Honestly, I am biased because I am a UT Vols fan, but I think with Indy being at home they will win. The Colts will turn off the air conditioner and turn on the heating in the RCA Dome to tire the Pats D-line. They will also add additional artificial noise to the Dome.
Maybe whoever has the ball last will win.
These teams will see each other again in the playoffs!

Whichever team picks up the most votes will win the game and this poll.

Barring key injuries, the Pats will go undefeated this year. They are unbelievable.

Let's see- the Colts beat up the Saints (41-10) in the season opener (gee, tough stuff there), then played a pretty solid Tennessee team and only won by 2 points (22-20), and most recently played Houston (Kubiak has this team on the right road) and barely squeaked out a win (30-24). Moving on to the Patriots who killed the Jets (again, tough stuff there, 38-14), followed by an annihilation of the Chargers (who have yet to utilize any of their talent this year, 38-14), and finally Buffalo (wow, how'd they do it!? 38-7)... Having said all of this and having looked at the stats, I am going with the Patriots. Though, I have to tell you, neither of these teams have played a truly "worthy" opponent yet this season. But, hey, I am just a Bears fan... What do I know?

How can you not say the Patriots, they have dominated everyone they have played, This could be one of the best teams ever to step on the field. With Brady and Moss and Maroney on offense howdo you stop them, than they have a punishing defense, this team just knows one thing and that is winning, no disrespect to the colts because they are a good team but seriously the beat the bears last year in the superbowl, the only reason the beat the pats in the AFC championship game was because of the patriots losing it not the colts winning it, So it will be the Patriots winning

The current betting line on this game hovers between 61/2 to 71/2 pts favoring the Pats..
The Pats currently own the greatest run differential (offensive points scored/defensive points let scored) 114/35.
The Colts are very good at 93/54
This translates to both teams being Excellent on either side of the ball, but the Pats are just a little better on both sides slight advantage Pats.
The points scored/points let trends over the last three weeks shows that the Pats defense is improving and the Colts is weakening, only incrementally so on for both teams but it's a thing to watch going forward. - slight advantage Pats
Both teams seem to have avoided the devastating injury through the first 3 weeks so there's no advantage there - push
Team Karma/ Team Psyche, it's a weathervane of the energy of the teams personality. The Pats cheating scandal will carry through the entire year, Coach Bellichik is likely to burn for this one eventtually, but the whole story is going to haunt them throughout the season. The Pats players have currently responded in the "US against THEM" defensive milieu and it works for them since the story broke their defense has sttepped up and only allowed 10 points. It will be interesting to see how this wears on them throughout the season. The Colts are the Champs that's usually a karma plus team psyche booster. They are currently the underdog in their own league (Pats are heavily favored to go all the way) and they are using this to circle the wagons and rally around. Coach Dungy is the White Knight (spritiually speaking) of NFL Coaches. and his team reflects that attitude. They are resilient and steady. Luke Skywalker to the Pats Darth Vader. no clear advantage yet - Push
Other Story Lines (aka who's prima donna will blow up first)
This one is easy. The Randy Moss watch. Moss is like Mt St. Helens on May 17th. 1980 a day before the explosion. It's only time before he does something profoundly stupid. The Colts biggest Prima Dona is also the posterboy for the boy Scouts - Peyton Manning. He's is the model NFL Citizen and the team is surrounded by guys like him. - Advantage Colts.
So in the end the Pats are slightly favored....it's going to be a interesting story to watch.

I think the Patriots look like the much better team right now. They've absolutley dominated everything, while the Colts do look good, the just haven't been as dominant. That will probably be the best game of the year though.

This shapes up to be a great game. A month away though means injuries could change either team. As they stand now I think the Pats will win in a close game. Pittsburg and NE would be a better game.

Colts and any other team to play New England this season will get my vote. I HATE New England. They can't play by the rules.

Indy needs to play better than they did last week or the Pats will bury them before half time.
