It’s silly. After all this team has been through, the heart they’ve shown and the quarterback/coach they have, I’m not sure how anyone could write the Pats off. But hey, the pundits have to make their predictions that mean absolutely nothing.
The Broncos have better weapons at wide receiver and tight end. After that I’m not sure where else you give them the clear advantage. The Pats are a balanced team that should be able to play any kind of game.
The Patriots defense, especially in the secondary, have very good pieces to challenge Peyton. As I’ve said all week, this is the best anti-Peyton secondary we’ve had since the 2003 AFCCG. A similar result would not surprise me.
With the Pats the games almost always come down to the end, so I don’t see how or why this one will be any different.
