#2 New England Patriots @ #1 Denver Broncos
Where To Watch: 3:05 on CBS
Spread: Patriots by 3
Over/Under: 45
Background:
Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are facing off in the playoffs for what might be the last time.
The Broncos defeated a weakened Steelers team last Sunday with a weakened Peyton Manning providing some assistance to Denver's run game and defense, which is the same formula that the Broncos have been using all season.
The Patriots beat the Chiefs with their usual formula; a high-octane passing offense that the Chiefs simply couldn't keep up with. The Patriots have all of their main weapons available on Sunday, which could mean that this game has a different result from their meeting during the regular season.
This is the 17th time that Peyton Manning and Tom Brady will face off and the fourth and final time that they will meet in the playoffs. This is the third time that Bill Belichick and Gary Kubiak will face each other in the playoffs.
