Judgement Day for Tebow and the Broncos

How much do you wanna bet Tom Brady is a tad bit annoyed over this so-called "match up" between him and Tebow this Sunday? After everything Brady has done in the league, to even be in the same conversation as Tebow right now must grate on his nerves. As if Tebow could hold Brady's jock.

I have a feeling Brady and Belichick are set to go OFF today and show Tebow what being a real QB in the NFL is all about.

Let's take a look at some numbers (numbers are fun!)... The overall record of the teams the Broncos have beat during this 7-1 stretch is 39-52 (.428).

Of the teams with a winning record (there are four of them), the Bears are currently 7-6, but were without Cutler when they played the Broncos (they've gone 0-3 without Cutler, by the way). The Raiders are 7-6, but were playing their first game with Carson Palmer at QB that week. The Jets are 8-5, but the Broncos defense held them to 13 points that week (again, the Bronco's defense being the real story here).

The other team they played with a winning record, the Lions (8-5), stomped them 45-10.

The other four teams (Dolphins, Chiefs, Chargers and Vikings) are a combined 17-35 (.326). The Broncos' average margin of victory over these four bottom dwellers? A whopping 3.25 points. Impressive!

Don't expect any miracles this week. A real team, with a real NFL QB, is coming to Mile High. No hate, just the facts.
