Overrated really? This whole "well this team is obviously better than this team cause they beat them" is none-sense. With that logic the Cardinals would be better than the Pats right? Cause the Cards did beat Tom Brady earlier this season, and that was with Gronk playing as well. The Broncos handled the Ravens last week and the Pats lost to them in the beginning of the season.
The only reason the Pats have a decent record is because they play all their games against contenders in New England (Denver, Houston, and San Francisco). While the Broncos had to play Atlanta on the road, Houston at home, and New England on the road. They also played those three games in the first five weeks of the season. This offense was brand new at the beginning of the season so it was obviously going to take some time before they gelled.
The Broncos defense has also been playing lights out since week 6. The scary thing about this unit though is that they are better than their Payton Manning led offense. Manning never had this good of a defense in Indy so that just tells you that they are a team to be taken seriously. They had a total of 7 sacks today while the Pats only had one against a team thats even worse than the Browns. Brady has also thrown 4 ints in the last two games so its apparent that their offense is struggling. And don't even get me started about the Pats defense. Chad Henne almost put up 400 yards on their secondary today, Chad freaking Henne for christ sakes. So if you think about it, Tebow's backup picked apart the Pats secondary today. Impressive.
And nice prediction on the Niners, its looking pretty good for you right now.
