What the..????? You gotta be kidding me. All but 1 is picking Denver.

[Pudge]

Cleveland over the giants? Ridiculous

[Dzone]

Ok, against the spread. That makes more sense. But 5 guys picked Buffalo over san francisco. wth?

That's against the 7.5 point spread that NE has. All but one picked us to cover the spread... Every one of them picked NE to win the game (click the little tab at the top left that says "straight up")

Well no one is going to take a 7.5 spread against a Manning team that lit up the Raiders last week and has only lost by 6 points to the 2 best teams in the league. The straight up picks are much more accurate of public perception on that link.

A lot of this is reputation plus last year's history. If the Broncos play like last week, they'll win even if the Patriots play like last week but both squads have been a bit wobbly so far. I think the Patriot HFA gives them a 3-4 pt. edge. If it were in Denver, might be different.

One of them, I think it was Ryan Wilson, was making fun of himself on twitter for how bad he's been against the spread.

It's all going to be up to the D on this one, Denver's offense is going to score points, just hope the D can keep Brady from scoring more. I will be rooting for you guys

:confused: I didn't know you weren't a Bronco fan.

I see it coming down to whoever has the ball last. Much respect to Brady.

Nah, I am one of the tebow fanatics. I am interested in seeing the team do well because I like you guys on the forums, but it would be disrespectful to the real fans of this team to call myself a fan. only team I could be considered a fan of is the Gators :)

lol "experts"

[deebs]

I'm just sure that the NFL is thrilled to see both teams coming into this game, after big wins last week. Makes it feel like the old days when these two would go at it every year while their teams were competing for 1st place in the AFC.

This game wouldn't have had the same luster if it came after Brady and the Pats lost to Arizona.

It's pretty "lustery", If the Broncos win, it will be a shiny gem! :)

One a couple of those guys have winning records so far this year. Some of their other picks look a little suspect to me.
