-The Colts give up an average of 272.9 yards per game. They give up an average of 165.4 passing yards and 107.4 rushing yards.

General Stats

-The Patriots are 8-0
-The Colts are 7-0 (had their bye-week already)

-The win average for the teams the Patriots have played is 42.6%.
-The win average for the teams the Colts have played is 54.3%.

I'm predicting the Colts personally, because it's a home game for them and the RCA Dome is incredibly difficult to play in. The Patriots use a lot of audibles and the RCA Dome is so loud that the Colts have been accused of feeding sound into it multiple times. I think that's enough to make up for the difference in their stats. So, what do you guys predict and why?

You nerds shouldn't be talking about this. This is a man's domain, and you're not fit to even think about it.

It's okay though Bod, because although I'm talking about sports I'm doing it in an incredibly nerdy stat and percentage filled way.

I'm going with the Colts. For one thing, I love an underdog. Another thing is, even though I've always liked the Pats since I was a kid, I'm pretty sick of the way the media just heaps praise on them.

As for reasons why the Cotls might win...The Colts are the champs right now. Manning and the Colts have been fighting for pride for a long time now. Now that they've got it they're going to step it up a level to keep it. I also have been a huge fan of Dungy since his days in Tampa. I think he's a great coach, and if anyone can draw up a defensive plan to thwart the Pats, it's him and his guys. I'm also looking at the fact that the Cotls have had to fight for a game this year; the Pats have not. Who knows if things will keep running so smooth when you're the one getting slapped around. Maybe this will be the game where Randy Moss shows he still has the maturity of a 12 year old and starts acting like a diva. :)

I won't be surprised if the Pats win, as they have easily been the top team this year. I just don't think blowing teams out is quite as impressive as winning closer games on a consistant basis. Brady might set some records this year, but if he keeps chucking the ball like this all year, it's going to bite them in the rear before it's over.



"I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself."

I am going with the Pats.  In the games I have watched of the two teams, the Colts just do have an answer on defense for the amount of weapons the Pats have on offense.  I mean, Brady can make a weapon out of any guy in uniform out there.  Plus, Manning is just not that good under pressure, and I think the Pats are going to put the pressure on him in the backfield.  They both are great teams, and clearly the best right now, but I think that the Pats are just too strong.  The only way the Pats will lose this game is if they screw up in my opinion which is not impossible.

The Colts will lose.

Why? Because Peyton manning will get injured while filming for one of the ten commercials he'll be starring in this week.

In all seriousness, I figure the Patriots are going to be pressing their assess off this game though, and though the colts are going to match up for the first 3 quarters, the final quarter will see 10 unanswered points from the Patrots.



See Ya George.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

PATRIOTS OF COURSE!!!

Tom Brady it´s the best player in NFL



Patriots.

They can drive the ball down the field a lot harder IMO.

Definitely frustrating to watch them hand the Cowboys their first loss.
