NFL: Denver Broncos vs Buffalo Bills matchup analysis

Coming off a win at home against Cleveland last sunday, the Bills will go in Colorado to play the Denver Broncos, who won an important game last week in Kansas City. The Bills are tied with Miami, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, KC and Cleveland with 7 win and 5 losses, and they are still in playoff contention. Denver share the best record in the AFC with the Patriots, at 9-3.
If the Bills wants to have a chance to win, which is very unlikely to happen, they need their defense to step up early in the game, like they did last week against the Browns. Yes I know that Peyton Manning is not Brian Hoyer, but the Bills defensive front is very very good and they are able to put so much pressure to opposite QB, like they did in Detroit this season, when they beat the Lions. This pressure was highlighted by the AFC player of the month, Mario Williams, the sack machine, but also by the 2 DT Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus and by the other DE, Jerry Hugues, who scored a TD last week after striping the ball from the Browns RB West. With this guy, they should be able to countain the run game of Denver, who is unbelievable since C.J Anderson is the starter. On offense, well this is not the best part of their games, but Buffalo has the players to make big play. Rookie WR Sammy Watkins will have an other tough task going up against CB Aqib Talib, so look for WR Woods or TE Chandler to have good games. RB Fred Jackson need to have a huge game, because that will retire pressure from QB Kyle Orton, who has the bad ability to turn the ball over in the red zone. His offensive line will have a big challenge, as LT Glenn and RT Henderson will face Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware, two great weapon of the Denver D.
In the Broncos side, well they could just let Peyton Manning throw, a thing that the guy out of Tennessee is doing so well since splashing in to the scene with the Colts. WR Thomas and Sanders are the top guy in John Fox offense, but the return of TE Thomas will really help Denver, especially in the red zone. C.J Anderson will have a good test, but the guy out of Cal destroyed the Chiefs D last week, while they were good against the run. Sharing the league lead for TD thrown with Luck, Manning has in his mind that if the Patriots lose in SD later today, Denver will have the best record in the AFC and be at home for a possible showdown with Brady and co in January. On the defensive side, the Broncos need good games by NT Knighton and by the 2 top sackers, RDE Ware and SLB Miller.
Im going with the Broncos in this game, but the defense of Buffalo will hold late Manning. I see WR Thomas as the MVP with the Broncos Offensive line as the X Factor.
