Indy OR New England

Man with my lead only 6 games and my average of 10 + games a week so far this season, I want to make sure that I don't blow this game

My gut tells me that the Pats will win the game, but it is in Indy

Thoughts?

Yeah I agree Rusty, but man I am going to have to read into this game a little more. I usually make my picks by Wednesday evening. I may have to wait until the end of the week this time, or at least change them

Gonna be a fun game to watch regardless. How anybody can go against the Pats at this point is nuts but I would love to take the Colts in this one. Too bad Manning didn't complete a pass till into the 2nd quarter of yesterdays game...that was a bit odd but they came on strong to win it.

Indy showed me a lot last year when they came back in the AFC championship game. I wouldn't sell them short here.

The Pats have only been smacked in the mouth once this year when Dallas took a lead on them in the 2nd half.

Let's play the game!

Meik, i don't really think it should take too much of reading about this game. We've seen what both teams can do, and as cliche as it sounds, its going to come down to execution. Which team plays better on one sunday. I don't think anyone would be shocked if either team won.

Assuming that the Pats continue to fire on all cylinders as they are right now, they should win this game. If Maroney can run the ball fairly well for them, they should be able to win somewhat easily. I don't believe they will win by 17 or more like they have been, but I do think they win by more than a touchdown.

The Pats haven't been running the ball much and all that well...but they really havne't needed too anyway...that won't get any easier against Indy's run D. I am excited to watch this game...I just hope that regardless of who wins its not a blow out on either side (which I really doubt) but that would just ruin it.

I am going to be switching this all week! I know that I should go with the Pats, but it is in Indy!! Point spreads and favorites are not in play here!

Why exactly are you asking us? You obviously know football and picking winners better than the rest of the site.

If the Pats win it means that Jesus has forsaken mankind, pure and simple.
