Colts/Pats score

[b bulldog]

I was on the Indy bandwagon up until yesterday on this game. I am now thinking the Pats will get the W, 38-35. One of the matchups worth following will be how Matt Light does against Dwight Freeney, how healthy Marvin Harrison and Tony Ugoh is for the Colts and Seymour and Watson for the Pats. One thing I've read is that the Pats may double Freeney quite often with Kyle Brady and Light. They could do this and still have Moss, Welker and Stallworth running routes which could really hurt the Colts secondary. The Colts need to establish a running game so they can control the flow of the game and keep the Pats O on the sideline. Pats DB, Ellis Hobbs will be locking up with Wayne all day so this could also be a big matchup in the outcome of this game. Wayne has developed into an elite WR and he should have a big day on Sunday. One more interesting matchup will be Adalius Thomas going against Dallas Clark. I think this will lean heavily towards the Colts as Clark is a very good pass catching TE. Sunday will be a great day of football

Pats win.

Actually the Colts defense is playing much better this year, on a par with its championship run last year. The Indy D is at least as good if not better than New England's up to this point--though with Seymour and Harrison back the balance might start to swing. Where NE outclasses everyone right now is an unstoppable QB and three dangerous receivers. But if NE doesn't establish a running game, Indy will start to disrupt Brady's game and he just might come back to earth.

I'm not thinking so much of him coming back to earth, but I would like his butt to land on it a few times...

i'll bet the pats win the game but they're not going to score 40 like they have all season long. i don't know....28-21?

You forget that the Colts have Peyton Manning and a solid run game. They're going to keep the NE offense on the sideline.

I think the speed of the Colts D will help them out in this game. freeney on turf is scarey.

[MadtownPacker]

I am leaning towards the colts in this matchup. The Colts defense plays fast in the games I have seen. I don't think brady will have as long to throw. If this one stays close colts win otherwise it becomes a blow out by the patriots early.

[BallHawk]

Colts 31
Pats 30

[Harlan Huckleby]

Pats 35 Colts 14

This is gonna hurt. Although not as bad as the Ohio State game tomorrow.

[Freak Out]

I wanted to go Colts...but I think the injuries they have really hurt their chances. Still should be close.

Pats - 33

Horseshoes - 27

C'mon Bulldog, we know who yer gonna pick.

I pick the Pats by a couple touchdowns.

Matt Light, fer instance, is playing good enough to single up on Freeney.

NE just might be the best team I've ever seen. We'll let the year play out, of course, but these boys are good.
