Tebow Vs Orton back in the Mile High Stadium
Tim Tebow is back home and playing the AFC West as he has just played the last two games Vs the AFC East as he faced the Patriots @ home and the Bills in Buffalo and the magical Tebow touch has been not so magical with Tebow throwing four interception Vs Buffalo and no comeback Vs the Pats. So now he faces the guy who he replaced coming back to where he had been booed by his home fans and he has had 300 yards in both of his starts as a KC Chiefs with a win over the Packers where he completed 3 of every 4 pass and then throw two interceptions in a loss to the Oakland Raiders and he will be trying to move the second worst scoring team down the field to score as they have average less than 2 touchdown and the 25th passing offense with less than 200 yards a game but does have 119 rushing yards a game. He is going up against a defense that gives up 127 a game on the ground and 235 through the air so the Chiefs will need a good game from three head running game of Jackie Battle, Thomas Jones, and Dexter McCluster while Orton moves the sticks. The Broncos offense run through their running game lead by the combo of Willis McGahee and Tim Tebow who have run for 1718 yards this seasons while Tebow has thrown for 1669 yards this season with 12 touchdowns to 5 interceptions (4 last week). It will be up to the Broncos defense to keep the game low scoring going into the fourth quarter so that Tebows can spread his fourth quarter magic and I think that Tebow will be up for late game heroics in the biggest Broncos' game in a number of seasons.
The ghost of Al Davis Vs Phillip Rivers
So if the Broncos lose than the Oakland Raiders with their lost of their legendary owner Al Davis earlier this season will try to make the playoffs behind Carson Palmer who was brought because Jason Campbell had a season ending injury in game 6 of the season and were on a roll when he went down but since then they have been struggling mightily since then. So Carson Palmer who has average 277 yards passing in his 8 starts but has thrown 12 interception and 11 Touchdowns in his starts and he will be going up against Phillip Rivers has thrown for 4314 yards and 287.5/a game and has 24 Touchdowns and 19 interceptions. On the ground Michael Bush will try and help take the pressure off Palmer against the Chargers run defense that give up 123.5 yards a game on the defense and the Chargers Ryan Mathews will try and gain yards on the ground against the Raiders rush defense that has given up 135 yards on the ground.
I believe that the Chargers will win this game as it will be the last game that Norv Turner will coach the Chargers and Phillip Rivers will put up yards through the air and has a good 24 TDs on the seasons and the only way that the Raiders win the game is if Phillips has a multi-interception game.
Lets see who will win the AFC West
