Last year, the Denver Broncos rode Peyton Manning to the Super Bowl. After a December swoon, the experts see the future Hall of Famer returning to form to take out the visiting Indianapolis Colts.
While the Colts are considered underdogs, they have the ability to win any game due to their quarterback. Andrew Luck is one of the few players in the league who can take over a game by himself and will his team to victory. Against the Cincinnati Bengals, Luck broke tackles, created extra time with his legs, and threw strikes including a high-difficulty throw to Donte Moncrief in the corner of the end zone. Even against a great team like Denver, Luck has the ability to keep Indianapolis competitive.
The major question for the
Broncos is whether the time off will help Peyton Manning overcome his
recent struggles. Over his last four games, Manning has tossed just
three touchdowns and thrown six interceptions, the worst stretch of his
time in Denver. The dip in performance raised questions about Manning's
health and perhaps whether he might be nearing the end of his storied
career. A strong showing in the playoffs would go a long way towards
silence his critics.
The experts are nearly all in on the Broncos this week. Every member of CBS Sports' eight-man panel sees Peyton Manning and company rolling this weekend.
