This is the thing... I don't think the Colts suck. Are they are rival and do I hate losing to them? More then ANYTHING! The Colts are a great team, if they weren't... they wouldn't be in the position they are year after year. It's just they've lacked that something extra to get that extra step... I still feel they do, but atleast they have a superbowl title... they do deserve it. If there is any other team outside of the Patriots that definitely earn its the Colts. Do I think that the Colts at their best could beat the Patriots at their best? Absolutely not. Belichick is a better coach then Dungy and Brady is a better QB then Manning. If you ask me are these Colts a great team... I say yes, absolutely, one of the best ever. You ask me whose better... the New England Patriots... BEST EVER! But the Colts don't suck... give them a break, or not... it's not like they'll be any worse if you hate them.

I'm a Patriots fan too, and don't think that the Colts suck. and I do look forward, each year to watching the two teams clash, it's always the best show in football....
Nor do I think that Peyton Manning sucks.
Nor do I hate any other team or player (well maybe Vick, but that's for non football related reasons).....
I don't wish any of them harm, (as many seem to do.. so many horrible thoughts expressed by some mentally challenged fans)..
I do think that Belichick is the best coach, bar none (get over the camera thing, already)
If your team, loses to the Patriots, or any other team for that matter, don't look to the winning team as the reason your team lost, look at your team, obviously, they were doing something wrong, or not playing hard enough.... stop making excuses.. the sun was in their eyes, the grass was too long, the grass was too short.. it's pointless and childish
And, I do think that the Patriots are going to win it all this year.... ;)
Go Patriots

You have class my friend & speak the truth. I don't care if you like the Patriots but to say that the Colts suck, needs a reality check. Last time I heard, they won the Super Bowl. You can hate your team rivals but to say the suck, is absolutely ridiculous. I like the Skins & I hate the Cowboys but I do have respect for them because I know they are a good team. Some Pats fans are already saying just hand over the Super Bowl trophy & how they are going to go 19-0. Honestly, do any Pats fans seriosly think they are going 19-0, & if so, you need to wake up & take a reality pill

As an NFL fan I love watching the Patriots lose, shame it doesn't happen more often. But I also love the Colts sucking because I'm from Baltimore and that should still be our team.

Being a fan of a team doesn't necessarily require you to hate your rival. As long as you don't think the Colts are better than the Patriots, then I would say that your fandom is still legitimate.
I'm a Bears fan, and I respect Brett Favre of the Packers.

It's always good to objective the Pats and Colts in the catagory of 49ER'S VS NYGIANTS AND COWBOYS VS 49ers so right now this the rivalry of this decade, So sit and enjoy this show because one day the will both fall off and these days will missed! Now the Brady vs Manning thats for another day but I do disagree on that one even though I would take ethier one to run my offense.

It's cause we Colts fans don't run around saying our team is the best and everyother team sucks. We're more civil than 98% of Pats fans. Finally though, someone who isn't dumb like that. Good Job.

The sky may be the limit as far as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are concerned, though some pro football observers and analysts say they have "lines" drawn in the sands of their minds they won't cross.
Any good handicapper is also a solid linesmakers, so folks in the business usually share some similarities in the way they fashion personal power ratings.
Everyone knows, for example, that home-field advantage typically is worth a field goal.
Still, there's as much as a 10-point difference in those lines, even when it comes to Mr. All-American Brady and his happy bunch of warriors.
Sports gaming insiders began a public debate recently over "How high is too high?" when the number on last week's New England at Miami game reached Pats minus 17 1/2.
Miami money then bought the number back down by game time.
Las Vegas Sports Consultants sent the Patriots out as a two-touchdown favorite, but most Sin City books opened at minus then watched the number inch up before hitting reverse.
This week, New England giving 16 to Washington in one Las Vegas football handicapping contest and 16 1/2 in another.
Bodog had the number at 17 Thursday afternoon.
Professional Handicappers League member Russel Joseph says the number of points he'd lay on a game isn't written in stone.
"This past Sunday we saw the New England Patriots crush Miami 49-28 and easily cover the spread as a 15 1/2-point favorite," Joseph said.
"Some thought it was ludicrous how high the line was, but obviously those people were wrong.
"The Pats covered and then some.
"Double-digit faves can be dangerous or they can be valuable.
"One has to first seriously consider the teams involved, as the final decision certainly can overtake the fear of having to win by doubles."
PHL member Jimmy Boyd also doesn't have a set number.
"It depends on too many factors," said Boyd, who "didn't touch" New England-Miami.
"My lean was on Miami, though," he admitted.
"It was only the second time since 2001, I believe, that a team had been favored by more than two TDs on the road.
"That kind of makes you smell a rat.
"Obviously in this case, Miami's QB situation and the fact that New England has covered every game this season while blowing out its opponents gave bookmakers no choice but to post a big spread because they knew the money would be rolling in on the Pats."
PHL Commissioner Brian Gabrielle doesn't like to lay more than two touchdowns (14 points) -- and this is where he and White part company, as the oddsmaker can see hitting 24.
"There is just no incentive to run up the score, so even if a team is capable of winning by 30, there is no motivation for them to do so," Gabrielle said.
"That's not the case in college football, where a soft opponent in the later stages provides a nice environment for a strong team's starters to tee off on in preparation for an upcoming stronger opponent."
LVSC's White could see going as high as a four-posession game -- a trio of TDs plus a field -- with these particular Pats.
He insists certain conditions would have to prevail, however.
"If you got to the end of the season (Dec. 23 actually) and Miami is going to New England with the Pats needing the game, I could see New England being favored by 21 1/2, 23 to 24," White revealed.
"I don't think the Dolphins will go to New England with the Pats needing anything.
"I think we'll start tying things up in a few weeks."
White, like many, is biding time until the NFL regular season's Game of the Year: New England versus reigning Super Bowl champion Indianapolis -- the loop's two remaining unbeatens -- Nov. 4 on the road.
He believes the Colts' impressive victory over Jacksonville Monday night should have lowered the potential spread a notch or so from New England minus 4 to 4 1/2 to Pats minus 3 1/2 to 4.
