SI's Bedard has the Pats winning 42 - 17. He is thinking blow-out. In some way, with another week of practice under their belt and going into Denver with more weapons than they had the last game, a blowout could happen. You never think of a playoff game being a blowout. Who thought KC would shut out the Texans 30 - 0 IN Houston? Some may never want to call for a blowout for fear of being laughed at and being a homer. This is the playoffs. Remember the game against Tebow? Blowout. Anyway...
Given how Denver struggled against the Steelers, and do we think the Pats D is better than Pittsburgh's, Denver may not get the points against the Pats to pull out a high scoring affair. I can see the Pats in the 30 points range and Denver just breaking double digits. I'll be the homer and call for a 45 - 10 win, weather permitting!!! If it rains, as they are calling for, lower is very possible, but a win it is! (-;
