Will New England beat Indianapolis?

Question

What do you all think about New England and Indianapolis? (Give real answers with reason. Not "The Colts are gonna' crush em" or "Indianapolis Sucks." Give reason, stats theories etc.)

Answer 1

NO,
Colts are the better team
:-)~

Answer 2

No. The Patriots are not the same as they were over the last few years because of free agency losses. The Colts are at home and are almost unbeatable at home. The last couple of games between the two, the Colts have OWNED NE. The Colts have a great running game that's actually two-dimensional instead of have only Edgerrin James. I know Rhodes has been there with james, but james got the majority of the carries. The Colt's run defense has improved VASTLY over the last three weeks and their pass defense is ALREADY flying all over the field, so it could be tough on NE if the Colts are successful in containing Brady.

Answer 3

I think Indianapolis has the advantage for several reasons. First of all it is at home, second they have New England's old kicker, and third, the Patriots secondary is injured, and weak. I don't think the Patriots run game was very effective last week against San Diego, and they won by a few lucky plays. I think the Patriots are too young, to beat a very disciplined and experienced Indianapolis team.

Answer 4

It's hard to tell. I thought that the Ravens would beat the Colts. I think if the the Pats are able to produce some significant offense against the Colts, then they will win. However, I personally think that the Colts can beat any team in the NFL if their defense plays like it did against the Ravens and Payton Manning plays up to his potential.

Answer 5

Anyone who said either team sucks or it is going to be a blowout knows nothing about football or is just being a moron. Sure it could be a blowout either way, but it is very unlikely.

I have a wierd feeling this game is going to come down to a long field goal by Viniteri which will form a "Curse of Ruth" type feeling in New England all over again. I see New England by 3 late, but clearly this game could go either way

Indy 24 Pats 21 in a classic. Both QBs put up great efforts.

Answer 6

I think that the pats will win
They have the ability to rattle QBs and Peyton cant handle the pressure. Peyton has 1 TD and 5 int so far this postseason and thats not good enough against the veteran postseason patriots. A few key Colts players are hurt and that will add to the frustration.
AND if Rodney ends up playing....Watch out!

Answer 7

Yea New England will beat the Colts! Cause Patriots ROCK!!

Answer 8

It'll be a tough game and most likely very close, I think the colts can do it, but then again look at how NE did the chargers. Quarterbacks are the biggest parts for both these teams, but I think NE has an advantage with their defence.

Answer 9

ne game has not been very impressive this year.they have been kinda outta sync. indy hasnt had great game this season, but they have been pulling off wins. with sanders back they are stopping em. and when peyton gets outta the pocket he does get nervous and throws some crazy balls. but finally the team is pulled in tight to where everyone is doing their job. and that makes a difference. i know they can beat ne, they just have to do it. none of the wins and losses before count for anything now. this is title champs not a tally of who has won the most. itll be a great game. go colts!!!!

Answer 10

NE will win because they have a history of beating the colts. NE also beat the team I thought would win it all, the Cargers.

Answer 11

well even though the game is over i was cheering the colts on all the way. tom brady is good but peyton manning is better
