I still think it is funny when the sports reporters will talk about a game like it is one quarterback against another. There are 11 offensive and 11 defensive players to a team plus special team players, plus coaches,... And the last I checked my DVR guide it was the New England Patriots vs. the Denver Broncos. So let me break it down by all aspects of the game on how I predict a winner.
Coaching - The Patriots have more experience and the Broncos staff is in their first year. I would give the edge to the Patriots, but coaches don't wear jerseys and their affect is minimal.
Patriots offense vs Broncos defense - The Patriots led by Tom Brady have shown through the years to always be potent no matter who Tom is throwing to. This year Tom has tight end Rob Gronkowski as a powerful weapon to use with Wes Welker. Gronkowski has proven to everyone to be the best tight end in football as he is has broken the single season record for touchdowns scored by tight end.
The Patriots offense might be good, but Brady has shown to have problems with pressure up the middle. And the Broncos defense is playing the best they have played all season. The Broncos defense is led by pro bowl defensive backs, excellent young linebackers and a pass rush that have sent pro bowl quarterbacks like Philip Rivers shaking his head. The defense has appeared to be even better since Tebow took over as quarterback. For most, this doesn't make sense since he doesn't play on the defensive side of the ball. Tebow's enthusiasm is infectious throughout the Broncos organization.
Broncos offense vs the Patriots defense - The Patriots have used wide receivers for their defensive backs due to the number of injuries suffered. They have given up a ton of yards this season. Tim Tebow will not have any difficulty throwing through the large gaps. And for those who said Tebow could not throw the football well... He hasn't thrown an interception this season and won't throw his first on Sunday. The prediction: Patriots 20, Broncos 38
