Taking the PATRIOTS here. Uh. I will be the first to admit, not a fan of laying a FG on the road. I am writing this on Sunday night. I really wasn't impressed with Denver, and I cashed with them -6.5. Manning at QB, with exception of a pass or two, can't get it down field without some wind at his back. WRs dropping throws. The Broncos defense looked OK. I know they only gave up 16 points. But to a banged up Big Ben without the leagues best WR and nary a run game to be found. I had Denver way back in November beating NE in OT. So I have no doubt that Brady and friends will be looking for revenge. I also know that I had Denver beating the Pats in the Championship here in 2014. It basically comes down to this for me. 1.. The coaches. I will grab the NE sideline nearly all the time in this match-up. 2... Revenge from earlier this year, and to a lesser degree, the previous Championship game. 3... Brady. Clearly right now, head and shoulders above Manning. -- Pats seem to be getting healthy, as I stated in my last write up about them. - We know Patriots won't be running much. For me. This is Brady, with more options then their loss up here, at this disposal. Brady has had Manning numbers when they were both on the top of their games. One of the two has clearly lost a couple steps. 10* Money Bomb NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
