Patriots vs. Browns Week 15 Odds
DENVER, CO (The Spread) – The game of the week is in Denver on Sunday when the Broncos host the Patriots at 4:15PM ET.
NEW ENGLAND: The Patriots had to earn it, but they did pick up their fifth consective victory when they beat the Redskins 34-27 in Washington last Sunday. Rob Gronkowski added two more touchdowns to his total of 16 of the season, as New England improved its record to 10-3 on the season. The Pats failed to cover, however, and are now 7-6 against the spread on the year.

DENVER: If the playoffs were to start today, the Broncos would own the fourth seed in the AFC thanks to yet another fourth-quarter/overtime comeback. Trailing 10-0 in the second half, Tim Tebow, the Denver defense and kicker Matt Prater lifted the Broncos to a 13-10 win over Chicago. Prater kicked two 50-plus yard field goals to tie, and win the game for the Broncos, who are now 8-5 on the year and 7-6 against the spread.
