The Official Broncos Blog Scoring Contest will continue into the playoffs due to popular demand, but here’s a look at the standings entering the final week of the regular season.

Things are tightening up near the top, though The Dane still holds the overall lead in the contest.

In Week 16, the Broncos defeated the Cleveland Browns 34-12. There were a lot of great predictions — 27 bloggers were within single digits of the actual score. But only five are taking home points for the week.

Wolfedom and alex4serg tied for first place as both were only one point away from the actual score with predictions of 34-13 and 35-12, respectively. In second were Andyboy31 and tnalen66, who were both two points off from the real score by guessing 34-14 and 33-13, respectively. Jake rounds it out in third with his prediction of 35-10.

UPDATE: My apologies to killerkod, who predicted 35-13 and therefore also receives second-place points since he was only two points off the actual score. He’s now in 11th place with 12 points on the season.

Before we get to the standings, make sure you get your predictions in for this Sunday’s regular-season finale versus Kansas City here. They’ll be accepted all the way up to the scheduled 2:25 p.m. MST kickoff.

On Sunday, the Broncos defeated the Baltimore Ravens 34-17. And we had a perfect score submitted in the blogger contest.

Quick question, by the way — would you all like for this contest to continue on to any Broncos playoff games? Or should the contest be called at the end of the regular season? I’d imagine this would go into the postseason, just wanted to check for a consensus.

Taking last week’s points into account, below are the top bloggers in the standings entering Week 15:

There are now 10 bloggers tied for 16th place with seven points scored so far this season. There are 50 bloggers that have made the overall standings, with scores ranging from The Dane’s 31 to 11 bloggers with three points on the season.

For the fifth straight week, everyone with a scoring prediction has picked the Broncos to win. It seems to be a good strategy.

Just to recap, the Broncos defeated the Chiefs 17-9. No one was particularly close this week, but Jake came in first with his prediction of 25-10 — nine points off the actual score.

Oldsouthstander takes home second place, 10 points off with his guess of 27-9. Still1972 gets third-place points with his 28-7 prediction — 13 points off the actual score.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. And a special shoutout to The Dane, who predicted the first perfect score of the season.

Quick refresher — the Broncos defeated the San Diego Chargers 30-23 last Sunday. Everyone was clearly pretty optimistic about that victory, as every single prediction had the Broncos winning.

It just so happened that The Dane’s prediction was spot on. He takes home first-place points, extending his overall lead in the contest. In second was tnalen66, who was only off by one with his guess of 29-23. Two bloggers tied for third, as both were only two points off — Daddybronc and Orange_Crusher.

My apologies for the late posting this week, but make sure you get your predictions in for this Sunday’s game against San Diego here.

A lot of good guesses for last week’s win at Carolina, as three bloggers tied for first-place points.

Denver won 36-14, and broncsbomber66, broncofaninIL and MatthewConnen were all just two total points off the correct score with predictions of 35-13, 37-13 and 37-13, respectively.

In second place were Dbroncos82, Anthony Trujillo and Yaya, who were just three points off from the actual score. Four more players tied for third place, all just four points off the score — DaddyBronc, Wolfedom, RH709 and tlcat06.

Again, predictions for this week’s game vs. San Diego are still being accepted up until kickoff on Sunday. They can be submitted here.
