Denver Broncos at New England Patriots NFL Picks & Odds

Written by Jimmy Boyd

The Denver have Broncos have a big-play offense that will be hard to keep up with for a reeling Patriots offense in the Denver Broncos vs New England Patriots Monday Night Football match-up. The Denver Broncos have owned the New England Patriots with wins in their last three meetings. Tonight at 8:30 PM ET the Broncos will look to put the screws to an old Pats team in front of their home crowd on Monday Night Football. The Patriots were the bullies of the NFL for sometime, and now Denver wants to give them a taste of their own medicine. The spread for the Denver Broncos vs New England Patriots game is New England -3. The NFL odds have moved on the Broncos with the original line New England -4.5.

The Denver Broncos September player of the month, QB Jay Cutler (94.8 passer rating) will test a flailing Patriots secondary that is allowing a high 96.2 passer rating. Last week the Patriots yielded 306 yards and 3 TD’s to San Diego QB Phillip Rivers. New England head coach Bill Belichick had this to say: “Anytime the ball gets thrown over your head in the secondary, that’s not good. It is every defensive back’s job to keep the ball in front of them.” Broncos All-Pro WR Brandon Marshall (4.35 40-speed) along with WR Eddie Royal (4.40 40-speed) could burn New England with Cutler facing little pressure from the pass-rush. Cutler could be without one of his slot receiver WR Brandon Stokely. Stokley as KO’d last week and had this to say about him playing this week against the Pats: “I don’t want to be a liability out there. And I don’t want to be a vegetable when I’m 50.” New England’s 15th ranked defense has been stout against the run with a strong D-line. The Broncos O-line will face plenty of pressure from a blitzing Patriots defense desperate to create pressure. The NFL betting odds OVER\UNDER for the Denver Broncos vs New England Patriots is at 49 points.

The New England offense is a far cry from the offensive juggernanunt from a year ago. Patriots CB Matt Cassell will be up against legendary Broncos CB Champ Bailey (4.40 40-speed 375+ Lb. bench-press) and CB Dre Bly (4.35 40-speed). The Broncos have suffered in pass-defense however, allowing a 105.6 passer rating. Last week Dre Bly was called for a key interference penalty that caused Denver a victory. Bly had this to say about the questionable call:”I guess they’ve been evaluating us and say we won games we shouldn’t have won. So, I guess they’re going to get a call against us,” Bly said. This week, Bly and Bailey will need to be sharp against Patriots 6′4″ 205 Lb. WR Randy Moss (4.35 40-speed). As dangerous as Moss is, the Patriots must get their running attack going. Starters Laurence Maroney and Lamont Jordan will be out with injuries. Backups Kevin Faulk (4.40 40-speed) and Sammy Morris (3.2 YPC 3 TD) are adaquete replacements. Denver MLB D.J Williams (51 tackles 2.0 sacks) leads Denver’s shaky 25th ranked defense. The NFL betting odds for the Denver Broncos vs New England Patriots game is New England -140 MONEYLINE.

Matt Cassell will need to hit some plays downfield to gain respect. If Denver loads 9 men in the box and the Pats banged up RB”s are unable to run, New England will be in deep trouble.
