Why?

[dexterst.jock]

is everybody on the pats right now, granted i am undecided and i got raped yesterday nfl wise but looking at their schedules and who each team has beat i mean NE has beaten San fran, the jets and KC, not really that impressive. Denver has beaten TB, New Orleans and San Diego, they did lose to KC, but shit happens in the nfl, idk, someone please persuade me

The problem with Denver is undoubtedly their defense. They've given up over 400 yards 3 times already this year including 416 to Jacksonville last week a good 120 over what they were averaging per game. They give up nearly 6 yards per play. Not the type of team, imo, you want to be backing on the road.

With that said, the Pats defense has been damn near just as unimpressive. But with the beatdown they got last week on national tv along with the last home game (miami) I'm finding it tough not to think that the Pats come out with a little more fire and urgency tonight.

I think the Pats try to slow this game down big time tonight. Denvers defense is swiss cheese and even the dreadful Cassell should be able to move the ball and kill some clock. I don't think covering a field goal is much to ask of them tonight. Denver has only played one game on the road this season, KC, which was a great spot to fade. I think this one is too. Good Luck Dexter.

thanks a lot man, im jus gonna have to put aside my HATRED for the pats haha, you definately make some good points

Much appreciate the help

the few guys that post here who are on the pats isn't representative of the public bro.. most people are actually on DEN tonight. Just happens that small bandwagon of Pats backers showing up on the rx. Don't let it fool you-- most people are on the broncos.

Den is a bad team on the road, hence the KC thumping and I expect them to get blown out again tonight. Pats haven't beaten anybody but neither has DEN (SD and NO are both under .500, and we all kno that SD should be a loss anyway).. Pats defense will show up tonight and their offensive line will control this game, pats in a burial.

wow, i definately like the confidence haha

thanks for the reply

Just play the under.

Broncos offense has been fading, and the patriots cant score TD's.

 

[dexterst.jock]

i was lookin at that, but its tuff for me to play the under in a denver game considering they couldnt stop me, and they can score quite a many o points, idk

much appreciate the post tho

 

[HAT]

Nobody's mentioned Shanahan's ownership of Belli's Pats?

 

[dexterst.jock]

the must win factor is big, and denver lost to kc.........

its a tough call but im leanin towards New england right now, prolly gonna be a last minute decision tho, thanks to all for ur posts

It's not very often you can get a Patriots team at home at only -3. And to have the public on the other team makes me like it that much more! I hate the Patriots but they get the job done at home and are a very good ATS team.

Tom braddy is the reason you never see them only given 3 pts at home this is just not a good football team!There defense is old and slow.And there finding out its alot harder to play defense when your not up by 20 pts.Just cant see how this team is good enough to give anybody pts.:sad3:

The Patriots are nothing like last year, its silly to look at them as an elite team.

while denver's pass defense is atrocious, the pats pass defense is i think 24th in the league (not a far cry better, by any means)

pats average giving up 3.6 sacks per game as opposed to denver giving up .8 sacks per game

both teams thin at RB, though michael pittman still has it.

denver O-Line should open up the gates for pittman more so than NE's O-Line opens up for morris...

i trust cutler over cassel.

the thing that has been killing the broncos is the turnovers in opponent territory, whether it be INTs or freak accident turnovers. i look for that to change, here.

cassel doesn't take many shots down field, randy moss is getting angry, hell breaks loose soon!
