Schule’s NFL Game of the Year – Patriots vs. Broncos November 29, 2015
This is a 10* play on the Denver Broncos.
I still can’t believe the Broncos were a home dog to the Packers in Week 8! Denver’s defense was dominant in that game, holding Aaron Rodgers to a career worst 77 yards on 14-of-22 passing. Peyton Manning didn’t throw a TD pass in that game, but Denver ran for 160 yards and three TDs.
I expect to see a similar result here this week against the undefeated New England Patriots. This is such a tough spot for New England, coming off a short week, after playing a brutal home game against the Bills. Tom Brady took several punishing hits in that game, and he lost two more wide receivers.
Already without Dion Lewis and Julian Edelman, both Aaron Dobson and Danny Amendola left with injuries and did not return. That will leave New England with no healthy wide receivers that have any real experience with Brady. Gronkowski didn’t look good at all on Monday night, with several drops on balls that could have been caught.
Brock Osweiler looked pretty sharp in his debut, throwing for 250 yards and a pair of TDs with no turnovers. He should be even more confident playing at home with one start under his belt.
Take Denver.
