12:45 p.m. ET: The New England Patriots are well-stocked to avenge their Week 12 loss in today's AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos.

The Patriots listed 21 players on their injury report Friday, but they're significantly healthier than they were when they played the Denver Broncos during the regular season. Wide receivers Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola and linebacker Jamie Collins all are expected to play after missing the 30-24 Week 12 loss. Tight end Rob Gronkowski and linebacker Dont'a Hightower, both of whom suffered injuries during the regular season matchup with the Broncos, also should play.

The Patriots ruled out guard Tre' Jackson and offensive tackle LaAdrian Waddle on Friday night. The Patriots must declare five more players inactive by 1:30 p.m.

The Broncos will start quarterback Peyton Manning, not Brock Osweiler, their Week 12 starter. They'll also have pass rusher Demarcus Ware, who didn't play during the Broncos' 2015 matchup with the Patriots.

Broncos cornerbacks Chris Harris and Bradley Roby are banged up, so covering Edelman and Amendola could be difficult.

The Patriots are favored by three points this afternoon despite losing to the Broncos less than two months ago.
