Who you got?

I want the Broncos to win.

Pats are getting a lot of money on them in Vegas. Line might be moving before the game.

The AFC championship game is looming. And the bookies apparently will be rooting hard for the Broncos.

As explained by David Purdum of ESPN.com, gamblers are going heavy with wagers on the Patriots, with the line primarily at New England giving Denver three points.

The question has become whether to move the line to 3.5 points. The MGM tried that on Thursday, and the pendulum went the other way, balancing out the action. The Wynn did the same thing, but a huge, immediate push for the Broncos made that short-lived.

The surge for the Patriots isn’t surprising; many believe New England will blow out Denver. Vegas will be hoping that Peyton Manning and company can keep it to a field goal or less.

I want NE to win.

Denver has the best defense in football....we match up better with NE...

My youngest son is a Broncos/Cards fan.... Do not want to be rooting against my little boy if it can be avoided...

NE has been a dynasty, and they are reigning SB Champs.... to be the Champ you gotta beat the Champ...

if we lose,...I would rather see Denver go...Manning deserves a final chance to win another ring....hard to stomach the idea that when the manning family sits down to thanksgiving dinner..... eli has more rings to flash than Peyton.
also,...Denver's defense against Cam and Co would be a very good game to watch

Can't stand either team, but I think the Patriots are the better all around team, the only chance I see for broncos is maybe a defensive score, and the mile high demons that brady has. But my guess is 27-17 patriots win

I am pulling for Denver, but they did not look good last week at all. I am predicting a Pats win.

My wife has always been a Bronco fan from the day I met her, but she loves the Cardinals too. I have to go with her on this one. For a Bronco-Cards Super Bowl, she says she will win either way. Sorry dear, not me. Cards or nuttin'.

I don't either team in, but if I would have to choose one that I would like to win it would be Denver. But I just don't see their offense putting enough points to beat the Pats. My prediction-

Pats 31
Broncos 20

If we make it to the Superbowl, it's tough to see who I would want to play. Denver's D could give our offense fits. I don't see that with NE.

On the flip side, Denver's offense doesn't scare me. In fact, I think it's quite pathetic. Additionally, I can see our pass rush show up against Peyton. Whereas Brady could kill us with Gronk and JE. At least both QB's aren't very mobile, and Peyton is geriatric. NE OL has leaked like a sieve.

Then you also have history and experience on NE's side in a Superbowl.

I think if we get to the Superbowl, I would rather play NE on paper.

But Brady is getting his weapons back

Honestly, if we do win, I would rather play New England.

Our offense really doesn't match up that well vs Denver's defense.

I think we could win in a shootout versus New England.

Broncos turf looks really rough outside the hash marks. They put in new turf in the middle of the field only

Wonder why they didn't replace more turf?

I would much rather the cardinals play the Broncos than Patriots in the Super Bowl. Gronk would shred the Cards D.
