Going into the NFL's conference championship weekend, the Denver Broncos have a -2.0 Football Power Index (FPI) rating from ESPN, which ranks last among the four remaining playoff teams. FPI is "a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season," according to ESPN.com.
