you mean cbs always gets AFCCG

New England at Denver will not be an easy game by any stretch of the imagination. Don't get me wrong. The refs will definitely favor the Donks. The stadium and geographical location do have an effect, on most teams at least. However, we have the better coach, the better QB, and the BETTER team.

Early prediction 21-16. They draw first blood, we take over.

Nbc always gets the afccg? What are you taking about. No they don't. Whoever has afc gets that game and whoever has nfc gets that game. Cbs and fox have had championship games for a long while

Patriots should just fly out there now, get used to the altitude.

Imagine that headline... "Patriots fly out to Denver Tuesday morning, will practice at a local field all week. NFL to investigate"

Not a bettor. What does -3 mean? Patriots by 3 or better?

Yeah, that's the handicap.

Patriots need to win by 3.5 (essentially 4) for even money.

the patriots are giving points in terms of the spread. the line could move either way or stay the same. for the patriots to cover theyd have to win by 4. In reguards to the original post you responded too, teams usually automatically give 3 for being home, yet the pats are a road favorite which really tells you the oddsmakers think they are 6 points better. If this game was even a pickem that would be a joke. Patriots should no doubt be favored.I think they win by scores

Remember, no Amendola, no Edelman, no Hightower and no Collins and we were up 21-7 until that punt fumble.

Denver didn't look good today but the Patriots don't play well there period.

Patriots didn't exactly look great yesterday either. There was about three times that Kansas City should have intercepted the ball but just couldn't.

People seem to be thrilled about this matchup after watching the game today you want to play Pittsburgh 100 out of 100 times at home rather than trying to win a game in Denver.

I hate this match up and I simply don't think the Patriots can win a playoff game there.

Moronic across the board. As stated several times by several intelligent posters, most of NE's losses to DEN came when they were heavily injured (earlier this year, '13) or Brady's first year ('01 if you don't recall?). They would have won HANDEDLY back on Thanksgiving if not for the bad fumble and injuries.

And your "100 times out of 100 times for Pitt" comment is also a headscratcher. I think a lot of people felt the other way, after witnessing a crippled Pittsburgh team throw it pretty well against the best passing D in the league, and knowing that throwing vertically is the way to get after the NE defense, not running the ball and hoping Peyton has a few knuckleballs in him. The sole advantage for drawing Pitt was staying home. Otherwise DEN is probably a better matchup.

Your analysis about yesterday's game is ???

The points are irrelevant. Think we even got a garbage time TD.

We got our assess kicked.

We are better than we were then. We're healthier than we were then.

No one, and certainly not me said otherwise.

What I said, was I couldn't handle another loss like that

And I can't.

A couple of games could have completely changed that game.

Anyways, why even bring it up if you don't think it's likely?

Are the Fans who are saying weird things happen in Denver the same who
were calling our O line ****e and how are we going to lose just a few days ago?

Right. Sorry.

Here's hoping that the road team wins for the first time in the brady manning playoff series

I meant CBS. It was a mistake.

My main concern is denver running all over the pats defense, their passing game is meh. The pats are weak against the run.

I'm worried about the dirty Broncos defenders like Ward and Talib. Watch them diving to the knees/legs of Edelman and Gronk early in the game to take them out.

Simms/Nantz are a hell of a lot better than freakin Fouts and whoever his partner was. Actually his partner was ok, but Fouts was driving me insane.

Nantz has kneepads named "PM"

Rush defense needs to improve lots from kc game.
