I think that spread is likely to widen. I think most people give Denver little chance to win.

Those people don't know football. I find it hilarious that people think that New England is just going to walk all over Denver. People need to take into consideration that Denver is the best defense in football, Tom Brady always struggles in Denver, and the Pats are away from New England. They don't have the greatest playoffs road record.

More motivation for Denver

I suspect that there are folks who "know football" who think the Pats will cover, but I agree with you that there are reasons to think otherwise. And I don't think that either team lacks motivation.

From what I saw of the Broncos offense yesterday, 3.5 dogs is pretty generous

Considering the 3 point HF allowance that's a 6.5 point favor....
I don't see it all....NE has a better offense, Denver has a better defense, seems pretty even to me and that should make Denver 3 point favor in my estimation....
The thin air, and that D, if PM don't cave, Denver should win....

3.5 points on the spread = walk all over?

If Peyton can't even beat Luck how is he going to beat Brady? Guys here are right Denver's D is way better than the Patriots and Mile-High has been very very unfriendly to Brady and NE for ever, believe 3-17 all time ouch. Isn't the deflated ball shit old , even on you Ted?

No gimmes in the championship games.
NE slid sideways into the AFC Championship game in 2013. Lost by 10 points.
Belichick will not be taking anything for granted

Vegas is getting good with these speads. I won on Packers getting 7 because they lost by 6 and I lost with the Broncos because they won by 7 and the spread was 7.5.

That said, definitely taking the Patriots here. Home field advantage almost seems like superstition or conflation at this point.

Tell that to Tom Brady. He's 2-6 all time in Denver, and the 2 wins came against Danny Kanell and Tim Tebow.

Let me put it another way: if this game were being played in New England, I'd give Denver about a 5% chance of winning. But since it's in Denver, I'd put it at 50/50.

Brady + In Denver + Denver pass rush = Long night for the pats

I dunno. Tom Brady can hit Gronk 1 on 1 in any stadium. Danny Amendola can put your special teams player in the hospital in any stadium.

Its more about interior pressue on Brady and everything else is kinda moot. If nobody gets Brady up the middle then New England wins. Chiefs were flying right past Brady with the pass rush and not doing jack and Brady picked them apart.

3.5? Hell even Vegas thinks the Broncos have a better chance than I do. If anyone is betting take the over because it's gonna much much worse than just a 3 point difference.

I thought you were leaving forever?

I don't think that the word "over", in that context, means what you think it means.

i do find it funny who is the all time runner up in the afcc in the last 5 years ? first off lets think manning was hurt last year in the playoffs . so manning is an old man like brady so he is as fresh as he is ever going to be . a fine upstanding team that rules the universe shouldn't be cheaters . go broncos .... of the 4 left i hope the panthers win it all . what is getting old is watching the pats play in the sb .
