Eagles-Broncos cheat sheet: Matchups, storylines and predictions

Related Topics: Cheat sheet

With the league's best record, the Eagles have an opportunity to enter their bye at 8-1 with a chance to rest, relax and set their sights on the second half of the season. As 7.5-point favorites, that's exactly what Las Vegas expects them to do. But Sunday's game might be more difficult than that line suggests.

Carson Wentz is coming off of perhaps his worst game of the season, which uncoincidentally coincided with the loss of Jason Peters. The Broncos are only 3-4, but they feature one of the league's best defenses, with a dynamic pass rusher in Von Miller, an interior force in Derek Wolfe and perhaps the league's best pair of man-t0-man corners in Aqib Talib and Chris Harris.
