NFL Betting – It’s a Mile High Shootout as Broncos and Eagles Meet

Denver Broncos 2014
Evidence suggests that it is nearly impossible to stop the Denver Broncos, although they have not been completely invincible against the NFL betting odds. On Sunday afternoon they get a chance to take their record to 3-0 with a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, set to kick off at 4:25 PM ET at Sports Authority Field in Denver.

Of course, this game matches up two of the NFL’s most high-powered offenses, and most folks who are looking at the total on this game are expected points to be put up at a furious pace.

In the NFL betting odds that have been posted on this game at BetAnySports, the Broncos are laying double digits:

Will Peyton Manning be able to extend the NFL record he currently holds? Of course, we’re talking about the record he established by throwing twelve touchdown passes in his first three games of the season. And he’s been spotless from the turnover standpoint.

What looms as very important for anyone looking at the game from a pro football betting perspective is that the Broncos are also taking steps toward making the running game something of relevance. Whether it is Knowshon Moreno, who rambled for 93 yards against the Giants in Week 2, or the Ronnie Hillman-Montee Ball combo, which combined for over 120 yards against Oakland, this can be a valuable asset for the Broncos as they keep opposing defenses off Manning’s back. Don’t forget that Ryan Clady is out for the year with a foot injury, so Manning will need defensive coordinators to worry about more than just teeing off on him in the pocket.

The Eagles always have something for opposing defensive coordinators to worry about, and of course the basis for that is the hurry-up, no-huddle offense that Chip Kelly brought over form his days at Oregon. What happens as a result of some of this is that the Eagles get that offense off the field quickly as well. When that happens, the defense will invariably have to log more time on the gridiron. if you think time of possession is a useful handicapping factor in NFL betting at BetAnySports, you should know that Philadelphia doesn’t win those battles. In fact, they have held the ball for less than 25 minutes a game. And that kind of thing is guaranteed to keep their stop unit on the field for a long time.

Can you imagine what Peyton Manning could do against a tired defense? If you guessed “plenty,” you’re probably right.
