I have to agree with Ron. The Pats' defense is pedestrian, at best. Denver has a very good defense.
If NE scores 41 on them, I will be genuinely surprised. If I had to guess, I'd say it is a Pats win, but closer than you think. Maybe by 4 or 5.
On the flip side of the coin, if there is anyone out there that can confuse the crap out of a rookie QB it's Belichik. The possibility of a blowout is there, but since Denver's defense is so good, I'd still say it's going to be closer than you think.
My prediction? 23-19 Patriots.
