I have been following this site since the NFL season started. There are a few good - superb handicappers on here from what I've seen (ie. thecruncher, AceAce, Brooklynworm ...... to mention a few) I am hovering around 70% winners on my NFL spreads, which I will not claim cause this is my first thread. With that said.............
First off, this is an easy game to cap IMO. Both teams are coming off a loss and are in different positions in their respective divisions. Denver is on top of their division and really don't need this game (only thing that REALLY scares me). New England is sandwiched in between Buffalo and the Jets... in definitely need a win.
The obvious indicator in this matchup is what defense will the Broncos face. Denver has put up large points against sub-par and mediocre defense (Oakland, New Orleans and even San Diego). There let down in Kansas City was just that.... a let down or trap game, if you will. Tampa Bay is the best defense they've faced and Jacksonville was in a 'must-win' situation with personnel to get the job done defensively.
I can list numerous reasons why the Patriots will not be able to contain Cutler, Marshall, Royal etc. Let's just say, old LB's and a below average secondary won't get it done. New England will get their share of points but not enough. I don't think this game will be close.
Also, what better place/time for Jay Cutler to back up his ridiculous statement about having a stronger arm then Elway?
NUFF SAID
Score prediction: Den 38 NE 20
Denver +3
Money Line : Denver
Team Total : *** Denver OVER 22 1/2 (Bookmaker) *** EASY MONEY
GL TO ALL!!
