This is not an invincible Pats team. In their last 8 games of regular season, they beat Giants by 1, Bills by 7, lost to Denver, lost to Eagles, blew out Texans and Titans, lost to Jets and Fins. Not impressive at all. So what they beat KC team at home, as KC had serious injuries in that game and had no chance really. This game Sunday is not in New England where it will be freezing cold and we all know Manning can't win in New England in playoffs. It will be in Denver, early kick off, about 50 degree weather. Pats seasons ended in both 2005 and 2013 in Denver in playoffs. The location of this game is a major factor. Manning was rusty yesterday. He hadn't played in forever and then played a half against San diego where he didn't have to do anything. Point is that he was still rusty yesterday and he will be sharper next week, not Manning in his prime, but definitely sharper than last week. Denver defense and running game is stellar at home. 80 percent of public seems to be on New England at various sites. Vegas wins some of their money back that they lost this past weekend. Denver outright.

I guess you could be right. You know what I think?
DENVER AND PEYTON MANNING HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WAITING FOR THEM. :facepalm:
Just seems like a line is too good to be true.... it always is.
The patriots that played last weekend versus denver that played last weekend would have been a massacre.
What does vegas know that we are missing?

Denver has the best defense by far in AFC. It's not even close when you look at stats. No way New England can run the ball. Which means that NE will pass a lot and be one dimensional and Broncos can pressure Brady. They had most sacks in NFL. By the way, Broncos have awesome run game. Belichecks game plan has to be to stop the run and make Manning try to beat them with pass. I think he will find his talented receivers open throughout the game. Line is -3 Pats because of public perception that Pats are greatest, and rightfully so. Value is with Denver in my opinion. Anything is possible. One team could shit the bed, but I like Denver at home with points and hands down better defense and running game.

Thing that's concerning though is Bradys pass plays are quick drops. Kinda negates that pass rush.
Anytime a team gets after Brady, he struggles. Broncos led the league in sacks. Not to mention the HFA and noise that Brady will have to deal with on offense. It could be a long day for Brady in Denver and history proves he's had bad days in Denver. I like your play. :0008
Go back and see how Brady did with Miami all over his ass in Week 17. 12-21 for 134 yards. Brady don't like being HIT!
He didn't have healthy receivers then Jack, Edelman makes him way more potent...I'm just hoping Miller deflates his balls and makes him im-potent

Nothing like watching your team in the Conference Championship game. Have fun. Where you gonna watch it?
The same place I watch them all, in my room...I can't handle people talking to me while it's on...some may say I take it too serious

I agree 100% luke, I thought Denver D was soft, it seemed pitt receivers were running free all over the field and they were getting minimal pressure on ben. If they play that way this week they get taken to the woodshed. denver got lucky with the fumble to win the game, at that point I thought pitt was going in to score. Brady and hoodie would have had a field day with the way Denver played. additionally hoodie will out coach kubiak in the first 10 minutes of the game. All that said I'll probably be on the broncos! :facepalm:
I haven't even looked at the weather forecast but if its going to be super cold and super shitty out I would have a hard time backing Peyton due to his history in bad weather. Might seem like a tic-tac reason to make a decision, but its pretty big in my decision.
