The New England Patriots are still on a quest for an undefeated record, and one of the biggest obstacles that will have to overcome the rest of the way is the Denver Broncos’ defense. We are going to find out how well Tom Brady can navigate his way around that Denver stop unit on Sunday night, as these teams clash in a genuine marquee game on NBC that is scheduled for 8:30 PM ET at Sports Authority Field. Vietbet customers can follow the game live on television, and at the same time they can challenge the NFL betting odds in real-time through the facilities of Live Betting Extra.
New England (10-0 straight-up, 5-3-2 ATS) will play Philadelphia, Houston, Tennessee, Miami and the New York Jets after this, so there is a very real possibility that they can go 16-0. Of course, coach Bill Belichick is not discussing that kind of thing, and NFL bettors remember what happened the last time New England went undefeated in the regular season, as they lost in the Super Bowl against the New York Giants.
This game is not bringing the anticipated showdown between Brady and Peyton Manning, because Manning is resting for at least a couple of weeks with his foot injury. He had not been doing too well statistically anyway, with just nine touchdown passes and 17 interceptions. And behind his back up, Brock Osweiler, this team did not commit a turnover for the first time all year long as they defeated the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. It was really a failed two-point conversion by the Bears that prevented this game from going into overtime.

Osweiler has completed 67% of his passes thus far, but one alarming thing is that he has thrown 51 passes but has been sacked eight times. No, he is not a very mobile quarterback, and lacks the veteran savvy that Manning possessed. The suggestion that this team would be better off without Manning for the playoff run is imaginative at best, but what they hope to do under the new guy is establish a running game and go from there. On an overall basis, the Broncos have averaged only 3.9 yards per carry, but they did get 161 combined yards against Chicago from Ronnie Hillman and CJ Anderson. Can New England stop the run? That is fundamentally their assignment for Sunday night.
And one of the things that Vietbet customers cannot ignore is the fact that the Patriots are missing a couple of their offensive playmakers due to injury. Dion Lewis, who was a good situational running back and caught 36 passes out of the backfield, is gone for the season, and Julian Edelman, the wide receiver who led the team with 61 catches, will be missing at least until the tail end of the season. So Brady has to improvise. He is pretty good at that, and Danny Amendola stepped up with nine catches for 117 yards against Buffalo in last week’s 20-13 victory. On the season, Brady has thrown 25 touchdown passes and he has been intercepted only four times.
Denver’s defense is not going to roll over for him. They have allowed only 4.7 yards per play on the season, and the Broncos will make it difficult for New England to establish a rushing attack, as they have yielded only 3.5 yards per attempt. With 34 sacks, it is likely that they will keep enough pressure on Brady to make it at least a little more difficult to reach Rob Gronkowski, who is the Patriots’ “money” receiver. Almost without doubt, this is the toughest defensive unit Brady and his teammates have faced all season long.
