I'll be floored if Denver wins. They just lost their good corner to an ACL tear, and they already only were able to put up 24 points against a bad San Diego defense.

The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl.

I don't know. It's easy to look at the Pats/Colts result and think that the Pats should win this one going away.

But the Pats D can't just take away one weapon from Denver like they did with Indy. Denver's just got too many quality receivers.

And I don't expect a similar rushing game, either. The Broncos' run D is better than Indy's was over the course of the season.

All that said, I can easily see a Pats win... just don't expect a blowout either way.

The Chargers have kept the Broncos offense to 24, 20, and 28 points going back their past three games this year. The Chargers defense was bad this year overall. Emperor Belichick is smart, he will find ways to keep the Broncos from going off, even with the Patriots defense being severely hurt by injury.

I wouldn't say it's "easy" to think the Pats have it won already.

I think the Donkey's take it.

Call it a hunch. I think mile high gives them a unique home field advantage and remember it took a muffed punt return for the Pats to win in Foxboro in late November. That was a game the Broncos lead 24-0 at halftime IIRC. An old AFCW SuperBowl would be cool to see.

Are you floored? :mrgreen:

Yeah, kind of. Well, surprised; not really floored. NE's offensive ineptitude is not something I saw coming, that's for sure.

You going to say that you saw it coming? :)

I know what you mean. I am shocked the offense of NE did nothing. I am still unsure about how Peyton Manning got away with that win...I suppose it is destiny...or Destiny's child?? LOL
Go Hawks.
