Bill Speros writes: "The NFL's 'Nightmare Before Christmas' features the worst-in-the-AFC Patriots visiting screaming Sean Payton's Denver Broncos. This line has ebbed up to 6 points. Given a potential for a total below 30 points, we're going to avoid that price. In the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge, we'll be stingy with the total. Five of the Broncos' past six games against AFC opponents have gone under the total."
