Ted McDonald is from Massachusetts but lives in Texas. He's cautiously optimistic of a Pats victory. "I'm looking for a Patriots win but it's going to be tough. This has always been a tough place for the Patriots to play. When I was a little kid, we lost here 44-10 and I'll never forget it. Right? This is a torture chamber for us here, so I'm really looking forward to the game!"
Patriots' fans who were lucky enough to escape the snow storm and bitter cold in New England are hoping for one more thing that it doesn't rain for the game Sunday. That's because Mile High Stadium does not have a roof.

Steve Dewitt gave 22News a private tour of the stadium. He's a Broncos fan but his family in western Massachusetts is certainly not. "Supposed to be a wonderful day, 45 degrees, but maybe some precipitation after halftime so we'll see what happens but hey the last time we beat the Patriots in town it was a snow game, so that wasn't a problem."
Hundreds of Broncos fans rallied in downtown Denver on Friday, confident Peyton Manning would carry them to the Super Bowl. However, local Pats fans were just as sure their team would win.
The AFC Championship game kicks off at 3:05 p.m. EST Sunday at the Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium. Broncos' fans said they hope the Mile High altitude will slow down the Patriots.
