Denver's defense definitely played great yesterday but I don't know if they will have the same success against Carolina. Denver has caught some major breaks, Faced Pitt with Big Ben not 100% and no Brown, Oh yeah and a third tier running back, move onto New England, Gronk was definitely not close to 100%, Edelman wasn't 100%, no running game and an offensive line that is a total mess, New England's offensive line is a total mess and I still have no idea why people think that New England was such a great team. Let's face it, New England hasn't played good football in a long time, sure they beat the Chiefs but I think the Chiefs really shot themselves in the foot as much as anything, New England got throttled at home to Philly for crying out loud so even though it was a good win for Denver it's not the match up they are going to face with Newton. Carolina has no weakness and they aren't limited, they have a solid offensive line and they have a top notch TE with speedy WRs on the outside. The kicker here is Denver's offense stinks, it's not very good, they couldn't do anything in the second half against the Pats, Pat's do not have the 85 Bears defense. Give me the team playing from the better conference with no weakness.

Carolin 24-13

Carolina looked great because Arizona shit the bed. Ari had turnovers galore. Minus the turnovers and this game would be real close

I'm going to wait and see if the line goes higher so I can take Denver. I know oddsmakers realize how good Carolina is and will try to make sure they set the line so that they don't cover it. Given they have to know that the public won't just be on them because of them being a favorite (public always picks favorites), but also because of their performance against ARI.

I was impressed with Carolina. I was also extremely impressed with Denver's defense. They shut down a great team and they deserve a lot of respect for that. Will be interesting to see how a running team fares vs. Denver.

Try not to regress on spilt milk, but odds makers had the line right for NE/DEN. That guy makes the extra point (wasn't he like 18/18 or something?) and the game goes into overtime. Not bringing it up because I lost, bringing it up to show how close the oddsmakers got the game as they do most games in the playoffs. They are aware to shade the lines in the dog's favor due to the public mashing favorites.

What should the line be at?
I think you could make that line -6.5 after last nights performance, and you would still have all Carolina money IMO... I really hope the line goes up, I will gladly wait and grab as much as I can get....

I think this line will continue going up (for obvious reasons). Wait, wait, wait if you like Denver.

Good strategy if that's who you will take
