BeenHereBefore Posted January 24 Posted January 24 On the spread lol. I actually like them to win out right ML but playing it safe and just spread. Quote
League Champion Posted January 24 Posted January 24 New England -4.5 last time I checked. I can't help but love NE at that number. I don't think Stidham will do anything against the NE defense. Quote
dogcows Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Who’s even gonna watch it? The real Super Bowl is Rams/Seahawks. Winner of that should easily roll over whoever wins the AFC. Quote

Voltaire Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Next week, when I unbox, "I've told you for years that Stidham is a top flight quarterback" for the first time, I'm going to expect you all to act like it's true. Thanks in advance. Quote

He had enough success in college to get drafted in the 4th round and since then has demonstrated enough talent to bounce around earning/winning backup jobs for eight years. The teacher in the classroom next to mine exudes Denver orange and blue through his pores, he claims the Broncos O-line is solid and should be strong enough to give him time to make plays, plus playing at home in the thin air is always an advantage to Denver teams that are use to the unique environment. I don't know much more than that. Quote

I don't know much more than that. While it would surprise me, it wouldn't shock me if the Broncos won. I just don't see Stidham putting up enough points to keep up with Maye. NE would have to be bad Quote

Remember how earlier this season you were doing your weekly rankings and consistently ranked Denver like 12th in the league and 3rd in the AFC West even when they were leading their division? I do, Nostradamus. Quote

MDC Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Just now, League Champion said: Why? How? Home field advantage, a D that can keep games close, and an elite offensive coach who’s going to game plan to something up to protect Stidham. Quote

I hear you. You're not wrong but I don't see Stidham keeping this close. I don't doubt Payton, I doubt the QB. Quote

I’m not a gambler and I could be wrong. I just think the spread is very rich for a 1 seed that’s built on D and lost one home game all year. The over/under of 42-43 implies a lower scoring close game. Quote

Doesnt mean that matters in this game but its definitely a trend of sorts. Im having a hard time putting money on Stidham here but.. Quote
Fnord Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I expect Denver to win outright. I hope I'm wrong, cuz fock Sean Payton. 1 Quote

IIRC Two of those were games in which the Vikings were favored on the road in the NFCCG. Final composite score of those two games, one of which featured backup QB Nick Foles: 79-7 Quote

Flipper Posted January 25 Posted January 25 If Maye doesn't turn the ball over often he should have time to take advantage of the Denver DBs. Quote

I think that game plan is to keep the clock ticking on offensive with a running game and long handoff type pass plays and Denver is going to get sacks keeping ALL keeping the clock running. I expect a low scoring game from an offensive perspective. Quote

I expect a low scoring game from an offensive perspective. I think you’re right. Peyton seems like an a-hole but he’s a great coach and Denver’s D can keep them in any game. I’m not a betting man but I’d take the points 100% and won’t be shocked if the Broncos win outright. Quote
League Champion Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Did people forget how good NE's defense is? They almost killed Stroud last week. How is Stidham supposed to be better? Quote

Denver has a stout o-line, where Houston traded two of their better o-lineman in the offseason. And they weren't even that great last year. These two things are not the same. Quote

He's done nothing in the NFL Oh for sure. But d and a conservative gameplan with a decent line stands a better chance than defense and a line where the qb who doesn't do well under pressure is running for his life. Quote

I don't think Denver was that good to begin with. That's more my point. Taking away Nix doesn't make them better in my mind. I'm not saying that Denver can't win, I think they'll need a terrible performance from Maye for that to happen, that's all. It's more about Maye than Stidham IMO Quote
