Denver Broncos: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#9)

Last week: 9 (+0)

Record: 2-3

From 2006-2010, Peyton Manning was 12-1 ATS as an underdog. This year he is 0-3. Does that mean he’s done or not the same player? Not necessarily. His QB rating is actually 6 points higher than his career average and his completion percentage (66.0%), his YPA (7.7), and his TD/INT ratio (11/3) are all better or equal to his career averages. He’s had a brutal schedule (Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Houston, Oakland, New England) and has still yet to lose by more than 10. He’s got another chance as an underdog this week in San Diego in a pivotal divisional matchup. The Broncos do still rank 4th in the league in yards per play differential
