    Keep trying. If you want me to believe you weren't surprised, you need to tell me they (USC tonight, Iowa State last night, etc.) were going to win before the game. Then we could get Vegas to move the line accordingly. Or you could just put up some cash against Denver like I've offered.

    People were surprised as hell that Texas Tech beat Oklahoma. That's because, you know, Oklahoma was the favorite. LOL.

    Here's the thing, you can't bet 3 teams against 1 straight up. That's beyond a sucker bet.

    Tell you what. I'll give you Green Bay straight up for $100 right now to win the super bowl. Even though Green Bay is 9-0 and clearly the best team in the league, if you take this bet, you are crazy.

    To bet Denver when they had a 2-4 record to make the playoffs is insane. I still "wouldn't be surprised if they win the division", but today my "surprised" level is much lower than 4 weeks ago. Today, I would go as far as to say, I believe they will win the division, but I would still never be stupid enough to bet straight up against 3 other teams, when the odds makers only give them a 16% chance of making the playoffs. I could call a booky and get 5-1 odds right now, so why would I bet you straight up?

    5-1 as a starter is hard to argue with. Fox has always been able to win games with weak QBs. I am sure having him as coach has helped out a lot. An offensive guru would probably pull his hair out over Tebow's limitations but Fox just tells him to do what he can and not turn the ball over.

    That approach with Cam might not have been a bad idea. Lean on the running game and keep things close. Let Cam try to make a plan when he has to. Cover up that weak defense.

    Denver has a lot of talent on defense.

    I thought not going for the 1/2 yard on 4th in OT would come back and bite Fox in the ass but then SD loses the yards, and missed the FG. ************ is charmed.

    True, but Dumervil missed the whole season. Actually you made me look and they're not great this season on defense either. They've been better lately, but still only 23rd in points allowed.
