Keys to Victory
The Broncos don’t need to do anything out of the ordinary to win this one. They have a seismic talent advantage and simply need to play its game. The Jets have a weak secondary, so Peyton Manning and Co. need to attack it all day long. On the other side of the ball, the Broncos need to pressure Jets quarterback Geno Smith and force him into some mistakes. Smith is playing with little confidence right now, so making him even more uncomfortable than he is qualifies as a must.
For the Jets, they are going to somehow have to slow down Manning. It won’t be easy considering how quickly Manning gets the ball away, but New York’s pass-rushers will have to find a way to make life rough on him. Offensively, New York badly needs Smith to have a breakout game. This Jets defense won’t be able to stop Manning, so New York will have to put points on the board to come away with a win.
Betting Odds
Point Spread: Broncos (-9.5)
Moneyline: NYJ: 365, DEN: -435
O/U: 47.5
Prediction
There will be no enormous upset here. Manning and the Broncos will take care of business here and blowout the lowly Jets. New York simply doesn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with Manning or the defense to keep Denver from scoring at will. This one could get ugly quick.
Final Score: Broncos 38 Jets 7
