2015 NFL Divisional Preview Indianapolis at Denver

Hello sports fans and friends, family, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, cousins and aunts of sports fans.

For many NFL football fans, this coming weekend is the best weekend of sports for the year. Like last weekend, there are four playoff games over two days. What makes it even better than last weekend is that the four teams with the best records in the league rested last weekend and now all host the winner of last weekend’s games. It’s the NFL Divisional round of the playoffs! To help prepare for the games, I invited my old friend Brendan Gilfillan to join me in a series of podcasts. We’ll go through each NFL playoff game and talk through the most interesting characters, the basic plot of the game, who we want to win and who we think is going to win, and just for fun, we’ll share our favorite player names from each playoff team. I hope you enjoy it.

The NFL Wildcard Round

NFL Football — Sunday, January 11, 2015 — Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos, 4:40 p.m. ET on CBS.

  • Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning — why this game is all about him and what’s so interesting about him.
  • Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker — how he epitomizes the concussion crisis in the NFL and why we all feel so comfortable telling him what to do.
  • Indianapolis Colts running back Daniel “boom” Herron — why he might actually be the key to this game.
  •  A plot synopsis of the game — Peyton Manning dominates the plot. It’s him against his old team. It’s him potentially playing in cold weather. It’s him playing for potentially his last chance at a Super Bowl. It’s him and the Broncos trying to recover from last year’s playoff loss. But, funny enough, in terms of the outcome of the game, the Broncos defense vs. the Colts offense might be more important.
  • The players on both teams whose names we most envy and enjoy
  • Who we want to win and who we think is going to win
  • And much, much more!
