I have to say that after watching this game tonight, I have to say that my faith in the fairness of the NFL has been shaken.

After a phantom pass interferance call on Brandon Marshall at the beginning of the game, negating a 20 yard catch -- the refs have just allowed the Pats to go on an absolute tear in this game. They didn't call an obvious taunting call as one of the Pats was standing over the injured Cutler, yelling smack down to him -- and they missed several pass interferance calls on the Pats as well.

They only started calling penalties against the Pats after the game became out of reach for the Broncos so they could appear to be balanced...

I'm also wondering at this point if the Bronco's running back Hall was in the pocket of the mob tonight. The guy threw down 2 fumbles onto the turf his 1st 2 touches of the game for god's sake.

Asside from all the obvious garbage, Cutler probably broke his finger on the 1st play of the game, Champ Bailey pulled a groin in the 1st quarter, and Boss Bailey got injured as well.

This was a tough way to lose 5 dimes.

Dude, Denver's defense is softer then a roll of toilet paper. The NFL does seem suspicious sometimes, but this is just an azz whooping.

I saw the bullshit calls in the first half, so I doubled down on the Pats for the 2nd half.

Here we go again the fix talk. The Broncos simply got worked, just face it I have been following your picks for a while now and your flat out a bad handicapper.

Every time an "easy win" turns into an ass-whooping the other way somebody gets paranoid and says the game was fixed.

Instead of crying about it why don't you read this and learn to identify trap games so you can at least stay away or maybe even make money on them.

If anything should be fixed it would be the over. N.E kept pushing the last couple of minutes. B.B looked like a man who would take the onside kick afte N.E's last TD and Cutler taking the deeb throw with 1 minut left. Sorry for your loss, but N.E was the better team..

Denver sucks. You wanna talk about fixed games?? How about DEN win against SD??? They barely beat NO and SD @ home?? And you're crying because you took DEN on the road against a hungry NE who got showed up the week before on SUN @ primetime??? Also, if you noticed, joe public was on DEN the whole time, and the line NEVER MOVED!! If you can't read into that, then I don't know what to say. Vegas sets the lines as they see it. Vegas took a big hit on Sun, with all the money jumping on DEN and no line movement should've told you something. the books were sitting pretty and watching all that money come in...........

Denver had the early control, but fumbled twice in the 1Q, so they shot themselves in the foot. If there was a fix this weekend it was the Colts@Packers game on Sunday. All the early calls went to the home team, including a number of 15 yarders (Colts had a shocking 65 penalty yards in 1Q alone!).

I paid close attention to the Packers game. Did you see how angry the Colts were with the refs? They were furious. But after the game? Not a word. Manning doing the 'right thing' by saying they didn't play well enough. Why such a contrast between in-game anger with the zebras and post-game comments? Fines, of course.

In my opinion Goodell has pretty much killed the NFL. Polamalu is right about the new softness of the game. Every f*cking little push after the play is a 15 yard penalty. That gives the zebras way too much power. It doesn't even have to be a fix. If you penalize a team early on like the Colts, and maybe the Broncos, were penalized the game is over long before the final whistle. Very easy for a team to build momentum on early one-sided calls, and blow the other team out.

I was on Denver and pissed off with the refs, but quickly forgave them when my middle on the total won. God, I love middles that hit. The sweetest bets of all. The best thing is that I wouldn't have bet the total if I hadn't been called by some tout trying to give me a free pick. I said I didn't want it, and ended up telling him what his pick was. He forgot that he hadn't given me his pick and said "I thought you didn't like the pick." I said: 'I don't." But because of that conversation I took another look at the total and middled it. I had a projection of 47.5, and 47 and 48 are both higher likelihood totals, so the middle hit the sweet spot.

I have started threads like this before and I'll tell you from past experience there are so many experts here that you will not get taken seriously. I must say I didnt even watch NFL this weekend I simply placed my bets and checked the scores 3 hours later. That's were I am with NFL personally.
