#DENvsCIN Game Outlook

The Broncos come in not as explosive on offense but the results are the same with a 11-3 w-l. Manning Mile High will be playing with a thigh contusion tonight but that should not stop him from trying to eat up that Bengals Secondary. RB Ronnie Hillman has added another dimension to the Broncos Attack on the ground and the Bengals must stop Hillman first. Then they must worry about WR's Demaryius Thomas (1,389 yds) and Emmanuel "Go Go" Sanders (1,261) and TE Julius Thomas with Wes Welker still somewhere in that four wide set. Can the Bengals stop the run DT (Geno Atkins)? Can the Secondary slow down Manning as its up to the boys upfront?

The Bengals have their own set of issues but they need a heavy dose of rook RB Jeremy Hill. That would take immense pressure off the "Strawberry Rifle" in Bengals QB Andy Dalton to save the game for the Bengals keeping up with Manning. Giovani Bernard also needs to get touches in the short passing game and situationally (3 WR Sets 1 RB) to off set those Broncos Bookends of DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller.        

Speaking of Ware and Miller can the Bengals O-Line slow them down as they need to keep that offense in 3rd and short and not predictable? The Broncos Secondary will let Aqib Talib go one on one with Bengals WR AJ Green and if he can take away Green lookout! The Bengals WR's must win their one on one battles they have no choice with Dalton in the pocket.

The Broncos win they lock up the #2 seed in the AFC. The Bengals win they have a slight lead for the AFC north title heading into Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Winner: Broncos 27-23....
