Big game with playoff berths and seedings on the line.

 

Who wins and why?

I will be in attendance Monday night, which will be my first time at Paul Brown Stadium this year. I am excited to watch one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, compete in person… Oh, and I'm excited to watch Peyton Manning play too, I guess.

The Broncos. Because they are better.

Broncos. Marvin forgets how to prepare this week.

If New England wins and the Colts lose does Manning even play? The Broncos pretty much don't gain or lose anything by not beating the Bengals. Am I mistaken?

The Broncos will be bringing a full size QB to this affair. And it's prime time. There's 2 strikes.

The Broncos are still playing for not only a first round by but also home field advantage. The Broncos are tied with the Pats right now, however the Pats own the tiebreaker. So if the Pats win, the Broncos have to win to keep pace or else the Pats wrap up homefield.

This is a bad matchup for the Bengals. Broncos receivers are very good, and the Bengals have really struggled with the pass rush in recent game. I don't include Cleveland because that was Manziel's first game. If they rush only four, Manning will sit back and pick them apart, and if they blitz, not sure if DB's can hold up. The only chance the Bengals have is to basically play keep away on offense, and run the ball as much as possible to keep Manning on the sidelines.

 

Also, lets face it. Have the Bengals even given anyone a game in prime time the last 5 years or more. Who Dey! The good news is, the following week if they beat Pittsburgh, they can still win the division if the Raven's don't win out.

Broncos. Do you really need to know why? Everyone already knows the answer.

Ok wasn't sure. If Manning doesn't need to play he won't....Just my opinion! He is a ticking time bomb with a serious injury lurking. Don't wish any injury on any player but it's going to happen sooner than later.

The Bengals need to play Kirpatrick more. His nose(speed) to the football is on a different level than any of the Starting Bengals DB's...IMO!

I'm a homer.:arghh:

Peyton has looked human the last two weeks. Maybe the Bengals have a chance to capitalize...or maybe he finds his groove again. Probably the latter.

The Bengals better be prepared to stop the run. They've pounded the rock pretty efficiently of late. And on the flipside, I'd make sure I gave them a steady dose of Hill.

I'd like the Bengals chances to stay in this game better if they had a healthy Burfict... And if the game was at 1pm on Sunday instead of Primetime....
