Screen Shot 2013-09-24 at 11.26.11 AMThe Broncos, who have scored 406 points this season, will face the Eagles on Sunday just six days after beating the Raiders on Monday Night Football last night.

Peyton Manning isn’t too thrilled with the shhheduel makers and is already preparing his excuse [as tweeted by Reuben Frank]:

“We’re coming off a short week. It was nice of the NFL to give Philly 12 days and give us six.”

Poor guy. Of course, his team doesn’t have to deal with the unenviable task of trying to rid itself of the stank left behind by 14 years of Andy Reid by way of players like Nate Allen. So… just consider the uneven schedule an equalizer.

I actually think the Eagles are going to win, and I think they’re going to hold the Broncos to under 30 points. 42-28, Birds.
