Why are the Broncos GETTING points? I am confused.

So last I checked New England secondary is horrible and Jay Cutler is one of the best if not the best passing QB in the league. Those of you that want to shout BUT WAIT they lost to Jacksonville last week, well let me tell you why 1) Denver has defense problems that New England will be unable to exploit because of a really bad quarterback, beat up offensive line, and frankly just piss poor offense. Tom Brady looks more and more like the best player in the league every game I see the Patriots play- how did he lead this lump of shit to an undefeated superbowl last year? 2) Denver had serious injuries last week @ the wide receiver position - that sucks for a team that throws every play. Recap: Eddie Royal and Scheffler did not play, Stokely got a concussion early on leaving only Marshall who eventually got hurt.
All of these guys are back except maybe Stokely who is definitely the weakest link on the list, and the Pats cant play D like the Jags can. If Rivers can torch this secondary, Cutler can torch this secondary for sure.

All of this leads me to believe the Broncos ROLL the still overrated New England Patriots...

And I seem to remember a few years ago always thinking that Rock-Paper-Scissors was played between Bellichick-Shannahan-Dungy. This was a few years ago and maybe he out of date but I am throwing Paper here.

Just take the Over

Only reason Pats are favored is they are home.

Oh I see, so your smarter than the oddsmakers huh? wow, you know what you should open up your own sportsbook...

firedawg · 10-16-08, 01:32 PM

pats are a joke this year

element1286 · 10-16-08, 01:34 PM

Because Denver can't play defense.

frostno98 · 10-16-08, 06:14 PM

Denver will win this game easily. This is the easiest moneyline you will see this season. Denver only problems is they don't take every game seriously. In their two losses, they were in great position to put the knock out on their opponents early, but they had too many careless fumbles in key scoring situations. I mean this are fumbles not created by the other team, all the broncos player have to do is go down and quit trying to get extra yardages.

Mike Shanahan will correct this problem by monday. Denver should put up at least 30 on the Pats. Plus Shanny own's the hoody Bill Bilicheck, even against his superbowl teams.

denver is not good. they are a bad call from being 3-4
they are a 500 team AT BeST

Does not mean that the Patriots are any better.

There is a spread they run on bodog on sunday ngiht and monday night football games, I actually won 18:1 odds on it on Monday (Chargers v Patriots) You can basically bet that either team will blow out the other you can pick to win between 15-18 18-22 or 22+ the best odds are the middle one which is what the chargers did this weekend, these are estimate #s not sure of the real ones...

Anyways on last Monday I bet all 3 lines on the Chargers, 80$ each and then cashed 18:1.

I say all of this to recommend betting the same thing on both the Buccs over Seattle and the Denver over Old England games, because the pay out is well worth the risk.

and in response to the Broncs dont play D....Cassel could not score on some college football teams I am quite unconcerned with them scoring on the Broncos. Yes the Broncos play just as good or better D than the Chargers.

thats true
i would either bet den ml or no bet
but these two teams both suck anyhow

i suck at nfl also

gl to all
but i am sure denver is a 500 team if that

treece · 10-17-08, 01:35 AM

Both teams suck, but I'd take the points. What do you know Pats need Brady after all.

Andrewsurf · 10-17-08, 02:05 AM

this year it seems denver has a slight advantage based on team play. but don't forget, denver owns the pats. or at least has for a little while

They still going to be good enough to win the AFC west though

EBDOG · 10-17-08, 12:45 PM

Patriots by 10

Legend4Aday · 10-17-08, 01:06 PM

Agree with Ebdog

hoopster42 · 10-17-08, 01:07 PM

long trip for denver crossing a couple time zones, plus their defense has been very avg this season, i have no problem with the pats being favored by 3 in this one on a monday night at home

Lout84 · 10-17-08, 04:25 PM

I like Denver +3. No way the Pats win by more than 3 if they win at all.

awholelottalumps · 10-17-08, 06:25 PM

Simply because their the road team.That is the only thing that makes sense to me.

pats3peat · 10-17-08, 06:53 PM

Though I agree with you, my problem is that the Patriots are the friggin patriots. they are badass.

SportsG · 10-18-08, 11:25 PM

well. if Denver can lose to KC

I dont see why the Pats don't beat them

I.R.B · 10-18-08, 11:36 PM

I need Denever to hit... That will be my only NFL play this week.

Its the same story with Denver every year. They win a few games and look promising. Then they start loosing to poor teams, or making bad mistakes. Shanahan blows a game or two with a poor call. Inconsistent team, and the coaching has to be responsible.
I'm taking Denver, but would never underestimate their ability to blow games they should win.
