Arguably the two best teams in the NFL face off in an AFC West divisional game. The last undefeated team the Kansas City Chiefs and arguably the MVP this season Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos square off tonight. It will be the NFL’s best offense against the NFL’s best defense. It does not get much better if you are a football fan.
Unfortunately, Peyton Manning will likely be playing at less than 100 percent. Manning is still dealing with a high ankle sprain that was re-aggrivated last week against the San Diego Chargers. Look for the Chiefs defensive front to exploit Manning’s injury. These two teams are very different. The Chiefs have a hard hitting defense with a very safe and accurate offense. The Broncos also have a hard hitting defense, not quite as good as the Chiefs, but their offense is by far the most explosive in the league. Alex Smith will have to carry this team as the Broncos are very good at stopping the run. They have had a lot of problems controlling the passing game and this may finally be the game that Smith takes some shots down the field.
This is a great matchup, but I will give the edge to the home team, the Denver Broncos. As hobbled as Manning may be , it is still Peyton Manning, He will find a way to get it done tonight. The Chiefs will try and pressure him all night, but this Broncos offensive line will finally play better. Broncos vs. Chiefs- who you takin?
