LA it DOES matter who wins because they will see each other in the playoffs and this game could likely decide if this game will be in Indy or in Foxboro

Zakk, Dallas is an ok team but you honestly can't be comparing them to Indy. Com on!

The Pats have been winning by passing.
Sunday they will be going against the number one ranked pass defense in the NFL, and the number two ranked over all.
If the Pats can't run the ball (and they can't) they will lose this game.
The Colts can Pass AND run efficiently. They win it by 14.

Something is Wrong with the Vegas line here....The Colts have won (including last year) what 12 games in a row? And now they are playing AT HOME for probably home field advantage throughout and they are a HOME DOG?
Dungy = defensive coach. What will he do? Exactly....try to grind out a running game (Addai) mixed in with short passes (Dallas Clark), et al. Also, check to make sure as the game approaches, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Marvin Harrison back playing this week. So, Indy grinds down the clock with long drives, keeps Brady off the field, and avoids turning over the ball on offense. Vinatieri is still solid so any long field goal within reason should be splitting the uprights.
I think Indy wins a close one. Their defense is much improved over last year and they know the consequences of losing to the Pats. If they can pressure (and get to) Brady, then they have a chance.
Take the points and Indy....again, IMO.

I am dallas fan, I will comment on the question, even tho I just asked one exactly like it. If it came down to strictly about the tems I have to go with NE they are a really good team, but I want the colts to win because of their team values and the fact they play fair and dont cry about it when they lose. Brady gets all over worked and cries about it.

Will say it right up front - Pats fan all the way. I did not like what they did on Sunday, leaving Brady and other starters in with the game so lopsided...but that aside, they are clearly the best in the NFL. Yes, the Colts are a good team too but watch what happens if the Indy front line is penetrated. Manning folds like a house of cards! I just love to watch that because he is clearly PO'd with his front line. Great TV! Pats are going to more than cover the 4.5 points.

All we can do is sit back and watch. People who think they can predict this game are delusional. These are the best two teams in the NFL,period, end of story. Both teams have improved over last year. And you are right it does matter who wins, this game will more likely decide who gets to play at home during the playoffs.

I would love to see the Colts win this game, but unfortunately I can't figure out who CAN beat the Patriots right now. If anybody has a good shot, it's the Colts. But you all saw what the Pats did to Dallas.

These 'Game of the Century' types don't often live up to the hype. When they do, they are great but the odds are this game will not be that close. Chances are, one team will play well and not make many mistakes and the other team will stumble a bit, fall behind and make a mistake or two trying to catch up. Who that team will be is anyones guess.

Colts. 31-21.
I love how Dallas fans are ready to declare the Pats Superbowl winners because they beat the Cowboys. Please.... Cowboys are not that stong of a team yet.

The Pats are currently a 4.5 favorite. Unfortunately, I have to work Sunday. No TV.

Great game... fun to watch, will be in downtown Indy... tailgating, drinking, going to the game( free tickets... yeah). Doesn't really matter who wins because they will see each other come Playoffs; then it will matter.
