DENVER (4-5) +6 OVER JETS (5-4) (41)
The Jets are coming off a horrible showing against the Pats on an extremely short week traveling to Denver in what turns out to be a MUST game for both teams. Since Tim Tebow has taken over the Broncos, they’ve gone 3-1. They are ONE game back in the standings in the West where an 8-8 record might get you to the playoffs. The Jets cost me and my service BIG this past week and I’m not really sure how good they are. LaDanian Tomlinson is OUT for the game this week and Mark Sanchez isn’t showing too much although he’s improved steadily since starting his rookie year and we still can’t forget that they Jets have been to TWO straight AFC championship games. The Broncos are getting more familiar with having Tebow in the lineup and when they run (they ran 55 times last game) they keep their defense off the field. Willis McGahee will be a game time decision at RB but Lance Ball proved to be just what the doctor ordered coming in and playing with Omar Moreno out also. Should something happen to Ball, it could be slim pickings for the Broncos to find a running back to take pressure off Tebow. I should leave this game alone but I’m not going to. EVERYONE in the country (90%) are betting on the Jets. I don’t see it. I don’t think they are that good. I also think that Tebow is much better than they think he is. Will their defense and their blitz schemes be successful. Probably some. But not all of the time. Tebow can make you pay when you mess up. He can run and can be a punishing type of runner at times. The pass rush for the Broncos is pretty good. The short week means more than you think, especially when you have to travel and that kills another half of a day. TAKE THE BRONCOS AND TEBOW TO COVER THE SPREAD AND IF THEY WIN THE GAME, THE NFL WILL FIND ANOTHER EXCUSE WHY THEY WON. IT COULDN’T BE BECAUSE TEBOW IS ANY GOOD. THE LEAGUE WILL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT. ASSHOLES.
