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.

I'm flattered.

I pretty much agree with everything you say, but i honestly think the Patriots will do what everyone else has done this season which is drop 8 back to cover. If you dont and you try to blitz Manning, you are fucked. Same with Brady. I think Brady and Manning are the most adept out of any other QB in the league, at picking up the blitz and making the reads and burning the blitzes constantly.The Pats run defense looks very shakey. indy will run that ball and be patient. I seriously think Edge is the best he's ever been right now. If Steve Smith wasnt tearing it up right now in Carolina, i'd be crying MVP for Edge right now. He's gunna have a huge day on Monday night as long as he doesnt turn the ball over like last year.

I dont expect the Colts to score over 35. I think they will play ball control unless New England allows them to go up top . If New England doesnt drop 8 back Indy will go deep.

I think New England is going to have to play a near perfect game to beat Indianapolis. If they do and they beat Indy. Hats off again , but i dont think Indy is gunna shoot themselves in the foot this year like they have in the past. New England is gunna have to play about 10X better then they are playing right now to beat the Colts.

I had no clue Richard Seymore has been out.


P.s. I think Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney are gunna wreak havoc on Brady. Your Offensive line dont look average.
