River City Sharps
The Colts welcome Peyton Manning and his Broncos to Indy on Sunday in a matchup of the young gun and the old man. This will be the first time Manning will face his old team since they knocked him and the Broncos out of the playoffs last January. It seems like Manning is finally starting to get comfortable in Kubiak’s offense as he threw for a season high 340 yards last week vs. Green Bay. The Broncos actually have the 12th ranked passing attack even though Manning is the 2nd lowest ranked QB in the league. They rely on their defense which is outstanding, ranked 1st in the league. They only give up 16 points a game and lead the league in sacks. The corners can cover and the D-Line gets after the QB. Bad news for Luck and the Colts. He leads the league in interceptions and is the lowest rated QB. He had 3 picks last week, the last leading to the game winning FG. Their offense can score but they turn the ball over way too much, -9 TO margin. The Colts O line will not be able to handle the pass rush of the Broncos and the Colts defense is giving up over 280 yards passing a game. This line seems a little fishy and is probably due to how well the Colts historically have played at home. They have not faced a defense like Denver’s and we don’t see this one staying under double digits. The Sharps say…
3 Units – Denver Broncos (-5.5)

HALL OF FAME PICKS
NFL GOY
452 Pittsburgh Steelers(-4)
The Steelers just got their qb back and are coming into a bounce back situation, after the tough loss to the Bengals. The Raiders are in a let down situation after blowing out the Jets. Most importantly though the Raiders(west coast team) are traveling to play an early kickoff game in the ET zone in which very few of these teams cover(3 hour time difference). The Raiders have already lost as a TD favorite to the Bears earlier this year in the same situation. Heath Miller will have a big game, as the Raiders don’t cover tight ends well and the Steelers will roll!
