You and Lemp like the Colts huh?hawkeye171 said:
Have no strong opinion on the game, but will be pulling for the Colts on Dallas's behalf bigtime.
Some critical factors though that ic favoring the PATS........
1. Home field
2. Belechick this much time to prepare
3. Colts bad history vs. NE
4. Public on Colts....including you two losers. :finger:
Man, almost talked myself into taking the PATS after typing that.
I might be a square, but at least I am a Pats fan. I am off to Foxboro with my kid in a few. We don't have tickets for the game, and I don't feel like spending $500 so we'll just tailgate and come back home. My kid wants to see the stadium, and we're going to have a cookout
My take on the game:
This game is scaring New England fans - and you can hear it on all the radio shows in the area, whether it is in Providence, RI or Boston or Worcester. While the wahooos are talking about a huge win, most fans are nervous.
While I am WORRIED that Indy might win, I feel the Pats can pull it off at home.
If I HAD to bet on the game as "a neutral fan", I would take Indy small.
If I had to look into the numbers, I would see how drastically different Indy plays against good defenses and how much their scoring drops on the road and I would take the Pats.
Trash talk: I think Corey Dillon is going to hurt Manning's feelings again - and I hope Archie "allows" Peyton to play today.

I won't be betting this one. My leaning is towards Indy. My reason: it feels like it's Peyton Manning's time. The Colts remind me of the 49ers that year they obliterated everyone with Steve Young. He's so smart and he's got the tools. It seems like it's time for the coming-out.
But I thought the exact same thing leading up to this match-up in last year's playoffs. I'm on the sidelines for this one.
