4. Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas feast.

The Denver Broncos have a couple of absolute studs at the wide receiver position, and both Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas have proven their worth through two games, catching a combined 20 passes.

Considering how well the Broncos have spread the ball around and kept a balanced attack offensively with the running game, the numbers of Thomas and Sanders are not reflective of their effectiveness on a play-to-play basis.

I think in this game against this Buffalo secondary, Sanders and Thomas feast against some of the youth on the back end for the Bills. Of course with Sean McDermott’s crew, you expect a physical game so the Broncos receivers are going to have to be just as aggressive on the other side.

I like the chances of the two veterans in this one going against some youngsters on defense.
