Dolphins at Broncos

The Denver Broncos are coming off of a disappointing loss last week on the road to the St. Louis Rams and the Dolphins are coming off of a big division win over the Buffalo Bills.  The Dolphins have won four of their last five and are surging as the season begins to wind down.

However, I think the Broncos will come into this game with a sense of urgency knowing that they need this win, as a loss could put their hopes of winning the AFC West in jeopardy.  Peyton Manning didn’t play well last week, but I think he comes up with a much better performance in week 12.

Winner:  Broncos

Score prediction:       24-20  Broncos   

Points spread:      Broncos -7

Over/under:  47.5 – Under
