The oldest "cliches" favor these teams:

[sammythesage]

As already posted by others; "defenses win championships," would favor N.E. So how come dungy, a defensive master himself is getting no respect. His job will actually be much easier. But then again; colts running "their mouths" doesn't bold well. ARGH, like the colts; but gonna pass. would tease the under.

"the better rushing teams win championships" and look at smokey's results for the year. Easy pick; carolina right??? Well I hate fumbling foster, (one cannot not depend on to's however) and just got an erie; "eagle' feeling about this game. ARGH, like the panthers; but gonna pass again. Would tease the over in this game.

Agreed Dungy is getting zero respect. I expect to see a decent showing from the colts D. Everyone seems to forget it was really Dungy who engineered the championship bucs defense last year.

Over in the second game is also a great play IMO.

good luck

I feel Dungy not getting any respect because although he is a Defs Guru, he does not have the defensive talent to get it done like Belichick has. They are both good Defensive coaches, but they built their Def's differently. Indy, I think would be better if they had a bigger, stronger , DLine. Their secondary is good , LB's average , but the DLine is smallish and that whats give them trouble against big running teams.

When they become outmatched up front, Dungy now has to gamble more with bring up a safety for run support. It paid off against Denver, but good thing the Indy Off was on fire, or else KC could of made a run. Dungy has to gamble alot like this against teams that can run. But it will catch up to them if they get caught or come across a team with a coach like Belichick. JMO.
