The New England Patriots are getting ready to play this Sunday against the Denver Broncos in the AFC championship game. Unlike their opponents, which have a heavily depleted offense that is missing quarterback Bo Nix and may or may not have J.K. Dobbins on Sunday, the Patriots are going into the crucial encounter with an almost entirely healthy team.
While the Patriots haven’t released their own injury report yet this week, here’s a recap of their players going through injury situations based on advancements since the Divisional round and in last week’s report. As one can see, most of their players are moving to full participation this week, although they did miss several players during practice this Wednesday.

What Are the Odds for the AFC Championship Game?
The New England Patriots are the clear favorites for this Sunday AFC championship game. According to DraftKings, they’re 5.5 favorites for the encounter against the Denver Broncos. The ESPN game is giving them a 59.1% chance of winning the game.
That’s not unexpected, given that they have a healthy team when compared to the Broncos that are missing their starting quarterback and potentially their leading running back.
The Broncos do have one thing going their way, which is that the game is set to be played at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.
