Date: Sunday, January 24th
Time: 3 p.m.
Place: Sports Authority Field @ Mile High Stadium Denver
TV: CBS


Why you shouldn`t watch this game:

The pastor of your church asked you to visit a church for fellowship. And the service starts at 3 p.m.


Why you should watch this game:

We had “Spygate”, “Deflategate” and now we want to see how the Patriots will cheat on Sunday.
Let`s call it “Mountaingate”


Will this Peyton Manning`s last stand? Will Brock Osweiler come in if he begins throwing interceptions? These are the questions that lingers in the heads of Bronco faithfuls.
Will Tom Brady be “Tom Terrific” or will the Broncos defense disrupt his flow? The quarterbacks will be the keys to victory.


New England Patriots


Six AFC Championships and winning 4 Super Bowls is Tom terrific? Everyone in New England says he is. Tom Brady is the undisputed leader of the team but has the fire to keep proving everybody wrong. When the Patriots lost to the Broncos earlier this year no one in the Northern part of the country question his heart, drive or spirit. He came back firing on all cylinders. The New England Patriots will always find a way to win.





Denver Broncos


Denver has led the NFL in every defensive category across the board. The defensive line has recorded 17 sacks combined and linebackers added 11. Talib Aqib and Chris Harris, Jr. are the “Air Thieves” so throwing on these guys will be a problem by itself. Stopping the run and clogging the A gaps will be the Broncos game plan. We can talk about the quarterbacks all day, but defense wins championships. This defense was mentioned as the second coming of the “85 Bears”, now that`s a great compliment.




My Prediction


The Broncos will beat the Patriots by 6 points. Bookies and Las Vegas is giving the Patriots 3, but they`re dead wrong in this case. Once again I hate to say I told you so...

Peyton wasn’t gonna let this game slip away from him. Denver dominated every aspect of the game. Brady led his offense to just 3 points in the quarters. No Mile High Meltdowns here.

It’s what we’ve been waiting for. Brady vs. Manning.  This will be the fifteenth time these two future Hall of Famers will face off. Brady has won 10 match ups, while Manning has only won four.

In the first half, it was an offensive struggle. Rivers only had five completions for 20 yards. Also, Ryan Mathews only put up 26 yards in the first half. The Chargers had a big goose egg on the scoreboard. On the other Hand, Denver looked very good early. Manning threw for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Both Ball and Moreno had 40 yards rushing. At half Denver looked to be much in control, up 14-0.
