Our true line (previously known as outlaw line) is Denver -1.5. The true line is what the line would be without public perception or bad line moves. Seattle has backup QBs Tarvaris Jackson, Terrelle Pryor and B.J. Daniels, a bunch of stiffs.

Yes we know that lead running back Montee Ball is out for Broncos. Big deal as he would get five carries at the most. Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson will likely see a bump in their playing time while Ball is out of the lineup. Hillman has been the subject of some strong reviews for his work in camp, a welcome change for him after being bounced from the starting job and, eventually, the entire rotation last season.

He got the wakeup call and will be fired up big time. The league emphasis in calling penalty on contact before pass will affect Seattle the most.
