well, you're asking for a loss of 2 td's or less (or a win by the broncos). which you obviously know.

at +14 you could push
at 13.5 2 td's = 14pts and you lose by that 1/2 point. Especially if broncos are down 7 and there is a late td or some garbage.

buy the hook at +14. Think of it as insurance.

for + 14 is better, for - 13.5 is better.

+13.5 , cause it is less juice since the play is going to lose.

And that percentage does NOT take into consideration the number of games that the dog won.

I could never put money on Tim Tebow, on the road no less, against HOF QB and Head Coach.

The score will be 7-0 after the Patriots first drive, meaning the spread is really 7 pts.

The Broncos have been blessed with a great story and a lot of luck. Steelers were beaten up. Broncos had to win against the Bills and Chiefs and looked like they couldn't get the ball past the 50 yard line. I don't think so folks. Good Luck though!
