Return to the scene of the crime! Didnt NE beat them last time there were undefeated? Isnt this were Indy went on a tailspin have u seen last 2 gms are they cracking. Matchup wise = Intangables + NE . Indys home record against spead this yr !

 

 New England wins

THE COLTS HAVE BEEN ON AN INCREDIBLE RUN.THEY'VE WON MANY GAMES IN A ROW BUT IT ENDS HERE.THEY CAN'T WIN EVERY GAME.IF THERE EVER GOING TO LOSE A GAME IT'S GOING TO BE AGAINST AN ELITE TEAM LIKE NE.BOB SANDERS IS OUT.THERE HURTING.IT'S A MATTER OF TIME.3 POINTS IS HUGE IN A GAME THIS CLOSE.

 

NEW ENGLAND +3

What about line movement, will there be any and which way will it go. I think Ind at home line may climb perhaps Pats bettors may be better served waiting till later in the week. I always back NE with my homer heart. Waiting for the numbers at little NE +3 may buy the hook to 3 1/2 if I have too.

I know Indy is on an incredible tear, but we're talking about the Patriots here. Give me the points and Brady. NE +3

I love teasing the underdog in this matchup.  I might take NE +10 with another game on a 2 team 7pter this week

I'll be surprised if there aren't a lot of points scored here.  NE defense has been shaky as of late and their best pass rusher is tully banta cain, probably misspelled that, but they do not have a legit pass rush.  Their secondary is slowly getting better, but the offense for the Pats is starting to get back to good form.  I like the Pats to win, but still think the over is probably the best bet on this game. 

Pats +3
Over 49.5

Tom Brady is 12-0 in a dome as a starter. Nuff said

Pats  34
Colts 24

Just teased NE +10 with Miami 3 can't wait to watch this game should be awesome

The Pats Will contain Regie Wayne and Frustrate Cry Baby Peyton for an easy 2nd half win. (IMO)

The key to beating Manning is easy....jammed his receivers at the line of scrimmage, and he'll throw it away. New England ability to put a hard hit on people is going to rattle a few Colts players, especially the rookies, this game.

New England +3

INDY  

the colts play OUTSIDE now....just sayin..

The roof is retractable they will be indoors this weekend.

Hey rekamyenoM, need to get your facts straight. Brady lost in the RCA dome on Januaury 27, 2007. ( 38-34 ). Any of you fools out there takin the Pats to win, please email me. I would love to fatten my wallet with your dollar bills ! Colts win this game....again

Mr. Brady, my name is Dwight Freeney...............here, let me help you up off the ground     Bill Bellicheat does not have enough defensive weapons to stop the Colts. Colts win this game and will await home field advantage throughout the playoffs. You Patriot fans are waiting for a train that has already left the station

 

Let's keep things somewhat mature here hugh? This behavior belongs elsewhere. Don't respond to this tool.

Uh, ricke 123.......didn't you just respond ?

Although I would like to believe Brady is 12-0 in a dome, he isn't.  Maybe in the regular season, but I would also have to check that, but he did lose in the RCA dome in 2006 as a result of the defense completely collapsing in the second half, wasn't his fault.  And as much as it pains me to bring it up, Zona has a dome, and I think they blew a pretty big game there in 2007 as a result of the offensive line probably drinking all night long the night before the superbowl.  However, that being said, colts defense is not good, especially with sanders out, and although dwight freeny is good as a pass rusher, all you have to do to neutralize him is to run straight at him as he will be ten yards in the back field as the ball is being handed off.  Pats defense isn't much better, but I think they do enough to win.  Over is the best bet, but I still have yet to be impressed by the colts this year. 

Pats - ML
Over 49.5

Lucas Oil Stadium is a Dome/Retractable roof. They will be playing INSIDE

And.... Tom Brady is 12-0 inside during REGULAR SEASON. Soon to be 13-0.

This should be an easy 10 point win for the Pats (IMO)

Just so you know... I was at this game and it was Sunday  JANUARY 21st 2007. Not the 27th.

YEP. This may be the greatest rivarly ever in just over 1 decade of NFL play. The series in the regular season this decade is 6-4 New England, playoffs is 2-1 New England - total is New England 8-5. Close! Each team 1-1 in title games - even. Over this decade the Colts have won 1 SB, started a season 7-0 or better 4 times and have won 12 or more games 6 times/6YR's in a row which is a record. New England has won 3 SB's, been to 4 SB's, and had an undefeated regular season. Doesnt get any better than this!!
