Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
Time: 4:25 PM (ET) | Sunday
Network: CBS
For the game of the day and week obviously will be the Peyton Manning and the Broncos taking on Tom Brady and the Patriots. Manning has owned the Patriots the last five of seven meetings but it’s going to be very tough to win this one today. Both QBs will try to figure out a way to expose each other’s defense, but I have to give the edge to Patriots strictly because of the experience Tom Brady has with his receivers.
Peyton is coming off a career game in semi-impressive victory last week against Oakland but will have to put up numbers similar to that performance if not better if they want to win this game. The game will be strictly on the Broncos defense stopping the Patriots wide outs and TE Aaron Hernandez who has his way against Denver every year. Realistically, I still see New England winning this game by 6, but I would never count out Peyton Manning who can decipher a defense better than anyone in the NFL.
