Forecast For Pats-Broncos Game: Theft by Ref

100% Guaranteed. Bet on it. And Bet Broncos, give the 4.5

Having watched the Patriots go to Denver to play the Broncos for decades now, I can confidently make the following predictions.

Patriots will have 3 long (20+ yard) pass interference calls against them. Plus two shorter yard ones. Also, 5 offensive holding calls. And one “was a catch/wasn’t a catch” call go against them.

Denver will have one short yard pass holding call against them. Thats it. They will mug the Patriots receivers on every play. Reference the felony assault on Gronkowski the Broncos got away at every game he played at Mile High. Refs will penalize Broncos with one offensive holding call despite near strangulations by the Broncos on Pats rushers. All close calls will go for Denver, and against the Patriots. ALL of them.

The Patriots are 12-17 at Denver against the Broncos. IMHO, the refs make it nearly impossible for the Patriots to win there. Tough to beat the Broncos, at home, and the referees too. As history has proven time and again. The Patriots have NEVER won a playoff game in Denver, going 0-4. (Thanks to the boys in the stripes!)

The only reason the Patriots have ANY chance against Denver, at Denver, is the Broncos lost their starting, talented quarterback. I project a close score regardless.

Bet Broncos, giving 4.5 points.
