Respectfully, they do have a good defense but they gave up well over 500 yards of offense to San Diego ... at home. Rivers torched their secondary for 500+ yards. With whatever bias you want to take out of this I have been watching the Broncos for fifty-five years. This is the best defense they have ever had and yes better than the Packers. They have at least four pro bowlers in Ware, Miller, Talib and Harris. Their depth is also acceptional. They have been disparaged for being the worst 6-0 team in the league. None of their wins has been by a big margin but in each case they have found a way to win whether it be in overtime, a fumble returned for a game winning touchdown or a long drive for a game winning field goal. Their adversity has given them a mentality that may differ from that of the Packers or Patriots who have pretty much cruised to their undefeated records. Really, don't have a prediction for this game other than it will not be a rout.This is the best greenbay defense they have had since reggie white days imo. Deep, young, healthy, and fast.
I think the Jets are due for a stinker. Truth is, they can afford to slip. They have no real chance at the division, but will have a strong chance at a wild card even if they lose -- they play Jax, Mia, Hou and Buff the next 4 weeks. They get to play the AFC South this year, which means they will see Houston and the Titans. I think the Jets could well lose on Sunday and still be 8-3 in a month.
Looks like most of the forum is on the Jets this week. I'm just unsure how they will move the ball consistently. Rivers at home couldn't move the chains for 3 quarters on that D. Jets without Mangold against a top 5 rush defense on the road, gonna be tough to move the chains. This one is gonna be close and ugly I Feel like. If Raiders play clean they should win SU.
Good call on the Denver game last night! I really thought the Packers would play better than that.
On CAR thinking the exact same thing. Spread records + home field indicate a CAR bet for anything under a touch down. Anything 7+ looks like a nice spot to pick the underdog. BOL tonight!
