 Having played the game at a relatively high level myself I can tell that most people talk out of their asses when they argue football.

Played in College?

Edit: I will take your lack of response to mean you have not and therefore conclude you are very pretentious. And also a little too convinced the Patriots will win next week. After all, Denver has the heavens backing his new disciple. 

lol maybe i used relatively too liberally. I played for one of the top high school teams in the country but I blew out my knee senior year so I couldnt keep playing. I played Rugby for the Irish national youth team before I moved back to the states and started playing football.

As for the Patriots beating the Broncos yes I do think its going to happen. The Broncos will be able to get pressure on Brady early on in the game however with most of our starting offensive line back and the threat of our two tight ends the broncos will not be able to crowd the box, and don't even mention dropping one of the safties in unless you want welker to kill you.  This will put all the pressure on the front 4 lineman. This combined with the up tempo offense that Brady keeps the offense in will wear down the linemen and limit the pass rush later in the game.

Hence I predict that early on Brady will get hit a few times and the game will be pretty close with Broncos even having a slight lead. However I think the Pats will get the lead going into the 4th quarter which will force Tebow to come from behind and play a style that he is not comfortable with or very effective at. And when I say come from behind I don't mean get to the 40 yard line and kick a field goal, I mean the pats will be up by at least 1 touchdown forcing Tebow to lead a sustained drive down the length of the field, and we know how that usually goes.

Thats my take on the game, feel free to share yours.
