This is a Free #NFL play on the New York #Jets.

The Broncos won big at home over Arizona last week, and they come into New York as a double-digit favorite this Sunday. The Jets have been dreadful since winning at home versus Oakland in Week 1. Things change fast in this league though, and there are a few reasons why I expect a competitive game here at Metlife Stadium.

Last week Manning threw for 472 yards and four TDs, and Denver won by a 21 point margin. The game was a lot closer than it sounds though, Arizona trailed by just four points heading into the fourth quarter. In fact if it wasn't for an injury to Drew Stanton, the score could have been even closer.

Geno Smith has struggled at quarterback for New York, but he could get a boost with the return of star wideout Eric Decker this week. Decker will be looking to stick it to Denver just like Steve Smith did to the Panthers earlier in the year.

As good as Denver has looked in the passing game, they haven't had as much success running the football, and losing Monte Ball with a groin injury isn't going to help.

Peyton Manning knows not to expect a picnic in New York: "This is a stout defense; tough against the run, causes you a lot of pass protection issues, No. 1 in sacks, a lot of three-and-outs," Manning said.

Take NYJ.
