The San Diego freaking Chargers..... Philip Rivers gave the game away with 23 interceptions....
Right there is the reason why the Broncos ain't going to the Superbowl. Let alone win it.....
Their cakewalk for a schedule is about to get them off the high tree they're sitting on, blow out in their faces come playoffs time.
I am as big a Pats fan as anyone else, but I am no homer by any means. I speak as I see it.
I think this argument of soft schedule is a weak one. I am saying this because if everyone remembers correctly, last year people were saying the same things about our schedule at the end when we won like 9-10 straight heading into the playoffs at 13-3 and in that span didn't beat any winning team. However we deflected that question by saying "We can only beat teams we have on our schedule" and at the end we ended up in the Superbowl.
I would hate to see the Manning family anywhere near any Superbowl, but with playoffs you never know. You just need to be hot and get the right breaks (and with Peyton, you know he is gonna get some free PI calls every game) and voila, you are in the Superbowl. Green Bay did it couple of years back and this year I won't be surprised if someone else does it.

Why the Broncos are Super Bowl favorites:
1. The Texans were favorites, and the Patriots spanked them.
2. The Patriots were favorites, and the 49ers spanked them.
3. The 49ers were favorites and the Seahawks spanked them.
So the Broncos are the Super Bowl favorite of the week. And Kansas City isn't likely to spank anyone, so NFL.com thinks they're safe for at least a week after the team that was publicly declared to be the "best team in the NFL" was soundly thrashed each of the past 2 weeks.
A picture is worth a thousand words....
Green - wins vs weak opponents
Red - losses (no further explanation needed)
Orange - wins vs. middle of the pack
Enough said.
