All eyes in the AFC Championship Game are on Jarrett Stidham, who steps in for the Denver Broncos against the New England Patriots after QB1 Bo Nix went down with an ankle injury.
didn’t push the ball beyond the sticks often with Nix, ranking low in air yards, depth of target, and yards per attempt.will sell out to stop the run and force things onto Stidham’s shoulders. Denver's offense will be pass-heavy while playing from behind.Drake Maye faces one of the stingiest red-zone defenses in Denver, and will sprint for the goal line when plays break down.Stidham isn’t afraid to throw it and could have a “more confident” arm than Bo Nix. The Pats plug up the run, leaving Stidham to throw against the 23rd-ranked red zone defense. He also has sneaky wheels. He’s no Nix but can escape when the Pats bring pressure. A QB keeper or a broken play in the RZ could see Stidham scrambling for the end zone.The Broncos are in a bad spot against a very good Patriots defense. While the home side may keep it closer than the point spread indicates, New England would be my lean to win outright, especially considering its 8-0 SU record on the road.” column, you’ll see I took Denver +5.5. This spread is trending down toward Patriots -4.5 at most books, with some positive injury updates for the Broncos' receivers, running backs, and offensive line. I’d still lean Broncos +4.5, especially since that spread span is tricky for favorites. Chalk between -4 and -4.5 is just 4-15 ATS this season, and 45% going back to 2021. Those faves win but don't seem to cover.This total has ticked up to 42.5 points after opening as short as 40.5 O/U. I bet the Under earlier in the week, knowing we have two great defenses that don't allow explosive plays, a backup QB, and a Patriots attack that has sputtered in the postseason.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
