Broncos vs Vikings, make a prediction

[Sinfix_15]

How many yards passing will Tebow have? how many would he need to hold back the critics? What stat line would you expect from a 2nd year QB in this game?



I'm picking this game as the "break out" game. Have seen steady improvement passing the last 3 weeks with last week being the most efficient passing of the year. The Vikings could be the most suspect passing defense on the schedule for the Broncos and they too are starting a young rookie QB in Christian Ponder. Ponder, unlike Tebow will be facing a formidable defense when these two teams pair up. I expect the Vikings to throw a pick or 2 and make things easy for the Broncos offense. Reports say Harvin is going to tip off the Vikings to some of Tebow's schemes, but what really can he tell them that they dont already know? I expect the Vikings to commit hard to stopping the run which is going to leave their already bad secondary in some easy situations for Tebow. The Broncos dont march down the field on Tebow's arm with 5-7 yard passes, but they do go deep pretty often when they do pass. I expect the Vikings secondary to get beat on play action probably twice deep. It's been a pretty steady routine for Tebow to have a "stat saving" play action bomb in every game so far. I'm looking for 2+ in this game.

Stat line prediction for Air Tebow - 15/27 230 yards 2 TDs.

considering Miller and Royal are questionable, and Mcgahee is probable......................

I think they will win, i dont think it will be by a lot, adrian peterson is expected to return (questionable) and if he does then that will be interesting for the Broncos Defense.

Broncos win, by 14 points or less, tebow throws for 1, rushes for 1, throwing stats are mediocre. I say he doesnt break 100 yards. The broncos will looks to keep it on the ground and run the option to ensure a win, because their next three games are stacking up to be Losses. You wont see them try anything different here.

Miller, Royal and Mcgahee all practiced this week. they should play, but may have limited reps.

Bronocs win 17-13. Even if Peterson plays he wont be 100% and Minnesota will limit his carries. Miller has been on the injury list for most of the year if i remember correctly and hasnt missed any real time. Royal is a threat in the punting game but not much in the offense.

Tebow will throw for 50% and around 120yards. he will have more rushing attempts than passing attempts.

Wont make a measurable difference this weekend. Gerhart is good enough.

even though it seems that the majority of people expect the Broncos to win, almost 80% according to ESPN's poll. Vegas has the Broncos as a 1 1/2 point underdog. Broncos have been an underdog in all of Tebow's starts so far.

This isnt going to change until Tebow can show he can put points on the board. Vegas doesnt like the fact that a single big play by the Bronocs opponent can change the game so dramaticly.
