Denver Broncos vs Indianapolis Colts NFL Week 14

Denver Broncos vs Indianapolis Colts NFL Week 14: Two teams coming off very impressive victories last week will collide, as the (8-4) Denver Broncos [+7] storm into Lucas Oil Stadium looking to upset the undefeated (12-0) Indianapolis Colts [-7]. This AFC game kicks off this Sunday afternoon at 1:05 PM ET on CBS. The OVER/UNDER for this NFL Week 14 Picks game is set at a total of 44.

Denver is coming off a strong showing, as it made it two in a row after a dreadful 4-game losing streak by routing Kansas City 44-13.

"I want to win. I'm a Bronco," head coach Josh McDaniels said. "We're going to have more games against the Chiefs and Matt Cassel. It's going to take a good effort to contain him and stop him every time we play him."

Indy is also coming off an impressive display, as it handled one of the league’s hottest teams Tennessee Titans, 27-17. The Colts tied the (2007-08) Patriots record for consecutive regular season wins with 21.

"It (the record) is one of those things we talk about. We kind of identify the milestones on Wednesday morning when we get in. We talk about some of the things we're accomplishing," coach Jim Caldwell said. "The guys appreciate it, but it's not something that goes to their heads."

"You try to tell these guys that when you win a couple in a row, or three or four in a row, this is not normal," said Peyton Manning, a three-time league MVP (2003, 2004, 2008). "It's not normal to win 10 or 11 or 12 games every year. But these guys that have been here five years would tell me it is normal for us. That's all they've done."

It should be safe to plan for those January football parties. After embarrassing the Kansas City Chiefs, 44-13, on an otherwise gloomy December -- that's right, December -- afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium -- that's right, Arrowhead -- the Broncos are in great position to extend their season beyond the regular 16 games.

The victory was only the Broncos' second in 17 December games at Kansas City. Win here late and the playoffs must no longer be a mirage for a Broncos team that has suffered through a postseason drought of three consecutive seasons.

The Broncos are 8-4 with home games remaining against 4-8 Oakland and 3-9 Kansas City.

The magic win total of 10 that is so common among playoff qualifiers appears to be within a bent-elbow reach away.
