Liking this be the professional come out of Tim Tebow? It makes a lot of sense to bring the preceding Florida Gator into this game at some point for Denver, as this is essentially a de facto serene game for the duration of Tebow, who played his high school ball in Jacksonville. It’s bad enough for the Jags that the crowd indubitably wouldn’t be a flog betray out without Denver fans in attendance, but if No. 15 comes into the game, all of a sudden, there will be a lot of people cheering for the visitors.
As in behalf of the rest of the Broncos that will take the field on Sunday, this is clearly a great spot for Kyle Orton to be in. Yes, Orton now has Tebow looking over his fraternize with for his starting job, but thanks to a good training camp, he has already cashed in with a lucrative contract extension and inclination get to take on a defense that isn’t adept at rushing the passer and doesn’t have the greatest secondary in the world.
Speaking of quarterbacks looking over their shoulders, what about David Garrard in Jacksonville? He was without doubt outperformed by Luke McCown in the preseason and might be in a bite in which he could be benched if he doesn’t play well.
The running game might be damaged by Maurice Jones-Drew’s nagging knee issues. He isn’t expected to miss this game, as he isn’t even on the injury report, but if Jones-Drew goes down, the Jags don’t tease the depth behind him to make up for his absence.
Keep a close eye on Mike Sims-Walker, who was raved nearby in training camp. Many think that this could be a 1,500 yard receiver this season if Garrard (or some Jacksonville quarterback) can get the ball to him.
NFL Betting Insider Point: For whatever reason, Denver tends to get off to a high flying start early in the season, as the Broncos have played seven of their L/10 games ‘over’ the ‘total’ in the month of September.
We tend to believe that the Jags are common to be doing more throwing the ball this year if the preseason is any symptom. If that’s the case, these two teams might be in for a bit of a shootout. Both could without difficulty get into the 20s, which would be more than enough to cash this ticket.
The latest NFL odds have this ‘total’ at 40; it’s not high enough!
