\"Patriots<\/a>
The New England Patriots are very familiar with Sunday’s opposing quarterback<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Denver\u2019s goal is certainly to remain close to New England until the final 15 minutes, as the team leads the entire NFL with a plus-45 scoring differential in the fourth quarter this season.\u00a0 The Broncos didn\u2019t need to rely on that statistic last week, capturing a 37-6 home win over the Oakland Raiders as 6.5-point home favorites, while falling just short of the posted total of 47.\u00a0 The franchise trails the San Diego Chargers by a game in the AFC West standings.\u00a0 Denver is 2-7 ATS in October the last two-plus years, while the OVER is 7-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Broncos suffered two lopsided losses against the Patriots this year, but now travel to Foxborough with Peyton Manning under center.\u00a0 He is coming off a spectacular week, completing 30 of 38 passes for a season-high 338 yards and three touchdowns.\u00a0 \u201cJust trying to keep making progress somehow,\u201d stated Manning this week.\u00a0 Denver is 25-17 all-time in this series, including a 9-8 record when going on the road.<\/p>\n

New England returns to the confines of Gillette Stadium after earning a 52-28 win over the Buffalo Bills as 3.5-point road favorites, while going above the total for a second consecutive week.\u00a0 The Patriots have won six of nine regular season meetings when Tom Brady goes up against Manning, but it\u2019s important to note that those games happened against the Indianapolis Colts.\u00a0 Brady has compiled a 3-6 record against Sunday\u2019s opponent when combining regular season and playoff contests.\u00a0 New England is 9-10 ATS as a home favorite over the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 14-6 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Patriots are 32-6 in the month of October since 2003, which includes a dominating 18-1 record at home.\u00a0 New England owns the best record in this particular month in that span among NFL teams.\u00a0 On the defensive side of the ball, the unit should be concerned with allowing 300-plus yards in each of the last two weeks, but it also forced six turnovers in those two contests.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Broncos due to the underdog covering five consecutive games with Brady going against Manning, while the Patriots are 2-5 ATS at home in this series.<\/p>\n
