The true key to this game is the battle in the trenches. Denver must find ways to keep their quarterback Joe Flacco upright and the pressure on the defensive side to get to Jacoby Brissett. If Denver can find ways to create a pass rush, then the chances for turnovers can be higher.

On the offensive side the Broncos must keep the identity of running the football and creating opportunities for Courtland Sutton in passing game. The players like DaeSean Hamilton who has seen an uptick then any of the others will need to show he belongs as a true number two receiver.

Normally I would rather just pick the Broncos to win and be wrong about it, but the Colts are white hot right now and something tells me there’s a chance this game at home against Denver could be a little bit of a trap game. Let’s keep in mind — the Broncos have a really strong defense when they’re on their game, and if Flacco and the offense give pretty much anything on the side of ‘good’, this Broncos team is good enough to win. I’m going to say the Colts win just because they’re the home team and Denver is fresh off an ugly loss, but I won’t be surprised if the Broncos win this game either.

Well, the Denver Broncos are not doing so hot. And they are going into a tough game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are coming off huge wins over the Chiefs and Texans. But in all honesty, teams have to cool off at some point.

Yes, it is looking bleak for the Denver Broncos right now. And it does not help that this game has been moved to a 1 PM start time. But something inside of me believes that the Broncos come away with the win. This season, Indy is 1-2 against the AFC West. Not a stellar record, but as long as Denver can keep it close, I like their chances.
