Broncos vs. Patriots

This week's Broncos/Patriots game is huge. It has playoff implications, and with all the Tim Tebow talk everyone will have their eyes on this game. The Patriots will be the best team Denver has played since Tebow took over as starting quarterback.

In Vegas, New England is a 6.5 point favorite. The game is getting five times the action that a typical NFL game gets! 80% of that action is on the Pats.

Tom Brady should be able to throw the ball well against a Broncos secondary that will likely start three rookies. He will also be highly motivated with the Pats in a 4-way tie in the AFC at 10-3. He also has a 1-5 career record vs. the Broncos. The question is, can Tebow and the Broncos offense play keep away from Brady and stay in the game until 'Tebow Time'. We'll see how 'the genius' Bill Belichick game plans for stopping Tebow. After all he is a defensive coach.

Everyone has gone crazy with Tebowmania. Whether it be praise or criticism, everyone is talking about it...at least in the sports world. In the last two days there has been $50,000 worth of sales for his Fathead. One thing about him, he's a leader and his teammates respect him. Despite all the hype, he remains level-headed, and you know his teammates appreciate that and are playing harder because of it. They say the game is 90% mental, and Tebow wins that part of the game every week. It will be interesting to see what happens this week.
