\"Patriots<\/a>
The New England Patriots are dangerous home underdogs Sunday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Denver has won three games in a row since suffering its only loss of the 2013 campaign, including a 27-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs as 7.5-point home favorites in Week 11, while going UNDER the betting total in two consecutive contests.\u00a0 The Broncos lead the NFL in averaging 39.8 points per game, which is important to consider when looking over the pro football odds Sunday night.\u00a0 The team has scored 47 offensive touchdowns on 130 possessions.\u00a0 Denver is 2-1 SUATS as road favorites of three points or less the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Broncos are led by quarterback Peyton Manning, who is protected by an offensive line that has allowed the second-fewest sacks in the league through 11 weeks of the season.\u00a0 Manning has compiled a losing 4-9 SU record in 13 all-time meetings against Patriots signal-caller Tom Brady, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NFL betting picks.\u00a0 Denver has forced an NFL-best 13 takeaways in the fourth quarter this season\u2014resulting in a +6 turnover margin in the final frame.<\/p>\n

New England has compiled a winning regular-season record against 30 of 31 NFL opponents under head coach Bill Belichick since 2000, but has split its 10 meetings against Denver in that situation.\u00a0 The Patriots are also a dominating 24-2 SU in the second half of the regular season the last three-plus seasons, as they attempt to bounce back from a 24-20 defeat to the Carolina Panthers as three-point road underdogs on Monday Night Football.\u00a0 New England is 6-0 SUATS versus AFC West foes since 2011, with the OVER going 4-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Patriots have won 50 of 62 home games after Halloween since 2002, but Brady has a losing record against this week\u2019s opponent.\u00a0 The three-time Super Bowl winner is 4-6 SU in his career against the Broncos, including a 3-5 mark during the regular season, but he\u2019s threw 13 touchdowns and five interceptions in those affairs.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Patriots due to the home team being 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
