DENVER -- Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes, including two to Eric Decker, and the Denver Broncos kept rolling by beating the Cleveland Browns 34-12 Sunday for their 10th consecutive victory. The Broncos (12-3) matched the second longest win streak in team history -- they also won 10 in a row in 1984. They can wrap up the No. 2 playoff seed and first-round bye that goes with it with a win at home over Kansas City in a regular-season finale next Sunday. Denver also could move up to the top seed with a win in the finale and a Texas loss. Manning finished with 339 yards passing, completing 30 of 43 passes with an interception.

It was the 10th time this season that the Broncos have scored 30 or more points in a game, and the eighth time during the streak. That tied them with New England for most 30-plus points game in the NFL this season and also matc...

Atlanta Falcons (12-2) Detroit Lions (4-10)
Normally I like going against huge line movements because I hate week to week overreactions. This line was Atlanta -1 last week and now it’s at -4.5, skipping over two key numbers of 3 and 4.
