Took ya off block this week RP.
As for no excuses, I agree. The Colts have probably the best team they've ever had, the Patriots clearly don't have the same team, many key injuries, but it's football you have to learn to win without people.
Now, if Manning or Brady went down, I'd say yeah, one team had a "reason".
That being said, I'll be rooting for the Pats but I wouldn't bet on them.
How can someone not pick the Colts?
I don't see it being a run game though, With Bruschi back and talk for Seymor coming back, I think the Colts best bet it go deep, strech the DB's, have Wilson trying to run all over the place and send whoever has Starks man-on-deep and pick on him all night long. Then, with a lead and the Pats on their heels you run the ball to control the clock.
How will the field be is always a "issue" in Foxboro. My understanding is Sunday Night their is a MLS playoff game, so I wouldn't expect the field to be great, but the weather has been good so I don't think it will be that bad, but of course expect the home team to look for any advantage possible.
For the Pats to win, run the ball, control the clock and keep Manning off the field, you're not going to win a shoot out with this Colts team.
Either way, the AFC championship is going to go through Indy this year, even with a Pats win, Indy will still most likely have the best record at seasons end giving them homefield for the playoffs which is what a Dome team really needs.
