This will be the second time that Peyton Manning plays the Colts after leaving Indiana. Last season Luck led the team to a 39-33 win at Lucas Oil Field, handing the Broncos their first loss of the season.
The Colts have issues on the offensive line after Donald Thomas and Khaled Holmes got injured. Trent Richardson doesn’t look any better than last season and the depth chart at the RB position is really slim. On the other hand, the addition of Hakeem Nicks gives Luck another target which will draw the defense away from Reggie Wayne and T.Y. Hilton. Hopefully the Mile High factor won’t influence their performance too much in the first game of the season.
The Broncos lost Eric Decker and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in the offseason without adding more talent. Matt Prater will be suspended for the first 4 games of the season and Wes Welker suffered a concussion in the preseason game against the Texans. Things don’t look too bright for Denver going into Week 1, but if Ball will be able to provide some additional yardage and Peyton connects a few deep passes to Thomas they will surely be able to bring home a W.

Green Bay goes back to Century Field after 2 years; this time around there will be actual refs!
Seattle may have one of the best home records in the history of the game, but the Packers led by Aaron Rodgers surely have a shot at bringing this game home. We’ll finally see how Lacy stacks up against a solid run defense; he’ll probably see lots of touches if the legion of the boom shuts down the Packers' passing game.
Check out the Seahawks Roster and Packers Roster!

Nowadays the word GOAT is thrown around pretty often, but in the street-ball world it’s only used to refer to Earl “The Goat” Manigault. Before his arrival, the court on 99th & Amsterdam was called “Happy Warrior Playground”.
In 1970, at age 25, he was released from prison after serving 16 months for drug possession. After refusing to join the Harlem Globetrotters he started the Goat Tournament which featured NBA stars such as Bernard King, the face of the Knicks at the time, and street stars like Ed “Booger” Smith.

Rucker Park is probably the most famous street court in the world. The first tournament there was played in 1950 and it was organized by Holcombe Rucker, a local teacher. In the next few decades lots of stars played there, from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Earl Monroe; in the last few years you could find Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson and many more.
TNT aired a TV film about it in 2000, “On Hallowed Ground: Streetball Champions of Rucker Park” and from that point it only kept on growing. Lots of celebrities and former pro players take part in the events hosted at the park as well.

West 4th Street, known as The Cage, is an institution in New York. Other than being the scene for a lot of commercials, the court was home of a bunch of future NBA players; Dr. J, Walter Berry and Jayson Williams all played there.
The court is really small, so the basketball played there is really physical and there’s little to no space after the sideline, hence why most games are played without out of bounds rules.
