Lots of games this week that should be fairly easy to pick on a straight-up basis. Which means, of course, that we're in for a bunch of surprises.

DEN-CIN 1 CAR-WAS 2 BAL-CLE 1 MIA-IND 1
BUF-HOU 2 MIN-SEA 2 TB-OAK 1 PIT-NYG 2

Yeah, I'm leaning mildly towards the Dolphins, who haven't been as awful as I expected, over the Colts, who also haven't been as awful as I expected. I wouldn't be surprised if it went the other way though. I expect a close, though not good, game.

Chemistry. It takes time.

Peyton will empower this team to be better than they would be without him. We got to complete games against Oakland and the Saints now, Skies the limit my Denver faithful.

Yep, they played 60 minutes against two Super Bowl contenders.  Heck, it could be New Orleans vs. Oakland in the Super Bowl.

This actually made me laugh because it is true. One thing is true the Broncos are the only team to have such dominating defeats against either team showing that this defense could make the team reach the Bears level of success this season (once again I bring up the fact that the hardest part of the season is long gone). Give a little credit to the D considering this is Drew Brees a guy that had the best offense before this game and always has shootouts.


Don't get me wrong, I think that the Broncos are a decent team, but  I would have to say that the Saints suffered because an interim coach just replaced another interim coach.  It has to be a factor.  When you say that the Broncos will possibly reach the Bears level of succes do you mean record?  If so , I could see that happening since the Bears have 8 games against the NFC North while the Broncos have 8 games against the AFC West.  In the end, I expect the Broncos to lose to the Patriots in the playoffs since that's what Peyton Manning usually does.

There are only six divisional games for every team, old man.

And you finished in the top 5 for once. Biggest disappointment in the prediction league after eight weeks is now clearly ljigga.

Old man.  Is that what the chaps in Smersh call each other?  

I finally get to see a PP point or two.  Lucky me.

I clearly have sucked so far this year, but the last 2 weeks I missed PP's off predicting the score of the MNF games.

Come now, Peyton Manning's past is with the Colts and most teams like the Colts usually lose at some point when they make the playoffs all the time because their can be only one. Yes, I am reffering to the fact that you have one more game against the Packers and that Rodgers is now red hot. The Broncos actually have the Jags and and Panthers coming up so we get a chance to play a lot of the same teams as the NFC North this year. The main difference for each team  in the NFC North and the AFC West is that only one team has to play last years three divisional champs from each division. The only three I see on your list are still to come being Houston, San Francisco and later Green Bay again. Considering the Broncos already played each of their divional champ rivals and came out slightly ahead I feel pretty good about them turning things around.

I am still rooting for you against the Pack, do not forget this.
