A lot of people are liking Indy SU here, but have they forgotten how good the NE defense is? They've been hurt half the year and still got the job done - remember the licking they gave the Rams when the line went from NE -2pts to NE +2pts??! NE's offense will take advantage of Indy's weak defense.
With an extra week's rest, I say NE wins by at least a TD.

Hey Guys...
Funny how alot of people are discounting the fact that his game will be played outdoors and on grass, a look at the colts schedule shows that of the colts's four losses this season, three of those losses took place outdoors at New England 24-27, at Kansas City 35-45, and of course at Denver 14-33.
We can over-look the regular season ending loss at Denver but what does that say about the colts depth and backups when both Pittsburgh and New England both played backups in their seasonal finales and still won?
A check backward in time shows that since Manning took over as the colts starting QB in 1998, the colts have gone 25-25 straight up in all outdoor games, meanwhile the colts record in domes over the same time period is a much better 45-24....things that make you go Hmmmmmm!!
take care and good luck

Indy is 4-4 ATS road.
Home team has some strong numbers, 29-2 last 31 games, 18-0 (13-3-2 ATS) last 18 home games, 5-0 (4-1 ATS) last five meetings, Brady has won all six playoff starts. Indy no doubt is a high flying power, more so in a Dome. Still, have to back the Champs. Bol All. (standard disclaimer: ihbwb)

X-Box has Pats 45 -38..They have been picking Pats games right on the money most of the year.
The other part is is people don't even mention the Pats offense,which scored the 2nd most in franchise history this year with a coach that is hardly like Steve Spurrier. Pats will match them point for point.
