    I don't give a fuck who wins as long as it's not NE. I don't think the Donkeys can win @NE, but then, I don't think the Donkeys are a good football team.

    If they beat PIT, NE is in the the AFC title game as far as I'm concerned and I'd LOVE to be wrong on that one.

    I agree, I think NE would beat Denver handily.

    spread would probably be like 14

    Yeah as much as I want the Broncos to win, Steelers can beat the Patriots. Broncos cant.

    You're not wrong. No way in hell the Broncos beat the Pats in Foxborough.

    Great. Teblow and the Donkeys just took out Pittsburgh.

    Denver @ New England. Yiiiiiiiiiiiikes.

    It should be noted that no one gave the Jets a chance in hell to beat NE @ NE last January, and they did it. Denver can run the ball and play good D. I guess one has to give them a chance here.

    I want DEN, HOU, NO, GB and I think NE, BAL, NO, GB.

    The biggest surprise for me for DEN. If they do pull it off, the next week in Boston will be very enjoyable for me. Probably will Tebow all over the streets of Boston.

    I dont think this will be easy for the Patriots. The Denver defense is underrated and can put pressure on Brady at will. Containing the TEs is key and Ocho (yeah, expect to see a lot of him now) and Denver can do that.

    For Tebow, this is his kind of game, especially now seeing him clearly airing the ball out with precision. With the defense hes facing, it will be interesting to see if the Pats can step up and stop him and his now throwing game.

    The media will treat the Broncos the same way they treated the Jets last season and that is believing the Broncos wont win due to NE beating them by a wide margin a month ago. But as I've learned all season, anything can happen and Denver has the momentum going in.

    I can't see Denver losing to NE but I also thought Pitt would pitch a shutout against Denver . On the plus side Baltimore should beat Houston. Baltimore would probably beat NE since they are a better team IMHO

    I will never speak ill of Tebow again if he and his team ends the Patsies next week. I swear to God/Allah/Buddah/L-Ron.

    I think that Denver has as good a shot at New England as Pittsburgh would have. As others have pointed out, their defense is truly an elite unit, and we've all seen the change in Brady once he takes a few shots. If Miller, Dumervil, and the rest can put pressure on the QB then this could be a surprisingly close game.

    In other news, Jim Nantz is going to spend tonight fapping to his fantasy of Tim Tebow winning the Masters and having the green jacket given to him by Tom Brady.

    Next week's broadcast will be unbearable.

    Too bad the Broncos and Tebow have to play the Devil's team on Saturday.

    The only three AFC teams that I actually dislike are still alive... Go Texans! (and Broncos for one game only)

    As good as San Fran is on defense, I just can't see them significantly slowing down the Saints. I'm cheering for the Giants on the NFC side, but I can't say I'd be disappointed with any of the other three winning it all.

    He's unpredictable as fuck. Today he carved up the #1 D in the NFL. He'll probably look terrible against the 32nd D in the NFL next week. Go figure.

    Pats may give up yards but they led AFC in INT's & turnover diff.
    Tebow had a nice game today but in Gillette? Keeping up with Brady?
