If it were to come down to this based on last week's game (defense and rushing) at gillette stadium wouldn't you have to say the colts would beat NE in the cold and snow where you are gonna have to run the ball???

craig s when it is snowy the running game becomes alot more of a factor and usually there are alot less passing plays, now for the buckeyes guy, there was no noise being pumped in you dont know what your talking about and besides wait till the bcs title game (if your team doesnt lose to michigan 1st which i think they will) they will get spanked by a SEC opponent anyways just like they did last year boston college losing which by the way sucks, was you guys worst nightmare because now your staring at LSU which is by the way SEC, now that i have taken care of those 2 losers i think it would have to favor the colts they played alot better game than NE which thought they were gonna walk all over the colts and kimmie he wasn't sayin it was a disadvantage to play at your home field are you stupid??? you need to read the question again you must be a bandwagoner also

On hypothecial annalized. There is an automatic 7 points advantage given to the home team.
Then take out the bad ref calls.
Then take out the high noise volume.
Pat's have been know to play better in the snow. They don't fair as will in 85 degree tempertures.
Then let's throw a little something into the mix for the fun of it. The colts had there bye two weeks ago. So they come into the game more refreshed.
The Pat's are just going into there bye week. Which would be that the Pat's would be the more rest of the two.
So taken that into consideration I would say that Pat's would win however now I have to credit the players who were missing and now would be playing.
They Pat's will win but not by much.

Base on last week's game, there is one component missing - Marvin Harrison, one of the key player on the Colt's offensive line. So can we use last week as a prediction on future games? I don't think so. Though I am cheering for the Colts only because I hate the Patriots....
PS - unless you live in Boston, anybody who claims to be NE Patriots fan are the biggest bunch of bandwagoners ever...

considering that pats where healthy all the way and the colts had out there tackle that protects manning and not to mention harrison i would have to take the colts by 4 points
get harrison back and that tackle and then see whats up? yea i hear you on new england home field advantage but word of advice....... you really gonna pass it 40 times or more in 20 degrees weather? there gonna have to run in that weather bottom line. and thats why i say they dont go 16-0

I don't know why they'd have to run just because it's cold and/or snowy. And if the Pats have to run the ball, I believe they'd manage to do it just fine.
Based on last week, I think the only chance the Colts would have is to again get several phantom pass interference calls in their favor. Without those calls - and letting the Colts get away with defensive holding - Indy really wouldn't stay too close.

Don't know don't really care as I am a Chargers fan. People are saying that the Colts and Patriots have a giant rivalry going on but I think that pales in comparison to the Chargers vs Raiders rivalry as they both stemmed from the Los Angeles Chargers. So the Pats are 9-0 right now, they are as over rated as David Letterman. Patriot fans get over yourselves.

Pats will win, homefield advantage, and the cold weather, does not work well, for a team used to playing in the cozy comfort of a dome... Pats had an off week, and were not playing their best... so we'll see when it comes down to it...

The Pats wanted and forced the Colts to run Sunday, the next game at Gilette they will want and force them to pass.

Pats. It's their home field. It sounds like you're saying it's a disadvantage to play at your home field. That simply isn't true. That Pats won at the colts home field, I promise you they can win at their own field. The colts better pay attention and not get knocked out before that.
