NFL Betting Lines OverviewIt looks like the good Lord is not interested in the Denver Broncos when the Broncos play the best offense in football. The Denver loss to the New England Patriots in week 15 was not so much a matter of any failure by Tim Tebow; the Broncos just lost a shootout to Tom Brady and the New England offense. Tebow and the Broncos should not get discouraged because a lot of teams lost in shootouts to Brady and the Patriots’ offense in the last few years. That week 15 loss was actually a great thing for the Broncos because the team learned how to face real adversity. It looks like a blow out on the score sheet, but there were a lot of positive things that the Broncos took from that game.
According to the price per head sports experts, Miami running back Reggie Bush racked up 203 rushing yards against the Buffalo Bills in Miami’s week 15 win in Buffalo. The Buffalo Bills could not stop the run last year and the Buffalo Bills cannot stop the run this year. The Bills sign quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to a six-year, $59 million contract and Fitzpatrick instantly becomes ineffective. No matter what the Bills do, it just cannot seem to get the winning part of football right. The Buffalo Bills are about to face an offense in the Denver Broncos that thrives on running the ball early in the game. If the Bills cannot stop Tim Tebow and running back Willis McGahee, then it could be a long day in Buffalo.
Denver Broncos
Tim Tebow remained optimistic after the 41-23 shellacking the Broncos took at the hands of the Patriots in week 15, and he should. The pay per head sports experts noticed that Tebow’s passing is getting better and that this game against the Patriots could be Tebow’s best passing performance of the season. Tebow has showed enough improvement to warrant serious consideration for the full-time starting quarterback job in Denver. More than likely, John Elway and head coach John Fox will wait until the season is over to make that determination. The Broncos’ defense was shredded by the Patriots’ offense and that is something that should be a concern as the Broncos stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Buffalo Bills
A bodog review of the Bills’ season shows that injuries, once again, plagued the team. The Bills lost players in the defensive secondary to injury all season long. The team’s top offensive player, running back Fred Jackson, is missing the rest of the season with an injury. But the Bills don’t need excuses; it needs a win. After a strong start, the Bills fell apart and have lost seven in a row. Something is going to have to change in Buffalo, but no one is really sure what that something would have to be.
The Bottom Line
The NFL scores the Broncos have been posting have steadily increased over the past few weeks. The Denver defense seems to have problems containing an accurate passer like New England’s Tom Brady. But Buffalo’s Ryan Fitzpatrick has been anything but accurate as of late and should not give the Broncos any problems at all.
