I am going with the Colts. Indy 33, New England 24 Indy's got a helluva defense. They will rattle Brady just enough to throw those 1 or 2 crucial picks to turn the game in Indy's favor.
Im gonna say the Colts too since the game is in Indy. I think it will be a close game with AV winning it with a last second field goal. Colts 34 Pats 31
I never thought I'd say this, but I really do believe the Colts are playing good enough to defense to actually hold the Pats under 34 points. If this was the old Colts defense, the Pats could score 70 on them. Okay, a more logical prediction than my previous one. First off the Colts better get some pressure on Brady with Freeney and co. If they can't do that, it will be a long day for the Colts. Secondly, I think the Colts can create some early mismatches with Dallas Clark. Hopefully, this will open up some things for Addai and Reggie Wayne. A healthy Marvin Harrison would also help immensely...not sure if the Colts will get that. Something's gotta give eventually. Can the Pats continue to play on this high a level all season? If the Colts don't win this game, you can rest assure that they will have to play the Pats in Foxboro in the playoffs....something that they don't like. Plenty of good story lines in this game. 30-27 Colts.
I'm a Manning fan. With that said I still think the Colts lose. One matchup that just screams to me is Randy Moss against Bob Sanders. I know Bob Sanders is playing unbelievable right now, but how is a 5'8" DB gonna jump with Randy Moss. Moss has been catching "jump balls" while being double and triple covered all season long. Pats 31-27
