Looks like there's a lot of sharp money coming in on GB and Minny. I have no expectations that this will be another snoozer.

I generally don't bet on the vikes but I'll take 100 vs u and 100 vs Sando if he wants it.

Yeah +5 seems ok in 0 degree temps but they still prob lose by a touchdown

Packers seems ok too because Washington, etc

Kc -3.5 still a crazy line imo

Starting Manning is the safer play for Kubiak's career/reputation (lose because you started Peyton that's on Peyton, lose because you benched Peyton that's on you etc).

Lol Manning. Broncos one and done this year. Unless they face the Texans.

Winning playoff games is the best "play" for your rep

Texans only home team winning this week. I got Manning falling in another Superbowl to Palmer. That defense will carry him far enough even if he's mediocre which would be an improvement from his earlier season form.

I think if you are starting a season and expecting to play 19-20 games then Manning probably can't make it through that playing at a high level. But all he needs to do is play 3 games now with 2 of them coming after a bye week. He should be much fresher physically because of this.

His best game of the season was probably against GB off the bye when Denver killed them. Granted GB couldn't get a 1st down that game but he did look much sharper.

Denver also running the ball better now which they weren't doing earlier in the year.

Of course, but you need to be 100% positive Manning is a significantly better play than Brock to make that call is what I'm saying. Basically if it's a coin flip you go Peyton every time.

Seems like not having your center for a road playoff game could be bad for KC

OL was terrible, he could've been hurt, still playing without bye weeks, etc

Nobody is saying he is going to be vintage Manning with more rest but it should help him a lot.

i'm certainly no gritty linemen aficionado but morse was a rookie who was supposedly a pretty big reach in the draft. i think he has been solid enough but i don't think fulton is too much of a drop off

ofc if someone wanted to come in and say i'm full of **** i wouldn't really argue
