Here’s your stupid Broncos / Titans prediction
“And now the Titans have at quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. He’s a hairy journeyman career backup who has been doing a nice job as their starter. With the shape that Denver’s secondary is in I think that the bearded one can have some success through the air.”

I don’t take the Titans very seriously. I don’t think most Broncos fans do. Maybe we should. It’s just that they have such dreadful nineties colors and that their logo is so lame. Seriously, the Tennessee Titans uniforms make them look like a team from a cheap Hollywood movie. It’s hard to intimidate when your look says “Keanu Reeves played me in the film”.
There was some talk of Peyton Manning becoming the quarterback of the Titans back in 2011. Bud Adams, the batshit crazy old bastard that owns them was reportedly offering Manning a stake in the club. Peyton was, of course, the man at Tennessee in his collegiate days so the Titans seemed to be a real contender, but the Broncos got him instead.
And now the Titans have at quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. He’s a hairy journeyman career backup who has been doing a nice job as their starter. With the shape that Denver’s secondary is in I think that the bearded one can have some success through the air. I expect him to have two touchdown strikes in the cold of Denver on Sunday. Add to that a rushing TD for Chris Johnson and a field goal and Tennessee racks up a total of 24 points against Denver’s defense. Not a bad day for a somewhat limited offense in bad weather.
The Titans defense, which is known for it’s strength against the outside pass, is going to limit the Broncos’ effectiveness downfield, force two turnovers and make Manning uncomfortable all day, sacking him three times and knocking him down four more.
But Manning will bounce back.
Bud Adams is going to get a taste of what he missed out on this week. Fueled by his anger over the constant chatter about his ineffectiveness in cold weather Peyton Manning is going to have another spectacular game, throwing for over 350 yards and four touchdowns on a day with a high temperature under twenty degrees. It’s what he needs to do. He knows it and it’s going to happen.
Just watch.
The Broncos offense is not going to be pretty on every series but when it clicks it will click – just like it has all season. The Titans don’t stand a prayer of keeping up. Not a prayer. They’re not a bad team but the Broncos are really, really good … most of the time.
Wes Welker is going to have a huge day. He’s due. Montee Ball, too, is due – and he’s going to rack up over 100 yards rushing – ON TOP of Knowshon’s 80 plus. Matt Prater will score five points, all on PATs.
It’s going to be a another big day for the Denver offense despite the conditions at Mile High. Manning’s march into the record books will continue. The Broncos will win, 35-24 and next week the buzz on local sports talk radio will be about whether or not we can put the whole Manning / cold weather thing to bed and start talking about how can’t play when it’s windy.
