Re: Underdogs?
yea I agree with it. The broncos offense is scoring on average as many points as we have had total all year. Until we start scoring more we are going to be the underdog. Its not like we are a td underdog to san fran (and we better not be when we play them). If we beat the broncos though, a lot of things change. A split between either denver or KC is huge. winning both is even better but ill take the split.

Re: Underdogs?
Denver has traditionally been a hard place to win, and especially with Denevr having a little momemtum behind them. Should be a good game and of course we shall win another close one

Re: Underdogs?

Re: Underdogs?
I'll take the seven points underdog.....fine with me.
The game is played on the field, not the papers. |

Re: Underdogs?
Yes, i agree. Denver is a tough place to play for visiting teams. Right now, thats reasonable.

Re: Underdogs?
Absolutely. Denver has one ofthe best homefield advantages in football, and has beaten some good teams (San Diego, Kansas City and Jacksonville).
Don't get me wrong, I think that we can win this game, but any reasonable person (including Vegas) would favor Denver in this game. Now let's prove them all wrong.

Re: Underdogs?
I think it will go down before the end of the week, but I'm not really shocked by that. I'd probaboly put it at around 5.

Re: Underdogs?
The underdog is the most dange4rous team, because they have nothing to lose, and WILL spoil games for teams. I have no problems being an underdog

Re: Underdogs?
I say the team is going to be so thirsty for more of the good feeling they are getting from winning games that they are going to somehow pull this one out! Just think how good MOST of us are feeling to be 3-0, I can only imagine how good it feels to be a player on the team knowing you're 3-0.

Re: Underdogs?
I'd put us at 10 point underdogs, it doesn't affect the outcome.

Re: Underdogs?
Playing in Denver alone gives them the edge. I have no confidence in their defense and their QB is nothing to talk about. Not much can be said about their running game either. We should win an ugly one I reckon.

Re: Underdogs?
Yea I agree that Denver has a pretty good home field advantage. But like in my other post on another thread as long as we limit our mistakes and turnovers we will be able to hang with any team in the NFL. Being a 7 point underdog means nothing to me other than some dude sitting in an office somewhere reading and trying to interpret statistics and personnel on paper. If the line was correct every week wouldnt alot of people make alot of money week in and week out? I think that the Redskins as underdogs win this game by ball control, clock running, and long third down conversions, Oh wait, thats how we beat the Seahawks. Anyways, skins win 21-14.

Re: Underdogs?
7 is a big spread, I would expect that to come down a bit as the week goes on.
