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.
also look at who the pats have been playing
jets - 1-7 pretty bad
chargers - 4-3 sucking for some reason but should be doing a lot better
bills - 3-4 bad
bengals - 2-5 bad
browns - 4-3 surprisingly good but still not that good
cowboys - 6-1 pretty good and gave the pats a game for 3 quarters
dolphins - 0-8 joke
redskins - 4-3 not very good
so what if they ran up the score on some crappy teams
combined record for pat's opponents 24-34
combined record for colt's opponents 27-24
