The last game of the Divisional Playoff round will feature Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts taking on Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos at 4:40 pm on Sunday at Mile High Stadium. The year that Manning missed the whole season due to nerve issues in his neck, the Colts had the worst record in the league and were Lucky enough to get the first pick in the draft. This was the year that Andrew Luck entered the draft and was being praised by sports fans as the best QB prospect to enter the draft since Peyton. Instead of re-signing aging and injured Manning, the Colts decided to try their Luck with Andrew. Now fast forward 3 years and Luck has been everything that the Colts hoped he would be and more, but if they want to make a realistic run at the Super Bowl, then they will need to defeat their old friend Peyton Manning.
These two teams met in the first week of the season in Denver, where the Broncos got up early in the game, but Luck and the Colts came storming back, but unfortunately could not overcome the early deficit and lost 31-24. Luck and Manning have squared off two times over Luck’s 3-year career and the series is knotted at 1 piece. This would be the first time that they will face each other in the playoffs.

Both teams have quick striking potent offenses so regardless of who takes the early lead, this game is most likely going to be decided on the final drive of the game. The biggest difference in these two teams is that Denver has a much better overall defense than the Colts. The Denver pass defense is ranked 9th overall and only allowing 225.4 yards per game, and their run defense is ranked 2nd best allowing only 79.8 yards per game. The Colts defense is decent against the pass allowing 229.3 yards per game, which ranks them 12th best, but their run defense is below average allowing 113.4 yards per game, which ranks them 18th best. If the Colts are going to win this game they are actually going to have to stop CJ Anderson, before trying to tame Manning. If the Colts can limit the damage caused by Anderson, then they can make the Broncos offense more one dimensional.
The best bookie software sites in the world like www.AcePerHead.com have the Broncos as the -7 point favorite, and at the moment, double the amount of the action is in the home town Broncos. The Broncos have been winning, however, they have been in some close games recently and look vulnerable. In addition, it seems like this season is wearing on Manning, so it is hard to tell how much he has left in the tank. This is a dangerous matchup for the Broncos because they are facing a QB that can definitely go punch for punch with their hall of fame QB, so I would take the points and wager on the younger Colts.
