NFL Conference Finals Playoff Underdog Pick
January 17th
2014 - Special K  
          

New England Patriot
s (+5) at Denver Broncos

Last week an article came out in Sporting News that I found completely absurd and laughable (article link). It was an article ranking which QBs of the remaining 8 teams left in the playoffs were best suited to get to the Super Bowl. The writer ranked the QBs based on intangibles, pocket presence/awareness, mobility/athleticism, accuracy/delivery, and arm strength. Somehow, this writer ended up ranking Tom Brady 8th below Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, etc. Seriously last? The writer ranked Brady 6th in pocket presence! C'mon, Brady is the Jedi master of the pocket! 5th ranked on intangibles? Umm, hello Brady has been to 5 Super Bowls and is one of the most competitive QBs I've ever seen play. If you were to have asked me to rank the 8 QBs that were remaining, Brady would have come out 1st or 2nd at worst on this list. This writer is absolutely the guy you want to invite to your football pool or fantasy league so you can gladly take his money.

Now, onto the matchup. Brady and the Hoodie are 10-4 all time against Peyton Manning. The only Manning that seems to give the Patriots fits is Eli. Sure Manning has more weapons on offense but the Broncos defense is critically wounded. The Patriots will exploit the Broncos weaknesses in the secondary because that's what the Patriots do.  The Patriots have only lost 2 games in the last 2 seasons by more than 5 points. I like their chances in Denver.
