New England is -3.5 @ Denver?

[bradyisgod]

Public perception is NE just looked great vs a hot team , while Denver struggled @home vs a wounded foe.
In this game Denver has much better match ups across the board and it was proven by beating them earlier in the year with Brock as QB.

Denver at home .Great Defense. a 3pt dog. I'll be on Denver for sure.

Patriots had Edelman/Amendola out if you remember, they also had people out on defense. They still only lost 30-24 with the myriad of injuries and Gronk was pretty much their sole play maker that game, he had more yards and receptions than any other receiver on the team. This is a different NE team when they have people healthy, especially their core receiving group. If Manning plays like he did last night, there is no way Denver is going to win this game.

I actually think making Denver a favorite would put one sided money on New England. Do you understand the purpose of a spread?

OK. You got me what does that have to do with running the ball????

pats gonna win by 2tds

I was surprised by the line. I think the sharps will be on Denver. The public saw Manning suck and the NE offense look healthy again, so I guess I sort of get it.

I think the Pat's should win, but I was expecting a different line (closer to a PK)

Nah, I didn't get you. But you'd rather continue you on with your cryptic "tweet" instead of actually elaborating on what the heck you're talking about and how that relates to a point spread (they don't charge per word here). If for some reason you think the point spread is incorrect, please tell me what you think it should be and how that will get balanced money on both sides of the board. Again, do you understand the purpose of a spread? You seem to be in "fan" mode. Sorry, that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

Line should be NE -6 & the public will still line up to play the Patriots, NE -3 is a very soft line.... One of many in the NFL this year . 2 of my very close friends who have taken action for a combined 50+ yrs say they have players who never win that are winning at 70% clip this year

Well it looks like New England is going to be the popular choice no doubt, with 79% of the bets on the Pats thus far based on the early action. According to he USA Today, it would appear that the Broncos should not even bother showing up, the game is already over (http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl...d-patriots/ar-BBol6yX?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=delldhp). Long range weather forecast looks favorable 'A slight chance of snow. Partly sunny, with a high near 42', but that is always dependent on the wind conditions which can be hard to forecast this time of year. Yesterday I think they forecast 6mph winds in Denver and in the first half of that game there were easily gusts of 20+, just ask the Pittsburgh punter. Early reports are that it will be either Hoculi's or Vinovich's crew working the game, with a Broncos preference to the former: http://www.footballzebras.com/2016/...vich-likely-conference-championship-referees/

Dont let yesterday's game fool you. Denver matches up great vs the Pats. IMO much better then they did VS Pitt.

Brady avg release time v KC 1.7 seconds. That is why they didn't lay a finger on him, expect the same v DEN. Chris Harris won't be playing either, big loss for Denver.

My question had nothing to do with the spread. Do you think Brady is going to show up and not run the ball?

I know that, for sure. I get that they play NE tough and I'm not saying it's an easy game for NE because it's not. It's a good point.

I'm going off of both how Manning looked and also Big Ben was worth half a player yesterday grabbing his shoulder after every other throw. Missing their big deep threat on top of that you would figure Denver goes off on them. That game was way too close. Remember people on here were saying they would blow PITT out. I will give Manning this, his receivers didn't help him one bit dropping a bunch of passes so it wasn't all his fault.

And it had nothing to do with my original comment either. When someone ask you what time it is, do you comment 70 degrees and sunny? hno:

Exactly!! There's a reason why line is at 3 and not 6 like most think it should be. Denver wins SU by 3 or more. Defense will win the game
