i do agree the colts have been going under the radar, and i'm not downplaying their abilities, but as of right now the patriots are on a crazy roll and i earnestly do not think that the colts will win even with the home field advantage.
Patriots.
Few things wrong with your statement
-Indy has given up less points per game and is better on pass defense
- Joseph Addai is probably the 3rd best back in the league based on stats, so saying that the running game wont matter is a little presumptuous.
-Brady didn't dominate last year...he had 24 TDs and 12 picks with a very "human" QB rating of ~87...he's already got 6 more TDs this year than ALL of last year, and it's only been 8 games.
But yes, I still agree that the roll the Pats have been on will be extremely hard to stop.
