Denver -3.5 with a brand new Rookie QB against a surging Seahawks squad?

Journeyman · Nov 28, 2006

This just looks odd to me, how many rookie QB's have even won their first start as a rookie?

Seattle appears to be ready for a playoff run and getting healthy, while Denver is in chaos, throwing a rookie out there in week 13 while the team is struggling?

:thumbsup: cmon, Seattle outright, no?

It looks too obvious. Trap?

Cutler has an incredible arm. Very precise and a perfect throwing motion. He played great during the preseason, although that is just preseason he has the making of a great QB.

Anything is an upgrade from Plummer. He was that bad. I think they are favored more without him than they would have been with him starting.

I agree

well, Seattle could barely beat Green Bay, that roughing the passer call swung the game and shoudnt have happened,

we all saw how Dallas has reacted to their new QB

His first game though, how many rookies win their first start, not many.

Fundamentally speaking here.:think2:

Plus Denver has been sliding, the confidence level of both teams going in opposite directions....Rookie QB going againt the NFC defending champion who needs to keep winning themselves.

The Snow and QB rust was a factor....he looked better as the game progressed , if his WRs could only catch the ball!

I say stay off the game. Cutler and the Denver Broncos defense at Mile High? It's should be a hot matchup for those two esp. with the way that Seattle's been playing as of late.

one thing to consider though, usually those teams are so far away from being good that they can afford to replace a vet (see arizona, tenn), but denver has a stellar defense and is still playing for some playoff position, everyone says cutler is good, but who knows how he will play :icon_conf

remember when tommy maddox got hurt the second game of the season, and who stepped in? how did he do that year, and even that game and his first start? what did pitt have? they had a stellar defense, they didnt have to score a lot, neither does denver. (and just remember, im talking about ben pre-smashed head :nohead

Some good points being made here.

thank you, dont know where that came from but somehow it made it to the computer screen:modemman:

There's no shortage of hype surrounding Cutler. A lot of people wanted to see him go in immediately (especially after his smoking hot pre-season).

Looks like a good game to pass on.

jwblue · Nov 28, 2006

Hawks +3.5 seems like a good bet to me. Seattle looks like they may have begun to find their stride in the second half last night. The under sure looks good.

Denver looks like the way to go here.

Agree 100%.

I'd take Dallas if they were playing in this game.

Journeyman · Dec 4, 2006

I'm really disappointed I didn't pound this game.

Cutler looked like a rookie.

The kid has great potential though.
