Point Spread: 3.00 | -105.00 Denver (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Denver Broncos.
Have you heard the news? Peyton Manning is a has been, all washed up they say. Well I'll tell you right now that I'm not buying it. At the end of the day, his team is undefeated, and he's a big reason why. While his numbers don't show it, he's done just enough to put his team in position to win games, and that includes a 4th quarter comeback in Kansas City.
Manning threw for 256 yards and three TDs in that game, including an 80 yard drive that ended with a game-tying touchdown with 32 seconds on the clock. That allowed the Broncos to win the game with a fumble recovery for a TD on the next series.
It comes as no surprise to me that Manning's numbers are down this year, here is what I said before their home opener versus Baltimore: " I think this Denver team is going to have a different look in 2015. Rather than depending on Peyton Manning to carry the offense with an all out air attack, I expect more of an emphasis on the running game. I also believe they will have one of the league's best defenses with a healthy Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware. The Broncos had a whopping 20 sacks on opposing quarterbacks this pre-season."
You can also blame poor offensive line play for much of his struggles, but coming off a bye week might be just what they needed to rejuvenate. The Packers rank first in the NFL in points allowed, but they were lit up for 503 yards and two TDs by Phillip Rivers in their last game.
Green Bay's prolific offense has never been quite as potent away from Lambeau Field, and they totaled just 17 points in San Francisco in their last road game. Rodgers has averaged just 206 passing yards in two road games this season, and a trip to Denver is a tougher test than the previous two.
Take DEN.
