This appears to be a huge mis-match on paper but I have a feeling that the Chiefs are going to come to play in this game.  Still, the Broncos would have to be looking ahead to get beat by the lowly Chiefs.  The Chiefs are allowing 204.0 yards rushing per game and 5.5 yards per carry this season so look for Selvin Young, Andre Hall and Michael Pittman to all get there fair share of yards tomorrow.  But, the Broncos will likely want to pass to get the lead before running the ball to essentially take Larry Johnson out of the Chiefs’ offensive gameplan.  WRs Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal will be attacking the Chiefs deep while Brandon Stokley and TE Tony Scheffler will be working the short zones for the Broncos.

The Chiefs don’t want to get in a shootout tomorrow as they don’t think they can beat the Broncos at their game.  With that in mind look for the Chiefs to give the ball to Larry Johnson a lot.  In fact he might need a few breathers with rookie Jamaal Charles getting some carries tomorrow.  Still, with Damon Huard starting at QB the Chiefs should be able to throw the ball some against a Broncos’ defense that is allowing a stunning 315.7 yards passing per game this season.

Obviously Jay Cutler appears to be on his way to becoming one of the best QBs in the NFL.  He was solid last season but he is taking his game to a completely new level in 2008.  He has completed 73 of 108 passes (67.6%) for 914 yards with 8 TD passes and 2 interceptions (110.6 QB Rating).  The Broncos are averaging 38.0 points per game and 432.0 yards of offense per game and Jay Cutler’s play is the number 1 reason for that.

The Broncos somehow held on against the Saints despite allowing 502 total yards of offense.  Jay Cutler had another real solid game for the Broncos completing 21 of 34 passes for 264 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 interception.  Selvin Young led the way on the ground for the Broncos with 65 yards rushing on 11 carries (5.9 ypc).  Brandon Marshall had his second incredible game in a row with 155 yards on 6 catches (25.8 avg) with a TD grab.  The Broncos finished up with 105 yards rushing on 24 carries (4.4 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 34 passes for 264 yards.

LB D.J. Williams led the way for the Broncos’ defense in this game with 16 tackles.  Fellow linebacker Nate Webster also had a great game as he had 12 tackles and a fumble recovery that he returned 34-yards for a TD.  LB Boss Bailey pitched in with 9 tackles in this game.  The Saints finished up with 88 yards rushing on 25 carries (3.5 ypc) and they also completed 39 of 48 passes for 414 yards.  The Broncos are now 3-0 on the season with this win.

This should be a very exciting game between two teams with great offenses and very little defense.  Drew Brees will be in attack mode tomorrow against a Broncos’ defense that is allowing 266.5 yards passing per game and opposing QBs have a 116.3 QB Rating against them so far.  TE Jeremy Shockey will get a lot of work in this game against the safeties of the Broncos who have not played well this season.  The Broncos are also allowing 115.0 yards rushing per game and 4.8 ypc so look for Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas to be very busy against them.

The Broncos will likely come out running the ball with Selvin Young, Andre Hall and Michael Pittman against a Saints’ defense that is allowing 147.5 yards rushing per game and 5.8 ypc.  But don’t think for a minute that QB Jay Cutler isn’t going to attack a defense that is allowing 256.0 yards passing per game.  WRs Brandon Marshall, rookie Eddie Royal and TE Tony Scheffler have all been dominating this season for the Broncos and they should all have good games against the Saints.

The Broncos have traded WR Keary Colbert to the desperate Seahawks for a late round draft pick in 2009.  Colbert played in both games for the Broncos this season but he didn’t catch any passes.  Colbert wasn’t likely to get to play much due to the depth at WR of the Broncos so getting something for him was a very, very smart move.
