The long and bumpy road to Super Bowl XLVI

Would any of the NFL betting fans have any opinions on the 14/5 available about Broncos beating Gmans crew on Sunday?

Would you bet against Tebow on this of run of form?

Here we go Denver!

God believes in Tebow, not in (New) England.

I have thrown a sneaky few quid on Denver to win the Super Bowl at 55/1. Slight mug punting I know.

I was hoping for a more scientific analysis than the Tebow run of form argument. Have Denver come up against similar teams so far? What’s their likely plan B if the NE defence shuts Tebow out etc.?

It’s a very interesting contest. I’d take Denver with the handicap.
If Denver can get a pass rush and disrupt Brady they’ll have a chance.

its the only chance though I reckon. If brady gets on the board with a couple of early touchdowns, it could be Detroit all over again. Minnesotta put up big numbers on them too. I think the defence will be more handled for Tebows style than a traditional QB who picks them apart. Patriots though never do well in Denver. Broncos +6 on the handicap? I think the Patriots will beat them by more. I think the game will open out early, and when Tebow needs to make ground, he will falter. he has been lucky the defence has kep the opposition down to one score games to the last quarter.

No matter how bad Tebow is the old adage about defence winning championships still rings true. Denver have a suberb defensive line and great variety at tackle and corner back. The Ravens won a Superbowl with a worse offence than this current Bronco crew.

Whilst I don’t think they’ll win it I certainly would risk some funds if I got 55/1 about it.

I only returned to following my beloved Broncos at the start of the current run and wouldn’t dream of making any analytical points until I’m fully reacquainted with the game.

Once it was replaced by Italian Soccer on Network 2 I was left bereft of my weekly fix of Elway and Co.

Freely available on Betfair at that price right now.

Edit, I tell a lie, they’re available at 59/1 which is the same price I’ve backed them at.

2nd edit - what happens if they lose on Sunday?

They will still be in top spot over the raiders, even if the raiders beat Detroit, which I am not sure they will. Raiders then have chiefs, which they should win, and Chargers which is 50-50. Denver have Bills, which could be either way, but would fancy them, and Chiefs, which I would expect them to win. So it is in Denvers hands really to top the west and get the playoff spot.

Thanking you Gman. I’ll figure this sport out fully by the time next seasons fantasy league comes around.

Flano wont let you play.

Denver will be home to the Steelers or ravens in the wild card playoffs most likely, and then if they won, would have to go to the other one of them or the Patriots (depending on how Houston do, but I think Pats and Steelers/Ravens finish with a better record)

Mac is in!
