Las Vegas - No one ever thought that the GREAT Bill Belichick would lose three games in a row, but he DID! Then no one ever thought that Double B would go on a FIVE game losing streak, but he DID! No one ever thought that the Patriots would have the WORST offense in the NFL at 13.3 points per game. Not saying that the Denver defense is gonna remind anyone of the old Steel Curtain, but at home, the Broncos have been pretty stingy the last four times out. They gave up just 17 points to the Packers, 9 points to the Chiefs, YEA, the Chiefs, 20 points to the Vikings and only 12 points to the Browns. Everyone saw the sideline kerfuffle between Russell Wilson and Sean Payton last week, and we're thinking that's actually a PLUS for the Broncos. New England has burned a GINORMOUS hole in the pockets of their backers, covering only three of 14 overall and two of seven on the road. And to make matters worse, the Pats have a YUGE list of questionable players, including OT Trent Brown, TE Hunter Henry, DT Christian Barmore, CB Jonathan Jones, LBs Jahlani Tavai, Ja'Whaun Bentley and Anfernee Jennings. Gimme the kids from Mile High city for the money.
