The Broncos haven't played that well yet still have managed to beat the Colts and Chiefs each by seven points at home. It's time the Broncos played their "A" game for four quarters.

Denver has covered 13 of its last 18 regular-season home games when favored since 2012.

Peyton Manning should be able to exploit the soft underbelly of the Cardinals, who are down key linebackers from last year and have no pass rush minus Darnell Dockett and John Abraham. Arizona only has three sacks on the season.

Backup Drew Stanton is a downgrade from Carson Palmer more game manager than downfield attacker. He is not going to be able to keep up with Manning.

The Broncos have upgraded both their run defense and pass defense from a year ago.
