In the AFC, the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs are in great position to put a stranglehold on the two first-round byes, while the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints are locking down the NFC.In SB Nation’s recent FanPulse poll, there is overwhelming confidence in all four of these teams. The Chiefs and Patriots dominated the polling with 94% of all votes going their way.The same respondents were even bigger believers in the two NFC juggernauts with the Saints and Rams snagging a combined 96% of the vote.What does this all mean? It means at least one of these four teams are probably not going to end up in their respective championship games. There is always a dark horse that emerges to upsetthe balance of power in January.Only once in the last 10 years have both the top two seeds from each conference advanced to their title games. That year was 2015. In every other season, at least one or two of the top seeded teams fell in the divisional round.If I were to pick one of these four teams to blow it, I would probably go with the team that has the most misfortune in their playoff history - the Chiefs.That would halfway make up for the Denver Broncos choking away two chances to beat them in 2018.

Report: Broncos had a pre-draft visit with Iowa tight end, Noah FantJeffrey Becker-USA TODAY SportsWe are a little late on this, but according to reports, the Denver Broncos had a pre-draft visit with former Iowa tight end, Noah Fant earlier this week. Fant is a 6’4”, 249lb tight end who is considered one of DeMarcus Ware Jersey , it not the best tight ends in the entire draft. He’s also considered one of the best overall prospects in the entire draft. What makes him considered one of these top prospects is his elite athleticism. At 6’4” and nearly 250lbs, he ran a 4.5 40-time during the NFL Scouting Combine. He also jumped 39.5 inches, and a ran the 3-cone drill in 6.81 seconds. Fant played a total of three seasons at Iowa and was a productive tight end during that time. During his three-year career at Iowa, Fant totaled 78 receptions for 1,083 yards, and 19 touchdowns. This past year, he totaled 39 receptions for 519 yards, and 7 touchdowns. The Broncos have a big need at the tight end position. They currently have Jeff Heuerman and 2018 draft pick Troy Fumagalli on the roster. Neither are really starting caliber talent nor have the receiving ability and potential that Fant has. Fant is your modern day tight end. He can play outside, in the slot, inline, and in the backfield. He’s not really a blocker, but he is a big-time matchup problem for defenses. He’s too fast for most linebackers and safeties to handle one on one and is too big and physical for cornerbacks to handle one on one. He can also out run pretty much all of them in the open field. He’s a freak.The tight end figures to be a feature of the Broncos offense going forward with Offensive Coordinator Rich Scangarello bringing the Kyle Shanahan offense to Denver. We all saw what they did with George Kittle in that offense and likely will try to replicate that here in Denver with someone. Could that someone be Noah Fant? It’s possible.If the Broncos want Noah Fant, they may have to take him at 10th overall or maybe trade back a few spots to get him. I know that might be a tad early for a tight end, but with the importance of the tight end position in this offense I would be okay with it.Both Iowa tight ends are in play for the Broncos in my opinion. T.J. Hockenson is a more traditional tight end but is also equally freaky as an athlete. He’s a dominant blocker who is also a weapon in the passing game. Meanwhile, Noah Fant is the freaky athlete/matchup problem for opposing defenses. Both would instantly upgrade the Broncos offense and should be play for the 10th overall pick.
