CBS.....65 and sunny....4 p.m. EST

over-under is 49....

Raiders have run for 524 yards all season.. Derek Carr has been fine...

176 for 280, 1,711....11 TDs, 7 interceptions..

...Emmanuel Sanders has 57 catches for 785 yards..New FG kicker Matt McManus if 6 of 9 so far..

Wes Welker questionablee for Denver..Rookie linebacker Corey Benson to start at LB for injured Nate Irving..

Oakland has lost 14 in a row....Denver has not lost 2 in a row since September of 2012..

11. 1/2 is a lot but Oakland has a lot of trouble scoring. Denver and the 'under' seems logical..

word is the Broncos may redo their offensive line with RT Paul Cornick doubtful for this game

...there have been published reports they will move RG Louis Vasquez to RT....move center Manny Ramirez back to RG (his natural position)....and insert Will Montgomery, the old Washington Redskins center they picked up in the offseason...

They want to run better and they've bee unhappy at RT all year.

a major change at mid-season,. if it's true

So the Broncos are actually having to deal with injuries for once like every other team in the NFL this year?  They've been the luckiest team in the league as far as injuries are concerned... I knew that kind of fortune couldn't last and now they have to adapt and overcome just like EVERYBODY ELSE..

I know you forgot that they lost 2 linebackers Danny Trevethan (he's only played 2 games) and Nate Irving..starting a rookie OLB today..its been an issue all season. Montee Ball has been out 4 weeks..was out in the preseason...

But no, they don't have 6 defensive starters out for the year like they did last year

Also if anyone has noticed Peyton has thrown for a TD in 48 straight games. That passes Unitas.

A record that stood for 50 years has been broken by 3 people in less than a year now. Insane.

Unitas was the man who set the blueprint for how the game is played today!

He just blew my mind when I was a kid in the '60's.

Peyton is such a stat monger, his running backs are averaging 6 to 7 yards per carry, yet he was throwing with four wide receiver formations. Fantasy football king, playoff underachiever because he will not let his RBs overachieve, IMO

is that why he is on the bench now?

Putting the game out of reach and taking a seat. Nothing wrong with that.

 

The RB's have a chance to prove their worth against teams that don't suck, and usually run in to a brick wall putting the entire offense on the passing game. They haven't achieved anything...Denver's run attack is like 27th in the NFL in spite of teams usually defending the pass. I think they lit NE up for a whopping 40 yards or something on the ground.

 

The RBs, and secondary, will get another chance to prove their merit against good QB's and defenses in the playoffs. In all likelihood,a one dimensional offense and defense won't be able to win in the playoffs. Even if the passing attack and run defense are good, they can't carry the team every time against well rounded opposition.

 

That's not even counting their atrocious special teams and coaching staff that refuses to change things up defensively.

Seems like a bit of a reach, Chad...the RBs were hurting..as were Okland DBs

he only played 3 quarters...ben threw for 6 TDs two weeks in a row
