Who's your x factor for both teams Sunday

Interested to see who is one player on DEN and one player on the Pats that can/will be the x factor

The Refs and The Refs

Brandon LaFell for the good guys
Peyton Manning for the other guys

Logan Ryan

Really feel that White will have a huge game either here or (god willing) the Super Bowl. Not that he's so terrific, but he's on par with Vareen I think, and when the Pats go 4 wide and he slips out of the backfield, it's an easy and potentially big gainer. Tried it once against KC with success. Feel like they might be saving him a bit.

Watching the steelers receivers and their big plays I will say lafell or Martin will get forgotten by the Broncos defense just like they did. If I had to choose one it'll be lafell and I hope he catches the balls that come his way.

Yeah - came here to say Hochuli.

The over/under on the number of times he's gonna call a ticky tack penalty on us and miss obvious **** by Denver is 4.

Lafell for us he will get his chance to redeem himself for a miserable season while the focus is on Gronk and Edelman.

Manning for the Broncos it all comes down if he can keep up with Brady. Patriots will get their 24+ pts

To add on for the defensive side

For the Pats it's Logan Ryan. Butler will take care of his guy, but Ryan will need to play his best in order to get of the field and give the offense more shots at it.

For the Broncos I would think it's Ware. He didn't play the last game curious to see how he does you need to get to Tom to have a chance.

I think WHite for Pats....and DT for Denver..he HAS to step up and not have those drops for them to try and advance

I'm thinking that Martin makes a couple of sensational catches that cement the lead for New England.

Dont'a Hightower
Chris Harris Jr.

Anyone paying attention knows that right shoulder is the most important question for this game - - even moreso than Manning's.

It's the difference between the Patriots winning a laugher vs. the Patriots having to grind out a tough one.

Any questions?

I'm not going to go with one player but the tandem of Branch and Brown need to dominate the LOS. For Denver, someone like Owen Daniels.

Given what I have seen from DEN OL...they could have a field day

Martin. I think LaFell is toast. Martin has looked great recently and has gotten some big time praise from Brady as well. I think Brady really trusts him. Denver will be selling out to stop edelman and gronk. Martin has the potential to have a big CG+SB.

If he shuts down DT again Pats win.

If DEN OL folds like I have seen recently...same thing...W

My X factor for the Patriots is the running game. If they somehow can manage to eke out 80-100 yards on the ground (a tall order), New England wins.

For Denver, naturally Chris Harris.

Amendola or Martin on offense. McCourty or Harmon defense..

For Denver, DT or Talib
