New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos Tips, Bet Builder, NFL Playoff Predictions & Odds
We have had another great weekend of NFL action and now we have reached Championship weekend. On the AFC side of the playoffs, we have got the New England Patriots travelling to Denver to take on the Broncos.
The Patriots won a bizarre game against the Houston Texans in horrible conditions. The Denver Broncos had a big win against the Buffalo Bills that went down to the wire. Now both face each other to make it to the Superbowl.
Patriots vs Broncos Tips
Here we have got a 13/2 Bet Builder for the big matchup, plus the latest odds from a variety of betting sites on this game.
New England Patriots -2.5 (Alternate handicap market)
The Patriots have had a great season and are now looking to get to their first Superbowl since 2018. They finished the regular season with the number two seed, and it’s been plain sailing in the playoffs so far.
Wins at home against the Chargers and Texans have seen them make it to the Championship game. Now they must take on the number one seed, Denver Broncos.
The Broncos had a great win against the Bills but after the game it turned out that quarterback Bo Nix broke a bone in his ankle. This now means that backup Jarrett Stidum is taking over.
Stidum hasn’t thrown a single pass this season and it’s hard to think he is suddenly going to become a world beater now. Take the Patriots to win by three or more.
Under 50.5 total points (Alternate total points market)
Playoff games are historically tight affairs, and this one should be the same. The Broncos are second in the league for opponents’ yards per play and the Patriots are seventh.
Both defenses have looked good during their respective playoff runs and that is unlikely to change. Also, with the Broncos having to play backup quarterback Jarrett Stidum it’s unlikely they will score many points.
The total points market has an over under of 42.5 currently. Take 50.5 in the alternate market and give yourself some room.
Hunter Henry anytime touchdown scorer
Hunter Henry had a good season this year and he has been a vital part of the Patriots offence. During the regular season he amassed 768 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
Over the playoffs Henry has been effective as well. Against the Chargers he had three receptions for 64 yards and one touchdown. He was quiet against the Texans, but that game affected everyone due to the weather.
Expect Henry to bounce back and have another good game against Denver.
TreVeyon Henderson 25+ rushing yards (Alternate rushing yards market)
TreVeyon Henderson may not have the whole backfield to himself, but he has still had a good rookie season. The former Ohio State rusher has managed to get 911 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. He has also been good at the receiving game showing that he is a dual threat.
Henderson rushed for 25 yards or more in all but three of the 17 regular season games the Patriots had. He has also rushed for 25 yards or more in both Patriots playoff games this season.
He should do it again in this game.
