If referreeing interference is minimal, I believe it will be a defensive game and the Under is the better play. Denver has to make it a highly defensive game to have the best opportunity to actually win. I do agree with you about the game being much different these days. It seems to me that the higher scoring is often predicated not only on coaching strategy but also on how the game is referreed.
In a big game like this, I believe the referees will be more careful about staying out of the way and letting the players and coaching determine the outcome. Either way- I enjoy your posts Coddfish- BOL and enjoy the game.
