Another Brady vs Manning Showdown

[HacheMan]

Not to jinx anyone on the Chargers, but it looks to be we are headed for another Brady vs Manning matchup, in the AFC Championship game.

Tom has won 10 of 14 against Peyton with that epic comeback in OT earlier this season.

 

[WVJOE]

Patriots looked good with that ground game. They can definitely beat them. I'm still hoping for a SD upset today though...LOL...Has to be one of Belichick's best coaching jobs ever given the number of rookies that are playing great. Manning DESPERATELY wants another Superbowl but if anyone stops him it would surely be Brady.

Will be a fun day watching both these games...

does anyone know the early afc lines?

SD@ NE
NE @ Denver

purely from an entertainment standpoint pats @denver is the game people want to see, me being a huge patriots fan i have to root for sd today. id love to have the afc title game at gillette i think the pats would be staring at their 6th SB with brady under center....its remarkable this is our 8th afc title game with brady....teams go decades with not making the playoffs, we are spoiled here in new england, its going to be a dose of reality with B&B both retire. i cant even fathom back to back 4-12 seasons here in new england

I've looked a couple of places but didn't see anything yet...

Even though id like to see san diego beat them,i believe your right that there will be another brady-manning matchup.lets face it also,the pats had no business winning that game against denver earlier this season so you bet your bottom dollar that the bronco's will win if they do meet.


The nfl really wants to see a seattle-denver super bowl anyway

 

[BAGIANT]

I think the Chargers will stop Mannings run towards the SB. Chargers also play well vs. the Pats!

 

[MikeB]

Lots of pressure on Manning today.

Even more next week if he happens to win today.

 

[Mr_Mark]

I hope so. I always liked the Brady/Manning games

 

[PatsFan1283]

if SF and Den win today that would make the final 4 in the NFL the top 4 teams from preseason based on odds/consensus opinion.

Doubt that has happened since the NFL was far more top heavy like in the 80s or something.

They put a line out at 6/ 6.5 and it just got taken down

:smoking:

 

[doubledeuce22]

Denver going to get every call next week. Will be nba level 'maneuvering' to get Denver in Super Bowl.

 

[Samhain]

...but they have only met 3 times in the playoffs.

If the NFL was trying to rig anything, it would obviously be for the Patriots in that spot.

 

[Akillies]

but this time peyton has all the horses

I'm okay with that

I can't say I agree with that. Something tells me that the NFL would like to see Peyton and the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

Why? Pats a way bigger national draw than the Broncos. Many of their games have been the highest television rating games of the last 10 years.

Since Belichick and Brady the Pats have become the Lakers/Heat of the NFL, people either love them or hate them.

Also the game is in close proximity to NY so easy trip for NE fans which helps demand for all things superbowl.

Kindof a no brainer...

Broncos and manning much bigger national draw. I'd be shocked to see any of those 'who do you want to see in the Super Bowl' polls favoring the pats. And patriot fans traveling would have zero bearing on any type of demand.

lol the Broncos arent a bigger national draw than the Patriots.

What are you smoking? The Pats dominate them in TV ratings and have fans all across america now.

Who cares what some poll says about who people want to see win, people want to see the Heat lose, doesn't mean the ratings aren't higher when they are involved.

And yes it would 100% effect demand for SB tickets based on what teams are in the game. Not sure where you are getting your info on that 1.

Lastly, you kindof sound like a bitch complaining about the officiating before the game even starts. Its a football game, this woe is me wahh the refs are gonna screw us shit is for little girls. Take your skirt off DD
