The Denver Broncos (7-0) remain to be one of only four NFL teams that is still undefeated heading into Week 9 of the current season. They now visit the hard-luck Indianapolis Colts (3-5) at the Lucas Oil Stadium on November 8th, Sunday in a game where both of their illustrious starting quarterbacks are not certain to play.
Peyton Manning is reportedly questionable for the Broncos with a right shoulder strain while Andrew Luck is also uncertain with an ankle injury this time.
Even so, the game still promises to be a highly-competitive match as Brock Osweiler and Matt Hasselbeck will ably fill-up for their respective starters.
Denver is fresh from a superb 29-10 victory over the previously unbeaten Green Bay Packers at their home field of Sports Authority Field at Mile High last Sunday, via Sports Illustrated.
Running back Demaryius Thomas was Manning's favorite receiver during the game, catching eight passes for 168 yards.
Meanwhile, the Colts are coming off a disappointing 29-26 overtime loss to another undefeated squad, the Carolina Panthers, at the Bank of America Stadium on Monday night, as per SB Nation.
Carolina kicker Graham Gano scored a 52-yard field goal, his second in the extra period and third overall in the match, with 10 seconds left in the contest to give Indianapolis their third straight defeat.
The Broncos is set to prevail in this match to extend their unbeaten streak to eight games.
Prediction: Broncos win, 24-14.
