Flacco is extremely underrated. Maybe because he's a lousy fantasy QB. Whatever. He is clutch and he makes big time throws down field. Against a Broncos defense that won't get much pressure on him, he will tear them up.
Manning will certainly score points, but I think the Ravens D will give him problems. Denver has no running game to keep them honest.
You completely ignored the Mile High advantage. Early in the year defenses get gassed and scores are high. Take that to the thin Denver air and it spells trouble for any defense in the league. Evidence of that was the difference between the first half and the second.
Sorry about the hindsight. I just got to the thread too late.
The altitude is an advantage to the Broncos NO MATTER WHERE they play.
People who live at that altitude develop superior re-oxygenation abilities that show up even at sea level.
Our trip to Invesco you could SEE how it effected us.
When the Broncos played the "hogmollie" Packers in thier first SB win so much was made of how much bigger GB's D line was than Denvers o-line,I kept tellin' people yeah but the diff is ALL fat.
Manning is the perfect QB for Invesco, he can keep a defense from subbing like no other,IMO they are headed for the SB ,only injuries will stop them, other teams sure aren't going to.
