@KC in early Dec is as certain of a loss for Denver as there is, especially with how improved KC is this year. I think KC will win 14 or 15 games. Their defense is really good, and despite having Captain Checkdown at QB, it actually works for them because they're content to play ball control. They'll need to score against Denver, but I could see the games being 28-24 type of affairs. Denver still has tough games at Houston and at NE, but NE doesn't look nearly as tough of a team this year. Of course, the game is a couple months away so we could be looking at an entirely different team.

Denver plays the Jags this week, and it will be nice to have gotten through the Von Miller suspension at 6-0 despite yesterday's putrid defensive performance. Miller and Bailey should be back after that, and I expect Denver to go in to the bye week at 8-0. The game against Indy will be tough on the road, but I don't see Manning going back there and losing that one.

Houston is really bad right now. I can't figure out why the Seahawks had such a tough time with them aside from the fact that Seattle just isn't a good road team yet.

Cincy is a physical team, they may have the best front 7 in the league and New England always has trouble with teams like that (see the Ravens and Niners last year -- at least the first two and a half quarters of that Niners game before Justin Smith went down). That said, New England has not looked particularly good this year and they're without their best defensive player for the remainder of the season.

The problem in my mind is Peyton Manning in cold weather. We saw this with Brett Favre for years at the end of his career and it seems we saw it in that game against the Ravens in the playoffs last year -- some of these old QBs don't play well in cold weather (which in turn makes me wonder about Tom Brady). I'm pretty sure Denver or KC will be the #1 seed in the AFC this year with Indy having an outside shot. I think Denver would beat Indy easily on the road in the playoffs. But KC and Denver would be cold venues and on top of that they're holding the Super Bowl in freaking New Jersey which is beyond idiotic.

I still think Denver is the best team in the league, but I'm assuming their defense gets better when Von Miller gets back. But KC's defense is loaded -- Flowers, Berry, Poe, Houston and Johnson. They're the 2011 Niners with better offensive skill players. It is amusing to see Dwayne Bowe have marginal stats, same ol' Alex Smith who doesn't know how to throw to his WRs.

Funny twitter exchange between Jags and Broncos.

Julio Jones out for the year with a foot injury.

Wow. Makes me wonder if he hurt it on that ridiculous one-handed catch with Cromartie draped all over him.

[FN Phat]

I believe he hurt it on the drop that he had. May explain it.

The NFC South is a mess aside from New Orleans.

I saw this picture the other day and it made me laugh. I just wish someone could do a bit better with the photoshop.

Nice article on Jordan Camerons transition from BYU hoops player to NFL tightend. Uncle Pete is still dirty

Dirty indeed.

More like an opportunistic!

What's the history there? Did he favor hoops, or did Bronco and company not show interest on the football side?

TMZ is reporting that Adrian Peterson left the Vikings because his two year old son was abused by the mothers boyfriend. His son is in critical condition and the boyfriend has been arrested.
