Nobody is giving Denver a chance in Indy. Nobody!! But, the Broncos could pull off the biggest upset of the weekend. It will be difficult, but Denver is capable of doing it.
The Colts have the great passing game and Peyton Manning, they have Edgerrin James, and they have the Dome. But they don't have the defense. The Colts have a swagger and could be looking ahead to New England. Next to the Eagles, I think the Colts are the most upsettable team in the playoffs. They will score 24-31 points, that is almost a given. But, if they don't score more than that, Denver could burn this defense for a lot of points and beat them 35-31 or 38-35.
The Broncos must do many things well to pull it off. They must run the ball and control the clock. If Denver's time of possession surpasses 35 minutes, they are on the right track. They must score on almost every possession and it must be TDs, not FGs. That is something the Broncos struggled with all year. Plummer can't make a mistake, a tall order for Jake! And the defense must get pressure on Manning and get physical with the Colts' receivers. Make Edgerrin James beat you, not Manning!
The Colts just have to play well and not turn the ball over. They have a great offense and should win this game. But if they are thinking about the Patriots, the Broncos will slap them down.
