They've now won two tough road games in a row, which could be seen as being big tests for Peyton and Company.
Given that they've won these past two, how do you see the Colts finishing their season?

Mannings problems don't start until January.

The strength of their team isn't as strong as last year. However, I think they've already gotten past their two toughest teams to play (New England & Denver). Will they go 16-0? That's hard to tell, but they do know how to pull out the win this year even if the win isn't pretty like it was last year. They may lose 1-2 games this year but they will probably have home field advantage throughout the playoffs at the rate they are going. I think they learned last year what the Steelers learned the year before last. It doesn't matter what record you have, the team that plays the best in the playoffs is the one that is going to win the Superbowl. (The Steelers went 15-1 the year before they won the Superbowl, losing to New England).
History has shown that teams that normally blow out opponents all year long don't normally win the Superbowl. It's ones that win almost all of their games but barely win them. That's what the Colts are doing this year.
Also, the Colts started out the year with a bunch of injuries. They are slowly but surely getting players back from injuries. By the end of the year they should have most of them back, meaning they will probably be hitting full stride come playoff time. So they weren't kidding when they said they haven't played their best game yet. Last night was the first night that the defense actually played pretty well. Against Washington was really the first game that their offense played pretty well. To be 8-0 and have their two toughest games already behind them and them still not playing at full potential yet could make for an interesting post season for Colts fans.

I think they have the best shot at winning the Superbowl so far. I hope they win it Peyton deserves it, plus he is starting to age a bit.

They proved they can win against good AFC teams on the road and they are to be commended. Their next step is the playoffs and how they handle that.

They may go undefeated during the regular season, but once they hit the playoffs, it's time for them to choke.

about 13-3 because they will lose one game soon and then will rest their starters for the playoffs and lose another two. Then they will lose in the second round of the playoffs.

If they don't let up, they could go undefeated. However, if they meet the Patriots in the playoffs, watch out! That will be some game!!
Chow!!

I can actually see them going undefeated. This is Manning's best season ever.

They look Superbowl bound to me but there is still half a season to go and injuries can take their toll.
