January 13, 201412 yr Who ya got? I say the Broncos. I don't think the Patriots run game duplicates their results this week. I think Brady will do well but i think he struggles early on. Peyton will do better and will feel more comfortable especially getting that first win out of the way. The Broncos defense played exceptionally well today and put a lot of pressure on Rivers, I expect the same on Brady. Definitely key that it's in Denver, which is part of the reason I give them the edge. Broncos 27 Patriots 17
January 13, 201412 yr Don't get too wrapped up in Brady v Manning....this is Bilicheck v Fox...even though I loathe the Pats Bilicheck is the best coach of this era.
January 13, 201412 yr Pats like to take something away from the opposing teams Offense...what in the world do they target this week? Thomas, Thomas, Welker, Moreno or someone else?
January 13, 201412 yr The Broncos should win but the Pats have their ground game rolling and you can't discount the Brady/Hoodie factor. The first game was strange and the Broncos were able to get a huge lead due to NE turnovers, hopefully we finally get a decent playoff game.

January 13, 201412 yr If the weather is what they forecast, it's Denver. I think their D will do just enough.
January 13, 201412 yr You figure with pressure or by disguising coverages? or Both? Both. Has been the Manning downfall for a long time...
January 13, 201412 yr Interesting Stat...Manning is 6-12 vs Patriots All-Time in the regular season...but did anyone realize that 8 of those 12 losses were AT New England...Manning has played @NE 6 of the last 9 games against them going 4-5 in those games. In the playoffs Manning is 1-2 against NE winning 1 at home and losing two on the road. Guessing Manning is happy to have a HOME game against them.
