NE @ Denver AFC Championship game

Who you got and why. This may be the last time Brady vrsus Manning.
I hope Patriots crush Denver because I think the Panthers or cardinals will Crush Denver. Parrots 27 Denver 19...

Probably the Patriots win.

Pats 23 Broncos 10

Patriots are like the San Antonio Spurs to me. They run vanilla offenses and defenses in the regular season because they know they are going to make it to the playoffs. Once they're in the playoffs, they show you how they play and usually take it to you.

I personally hope the Broncos win. As much as I like Brady, fuck the Pats and their championships. I hate Boston fans. They got it too good historically amongst many of their franchises.

I don't see the Patriots allowing more than 20 and I don't see Denver holding New England under 20.

New England 24 - Denver 17

New England wins 30-20 over Denver

Brady gets the win, goes to his seventh super bowl to face the Panthers for the second time.

Bradys 20
Mannings 17

23-20 Broncos.

Tom Brady is 6-7 all-time versus the Broncos ...the only team he has a losing record against
Tom Brady is 2-6 all-time at Mile Hi Stadium ...
Tom Brady is winless all-time in playoff games played at Mile Hi Stadium ...

The national media LOVES ...no, INSISTS on always making the storyline "Brady vs Manning" but even in the playoffs, Brady hasn't beaten Manning in 11yrs and most of the head-to-head wins were when Manning was in Indy.

If the game was in Foxboro, I'd say that New England would win. But as of now it's supposed to be 50 and Partly Cloudy next Sunday in Denver and the Denver defense has carried the team all year.

I won't make a prediction but will be at the game, as I was in 2014 when Denver dominated (and then was dominated by Seattle in the SB) and in 2006 when nobody gave Denver a chance and Champ Bailey had a 99yd INT return to the Pats 1yd line ...

Chris Harris is hurt and Amendola and Edelmann are both back.

If both teams play perfect games, it may just come down to a FG ...otherwise, I expect that the team that gets the one big play - a Pick-6 or crucial sack/fumble - will win.

And from just what I am reading this morning, the Pats and their fans have already concluded it will be a blowout win for them and they'll be "rematched" against Carolina in SB50.


GO DONKEYS!!

Love Denvers defense.....and their pass rush vs NEs dismantled/injury plagued oline should get to brady often. But I just don't see Denvers offense putting up enough points to win. 23-13 NE.

I just think Denver gets rolled be either Panthers or Cardinals.. New England verses the NFC is a much better game.. But maybe the Seattle beat doen in New York is still fresh on my mind..So with those stats above Denver may have a great shot at beating NE.

By the way, that statistic of either Brady, Manning, or Big Ben representing the AFC in 12 of the last 13 and 13 of the last 15 Super Bowls is depressing for the rest of the AFC. At least the NFC has had some parity in that department.

I make no predictions for this game, but I am rooting for Manning the rest of the way. Want to see the GOAT go out with one last ring.
