The carolina/giants game is at 52 which is accurate considering both powerful offenses and very weak defenses, but i can't possibly imagine this game going over 52. Both teams have solid D's, broncos strong on the rushing D and not that bad in the secondary with bailey. Yes the broncos did put up 31 pts against the steelers but the last touchdown came from an interception from Roth and the broncos had great field possession on the 20 yard line, the steelers had fallen apart at that moment with the fact that the game was over for them, so i think the public is overreacting a bit with that. As for Peyton, i think this will be a bigger test for him. First road game against a good falcon team. But regardless i think manning and the broncos offense will find a way to get it done one way or another but it won't be easy.On the other hand Atlanta doesn't have a running game. They are a 1 dimensional offense relying solely on the aerial attack for pts. Turner can't seem to get it done on the ground, and jacquizz roders is unproven as of now. Sure they put up 40 pts against the chiefs, lol, but so did the ailing bills whose defense allowed 48 pts in week 1. I think any decent NFL team can easily put up 30-40 pts against the chiefs D, yet again another misconception of the public. If the Falcons can figure a way out to get it done with the running game and do what they did in KC with their aerial attack then this game will easily go over. But i just don't see that happening with the broncos. I predict a tough, hard fought game. score should be no more than something like 27-21..
