Blecch. Does anyone really enjoy this BS trash-talking? Waste of time.
Anyway, to me the thing about the Broncos has always been their ability to really maximize their homefield advantage due to the oxygen level there. It's a unique built-in advantage carries them a long way, until (most of the time) their talent level fails and they crash and burn. That's why they were routinely annihilated in the playoffs during down years in the AFC. They'd limp into the Super Bowl and get crushed. Finally won a couple with Elway.
This team reminds me of that, with the exception they have to play a top-tier team in the Pats. On a neutral field, the Pats would coast. With the homefield advantage (assuming the Broncos win next week), it will be a little closer, but I suspect the Pats will win by double-digits.
