NFL Week 15 Free Pick: Take New England. It’s probably foolish to doubt what Tim Tebow and Denver is capable of given the “magic” the Broncos have pulled off over the past six weeks. But Tom Brady and the New England offense will eventually figure out this stingy Denver defense and then it’ll be up to Tebow and the punchless Bronco offense to keep pace. They won’t. According to latest NFL trends, the Patriots are 8-3 against the spread in their last 11 road games and 8-4 ATS in their last 13 games versus the AFC. Look for Brady and Co. to roll.
