Just what I was looking for...
Last year was the first year we saw Peyton regress and start to show his age. One year older and you take his best weapons away. Welker suspension, Decker and Moreno left to other teams. The OLine needed to be fixed and it was glaring in the SB but was ignored as Elway decided to rebuild the entire defense with 9 new starters. Yes they are talented but I don't care if you have 11 All Pros playing their first meaningful game together it will take time to trust each other and learn the system. They are not stopping Luck, a healthy Wayne, Hilton or Nicks.
No Mathis but they'll get pressure against this OLine with bliztes, Arien is not dumb. The biggest key for me is Indy last year was the only team to stop the Broncos WR's playing up and hitting the crap out of them holding them to under 20 points until late in the game. There are so many question marks coming into game 1 for the Broncos that I can't pass up the points. I know Peyton in prime time but this isn't the same QB as years past and so much turnover from last year, lots of new faces laying big points means trouble.
