Everybody but MHR rebel power ranker Tim Lynch has the five undefeated teams as the top five teams in the NFL this week.
Here's a look at how NFL analysts around the web rank the Broncos going into week 8.
ESPN: 4 (last week 3)
The Broncos' offense has been more likely to commit a turnover (15 percent of drives) than score a touchdown (12 percent) this season. The 1-6 Lions are the only other team to do so.
Top 5: Patriots, Packers, Bengals, Broncos, Panthers.
NFL.com:5 (last week 5)
Restful times for the Broncos, or at least a break from the persistent (and annoying) questions about Peyton Manning. There is so much more to a football team than the quarterback, like a defense constantly being asked to bail out its offense, a much-hyped back doing nothing this year, a WR1 dropping passes ... You know, hypothetical stuff.
Top 5: Patriots, Packers, Bengals, Panthers, Broncos.
Mile High Report: 3 (last week 2)
Did you know this will be just the fourth time in NFL history two 6-0 teams have faced off in a game? A tie between the Akron Pros and the Buffalo All-Americans in 1921, another one in 1973 and the last being a Peyton Manning and Tom Brady showdown in 2007. The road team's are 2-0-1 in these games. Here's to the home team!
Top five: Patriots, Packers, Broncos, Bengals, Falcons.
SB Nation: 5 (last week 5)
Top 5: Patriots, Bengals, Packers, Panthers, Broncos.
CBS Sports: 4 (last week 4)
At some point, they will get it going on offense. Peyton Manning needs help from the running game.
Top 5: Patriots, Bengals, Packers, Broncos, Panthers.
Fox Sports: 5 (last week 5)
The Broncos need to find a way to get their passing game going, and one way to do it is by giving more touches to running back Ronnie Hillman. He has two 100-yard rushing games already this season despite playing a second-string role in the offense. Hillman’s emergence as a lead back will open things up for the passing game.
Top 5: Patriots, Bengals, Panthers, Packers, Broncos.
Peter King: 5 (last week 6)
On his bye week, Peyton Manning went to Lourdes. Had some Holy Water rubbed on his right shoulder and on his neck. Will it work? Tune in Sunday night. (Hey, no fair! You work for NBC! NBC’s got Packers-Broncos Sunday night! Uhhhhh, okay. Well, maybe he didn’t fly to France in the last week. But I will bet you he did something similarly radical for his health.)
Top 5: Patriots, Packers, Bengals, Panthers, Broncos.
PFF: 5 (last week 5)
Offensive tackle Ty Sambrailo has a pass blocking efficiency of 94.8, the best for rookie offensive tackles with at least 100 pass blocks.
Top 5: Patriots, Panthers, Packers, Bengals, Broncos.
