Week 15 NFL Preview- Part 3

Oakland at Denver
The Broncos have had a surprisingly good season. I expect Knowshon Moreno to have a good game on the ground against Oakland's porous run defense, sans Correll Buckhalter. Denver protects better, generates more pressure, moves the ball more efficiently, allows fewer yards, and has a superior turnover differential. Final score 28-10 Denver.

Cincinnati at San Diego
This is the game of the week. Both teams are vying for the second seed in the AFC. This should be an evenly matched game. Each team protects just as well as the other. Cincinnati creates more pressure and is slightly more effective on both sides of the ball in the red zone. The Chargers move the ball more efficiently and possesses a superior turnover differential. Final score 24-23 San Diego.

Green Bay at Pittsburgh
Another interesting game. However, Pittsburgh seems to have wrapped up the season a couple of weeks back following the injury to Troy Polamalu. The Steelers protect better, but the Packers generate more consistent pressure. Pittsburgh is much more effective on both sides of the ball in the red zone, but Green Bay has a greater turnover differential and has moved the ball with a slight edge. Final score 24-21 Green Bay.
