but how much will the Broncos win by this week

but how much will the Broncos win by this week

Smart money says within a touchdown. Pats have been far from convincing away from Foxborough this season though.

 

[ausbacker]

Well, it's the four best teams left in the NFL. Both championship games have worthy teams. Here's to a good weekend of football (and a crushing Patriots victory).

Agreed

 

[twarby]

Pats have gone from +7 to +4.5 at the places that matter

 

[Wild Bill]

So which bookies matter and which one's don't? Who has the Pats at the odds above?

 

[Galactic]

Just happy to be here Just curious what were the lines before the Bronco's played us at Gillette anyone remember? I going to put so much money on Brono's we wont be able to lose

 

[Blacky]

I think I may be taking out suicide insurance this week too

 

[Wild Bill]

Pats have gone from +7 to +4.5 at the places that matter

Pinnacle are showing the Pats at +6.4 - are you reading it correctly?

 

[Wild Bill]

Pinnacle only one that matters, the rest just copy them eventually

Looks the opposite for me if you saw +4.5 and now they have drifted them out to +6.4 they are following the other betting agenies that are offereing $7 for them to win the Superbowl.

 

[dart]

Pats $3.00 V Denver $1.41

they're great odds for the Pats.

note: down to $2.88 on sportsbet.

 

[GreyWind]

Only team that I like that is left is the Pats so I suppose I'll be going for them. And Marshawn Lynch.

 

[Amazing Racer]

Those are good odds for the Patriots. The difference between them this year and previous years is when they get to this game, they are always the favourite. Being the underdog might be a good thing for them.

 

[Galactic]

I'm OK with being a dog, should be in reality.

I don't think the betting would affected them when they run out - both teams are playing for a chance to play in a Superbowl - the pressure is on no matter what the bookies think.

And for what it is worth - I would take being the favourite every time. The better teams start fav more times than not and win.

 

[quotemokc]

Not overly fussed about the victors of this weekend, however I want an AFC superbowl victory.

Would rather a real qb pocket passer win it like last year

 

[twarby]

Pinnacle are showing the Pats at +6.4 - are you reading it correctly?

yes, been 4.5 since I posted, you have to be logged in to the evens line they have

either way, so far early moneys been on Pats

yeah this week, past history as underdogs means very little, during the season however is a different story, the original line was rare territory for the Pats, excluding Brady's first year he has only been higher than a 6pt underdog twice.

 

[dazbroncos]

Patriots will do the Patriot thing and be supper competitive with another bunch of no names. For Denver to win we cannot have the mistakes we had today and we CANNOT, MUST NOT leave points on the field PERIOD.

It is doable.

All week we will hear about Brady Vs Manning, Manning Vs Brady. In reality they will cancel each other out. For mine the game will be won on the ground.

it will be Blount Vs Denver D and Moreno / Ball vs NE Defence.

Offensively, I feel the match ups of NE Safetys/LB on Julius Thomas and Green and Denvers Safety/CB against the no name NE wideouts.

Will be a cracker...

Go Broncos

Why do people hate Manning? Seems like a good bloke, and definitely a good player.

Had my cursor on the like button for a second there

 

[Blacky]

Their LBs are all in frightening form

You must be new to the world, people hate greatness that they cannot achieve, it's only recently I pulled my head out of my arse and started becoming fans of Brady, Lebron James and the like
