Bengals V. Broncos - Christmas Eve Game Day Open Thread

     @      

Week Sixteen -- Cincinnati Bengals @ Denver Broncos

Location: Invesco Field @ Mile High, Denver, CO

Kick-off time: 4:15 pm EST

Broadcast: CBS

Win and their in, almost.  That should be the motto.  With the Patriots beat the Jags the Broncos can earn a playoff spot with a victory over the Bengals.  Jay Cutler, making his 4th career start, will need to match Carson Palmer throw for throw, and someone unexpected is going to have to come up big if the Broncos are going to get to the playoffs for the 4th straight season.  If anything, it should be a fun game to watch!
