Will the Tebow Mania continue?

Denver Broncos (8-8) vs New England Patriots (13-3)

Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA

The Tebow crew travels to Foxboro to face the New England Patriots this Saturday with their bags full of hope and looking to extend their mojo and get to the AFC Championship game while the Patriots will try to get their first postseason win in a couple of seasons after getting their last Championship rings. Last meeting they have New England crushed Denver but this time things might change a little bit.

If something is for sure is Tim Tebow is the media man of the moment with his amazing ability to lead the Denver Broncos on their wild race this season. But this team also has another bright spot to look at and that’s their defense. Their defensive squad has become tough and solid game after game with tons of work after being one of the most vulnerable at the beginning of the season. Last week was another chapter on that great story written by this team this season, even letting the Pittsburgh Steelers on the way after a superb play starting the overtime.

The Patriots had one week to heal their injured players and build a gameplan that neutralizes the running game from Denver, their most dangerous weapon, leaded by Tebow and Willis McGahee who have managed to break almost every opponent’s defensive line they have faced. This for sure will be one of the most important tasks the coaching staff has studied for this game. But on the offense we should not forget the great power and multiple options this team have, leaded by Tom Brady, who is always a guarantee for his team to have big numbers on the scoreboard, helped by Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski through the air and BenJarvus Green-Ellis on the backfield.

This game has the Patriots favorite by 13½ points for this game and the total set on 50 points. I recommend you to take the Denver Broncos here plus the points, and if you can buy at least that spread on 14½ do it, those are too many points for a post season game, I expect the Patriots to end the Tebow madness but not by that many points. If you want to go crazy here take the total to go over those 50 points too.
