dollar NFL challenge, and some NFL and NBA trivia to close things out.
