I maintain that it evens out and believe most of you do as well with the comments around 'epic collapses' which have happened. Hell, the examples provided earlier with 2006, 2008 and 2009 ... Denver started on the road and had an even split in the first 4. But, that's still used to defend the stance... interesting.
Take the Cowboys game last year --- Denver plays that same week in Dallas with the Cowboys (and I looked, Zeke played in Denver)... are we suggesting that Dallas would have rolled the Broncos?
Same with the Chargers and how they missed the final kick with the kicker that wasn't on their roster 6 weeks later?

The Chargers didn't miss the kick. It got blocked
Now your selling your own team short
