Getting this in early so I don't forget about it on Christmas Eve. That means I might change my mind and shift the scale.
But, not a good look right now for the Pats. Denver's still in the Playoff hunt. The game's in Denver where we've historically struggled. Russell Wilson will be starting...and has something to prove. No help from the weather (positively balmy for the Rockies in late December). The Pats are just playing out the string. I'm picking Denver by two scores, beating the spread; taking the over.
