It's amazing that Denver couldn't decimate a hobbled Ben with Antonio Brown out. After watching the first drive I really thought I had picked the wrong side with pitt. If turnovers go 0/0 that game would be pretty close. I'm going to easily go with NE here. Going to grab the line now before it goes up even higher.
Man, I think the sharps may pound that 3.5. If one likes NE I would wait -- but this is speculation. I am really surprised at that line. I guess Manning looked so bad and the Pat's looked healthy on offense, but for thr #1 seed to be a home dog, with the hook and having the #1 defense -- wow. Sharps will pound that, I suspect.
Pats have a lot of guys healthy and their defense is playing better. Brady almost beat them with just gronk and nobody else stepping up. It's not the same pats team. I'm biased, of course, but I try my hardest to look at the game objectively. 3.5 seems low to me especially after watching Manning play tonight.
k:I'm more excited about NE/DEN being -3 than CAR/ARI. Arizona is still an amazing team. I'm not super excited to bet that game, although I lean CAR. Would much rather bet -3 against Manning based on what I've seen from him tonight and lately than wager against ARI. Just my opinion, though. It's anyone's guess at this point as to who shows up at the end of the season. I'm not taking anything away from Denver, they are solid. Just saying that they didn't look that good vs. a beat up steelers team - I wasn't that impressed.
