AFC West Previews: Manning vs Brady

In Week Five of the NFL season (It’s Week Five already?) an old rivalry is renewed as the Denver Broncos travel to the Boston area to take the New England Patriots. Brady once held a 6-0 lead on Manning. That lead is now 8-4. The Broncos go into the game at 2-2 coming off a blowout of the Oakland Raiders. The Patriots also come in at 2-2 following a blowout of the Buffalo Bills.

Bookmaker has Denver +6 -110 or +230. The Patriots are -6.5 -110 or -270. Over/under is 52. We like the over and we also the Denver with 6.5.

The San Diego Chargers visit the New Orleans Saints. The Chargers are 3-1 while the Saints are 0-4. Despite this the Chargers are +3 +115 or +160. The Saints are -3 -135 or -190. Over/under is 52.5. Drew Brees may be a little extra motivated to beat his old team, but we still like the Chargers at +165.

The Baltimore Ravens are at the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens are -6 -110 or -265. The Chiefs are +6 -110 or +225. Over/under is 47. The Ravens are a Super Bowl contender. The Chiefs are just trying to get to .500. We like the Ravens -6.

The Oakland Raiders are off this week.

A Denver win and San Diego loss will leave the teams tied for first. It is more likely the Chargers will win and the Broncos will lose, putting San Diego up by two games.
