WORCESTER, Mass. - The Patriots are back in the AFC Championship game after a few years, the Pats play the Broncos in Denver on Sunday at 3pm with the winner going to the Super Bowl.  98.5 The Sports Hub's Tim McKone likes the Pats to win this one on Sunday.  "It's hard to believe we're actually here with the Patriots playing in the AFC championship game,"  said McKone, "but they find themselves going to Denver which typically not a place where they do very well. I think the X factor here is that the starting quarterback for the Broncos Bo Nix is hurt so you're going to be going against their back up Jarrett Stidham a guy who spent some time in New England, and with the way that the defense has been playing for the Patriots I think this is a great spot for the Patriots and I expect them to be advancing the Super Bowl again as crazy as that sounds."
