With the level of decimation the Patriots are showing, I don't know how I could vote against them, regardless of being on the road.

I want the Colts to win but I just don't think it'll happen.

I bet Matt Cassel will be seeing more playing time.

uhhh NE has a better D. run game.. doesn't matter too much, the ne d is pretty fast and even if the backs penetrate the holes well, they won't explode like a run-based team. both teams are very pass-reliant and frankly brady dominated last year with average receivers, and this year with better r's, he's been showing what he's really capable of.
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.

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

my bad on the incorrect statements. totally realize addai is putting up huge numbers. and agree that the pats haven't played too good teams, but still...

seymour is back for the pats, say goodbye to the running game. you add a probowler to the line and that changes the game.
