The Denver Broncos are coming into Week 6 as historic favorites in their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and it is likely for good reason, as the team has scored more in one game than the Jags have all season and after going all out in a crazy game with the Cowboys, people are expecting Peyton Manning and company to coast in the game that is on CBS Sunday afternoon at 4:05 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Manning started the season with a seven touchdown performance and since then he has not slowed down and he now has 20 TDs and just one interception this season and he has directed an offense that has scored over 40 points in every game but one this season and in that other game they scored 37. Manning has been fantastic and it's like he is playing a video game and last week it felt that way in the 51-48 win against the Dallas Cowboys on the road and now they have huge odds against the Jaguars at home and this could be one of the biggest lopsided victories ever.
The Broncos are 5-0 this season and while the defense is giving up a ton of passing yards, it is mostly because the team has gotten out to such big leads and they are ranked first in the league in rushing yards allowed per game and first in passing yards per game. The team has a solid rushing attack with Montee Ball, Ronnie Hillman and Knowshon Moreno, while they also have too many weapons to count on offense in Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas and that leaves just too many players to defend.
Manning has been stellar this season with over 1,800 yards passing and 20 touchdowns and Moreno is leading the way with over 300 rushing yards and four touchdowns, while Hillman is second on the team. Thomas is leading the team with 34 catches for 450 yards and four TDs and Decker has also added over 400 yards and four touchdowns and they all could put up big numbers on Sunday. The team may even get to use backup Brock Osweiler if it gets out of hand, while the Jaguars will be looking at Maurice Jones-Drew, Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon to be solid fantasy options.
The Broncos have a tough second half schedule, but they could be undefeated into their bye, as they play the Colts next week with Andrew Luck and then meet with Robert Griffin III before having a bye. The team then will have three of the next four on the road, including against San Diego and at the New England Patriots. The team also has two games against the Chiefs over three weeks and those two games could be what decides the AFC West and then the team finished with the Titans and the Chargers at home before the final two games against the Texans and Raiders.
