Hi all, as my screen name might indicate I am a Patriot Homer. For those on the fence on where to put your money, let me toss out a few thoughts.
The Patriots are healthier today than they have been in 6 weeks. The first game between these two teams, Edelman was out, and Gronk got hurt in the 4th. It was Lafell's first game back and he had 5 dropped passes in the first half alone. The Pats best runner was out for the season already, and yet the Patriots took it to over time.
On the Defensive side of the ball, the Bronco's had no run game until Hightower got hurt,and the other run stuffer Collins was already out. If either of them are in that game, it's very unlikely Anderson runs for 40 plus yards to win the game.
If you recall the Patriots had the Bronco's on the ropes until a punt reception fumble by a rookie (no longer on the Patriots) which gave the Bronco's momentum and great field position.
Peyton is a shadow of his old self and it would not surprise me if he is benched by the 3rd qtr for OZ.
Pats win 24-13
GL with however you wager.

I should have included the line that Edelman, Hightower and Collins are playing and ready.
The Steelers led the whole game last week until a 2nd string RB fumbled. A banged up Steelers team hung with them until the very end. If the Steelers were in Foxboro today, the Line would be Patriots -7.
Any given Sunday and all.. but the Patriots will roll here.

dude, I'm not even a Patriots fan and I laughed at some of the stuff you wrote. First off, the Denver game was NOT LaFell's first game back. His first game back was against the Jets in Week 7 and that was when he had a bunch of drops. The Pats played Denver in Week 12! You're juuuuust a bit off on that one. Also, you neglected the fact that Amendola was also out in the Week 12 matchup against Denver. That was pretty significant considering Edelman was already out. They lost Gronk very late in the game. And I wouldn't really classify that the Pats "still took the game to overtime." The Pats were in control of that game, up 14 early in the 4th when a scrub fumbled a punt return in the snow. None of the information you provided here is useful in any way. Your reasoning for betting the Pats is they are much healthier now? News Flash: EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. If that's the case, why is the line still New England -3 despite 75% of the bets being on the Pats? Manning is old, can't throw, Brady owns him, the Broncos barely squeaked by a banged up Pitt team. Shouldn't the line be higher than -3 then? I still like the Patriots here too, but the fact that Vegas obviously needs Denver here is a bit concerning. And your reasoning that the Pats are healthier than they were in Week 12 doesn't really do anyone any good. Everyone already knows this.

Dude...You are right about Lafell.. brain fart on my part.. He still had the drops that game 4 catches with 9 targets vs Denver.. I should have remembered that as I was at that Jet's game lol.
Number 11 in this game is the key.. Having Hightower and Collins in the game frees up the DB to focus more on the receiving core of the Broncos..
If this game is close, it's because there is an injury or few..

Osweiler to the rescue is the only thing that scares me .. sure manning is the better game manager but brock can throw the ball much better at this point in mannings career
