Pats are 6.5 point underdogs next week at Denver

That's an easy bet with the points. Doubt it stays that high at gametime.

Tom is going to have to be terrific next Sunday.

Death by Slot receivers.Heavy on the Blount trauma.

We won't be able to run all over the DOnkeys next week. This is virtually ALL on Brady.

I think the pass is gonna have to set up the run. And Dobson isn't even healthy. Can maybe one of the PS receivers help???

Just because chargers couldn't doesn't mean we can't. Our O line is far superior to the chargers in the run game. I do think Brady will pass it more next week simply because Denver's pass D is awful.

It's not going to be a high scoring game. I doubt any team gets to 30. I would take this bet, but of course I am a wuss and I never bet. I don't even know how

I don't know about not being able to, but they won't try.

The correct strategy is Brady vs their 29th ranked pass defense minus their best pass rusher. And bang it with the running backs on short yardage or goal downs.

Over under is 55.

I'd say it's a lock under.

meh, Brady was sacked 40+ time this season,i say run,run and more run.

You always want to be considered the underdog. Even if you really aren't.
Because it's a good source of motivation.

How big is Ryan Allen's injury? Field position could be huge in this game

blount/ridley were actually ripping off chunks of yardage before they got fumble-itis and were benched

I think you have to trust the guy who just had 166yards and 4td's on the ground to be able to run through whatever defense.

Bill put it up on Bulletin Board, good material run that disrespect "They Give Us NO Chance To Win" Speech. Can see Brady gettin Fired Up!

Weather forecast looking mild a week in advance(high 50's), which may play to a bit of a higher score.

That may be much more difficult vs DEN's 7th ranked rush defense (if the CBS stats were correct).

We are 5-0 vs teams ranked 22-32 with their rush defense this year, but it changes dramatically vs teams who don't have a bottom 10 defensive ranking, as they are 8-4.

They may not have a choice though, since there's basically no one to catch the ball outside of the shorter route receivers in Edelman, Amendola, and Collie.

Hopefully they can have enough success in the run game to set up some key play action passes.

As Bill pointed out in yesterday's interview, it's sometimes difficult to keep preaching the same thing over and over, although we're all sure that he'll be trying to use the "disrespect" card to some degree.

when is last time odds have been right a week before the game? You watch they will become allot closer as game time gets closer.

It would be nice to have more than two receivers. Who will be the third option, Hooman, Mulligan, collie? I just feel like KY and Dobson won't be healthy enough to have much impact.

kind of disrespectful to have it so high IMO...I wouldve expected 3 due to being in denver.

the patriots blow out the colts running all over them. while the Broncos barely put away the chargers after the chargers basically handed them the game after 3 quarters
