Colts will beat Pats
Each year when the NFL schedule comes out, I, as a Colts fan, must look to see where the Patriots are in the lineup. This year, the Colts will travel to Gillette Stadium on November 7th, a place where the Colts normally fall apart.
This year's records will tell you that the Colts are simply a better team, long gone are the days when you plan on scoring 30 pts a game against them.
Make no mistake, the Colts are superbowl contenders if they can somehow win in New England. With Colts opponents all dropping both safetys and pinching Reggie Wayne and Marivn Harrison to the middle of the field, nothing in the passing game is coming easy, however with only 7 defenders on the box, the Colts run game is one of the best in the league averaging 123 yards per game and Edgerin James is second in rushing to only Shaun Alexander.
The Colts have become a ball control team out of necessity. Admittedly, I loved it when Manning would throw 5 td's a game, but I am ready to embrace this new style as solid running games and defenses win championships. When the Colts take the field on November 7th, the Pats will play us like they always do, they will save their best for us. I expect them to shut down our receivers and score 14-17 points, however they will not stop Edgerin James. They have not seen this much power before from #32, and despite multiple Colts losses in New England, James has always performed well. James will have 3td's against the Pats.
This Colts team now knows how to win without getting huge plays from its offense. On Monday Night Football against the Rams, I watched as Manning worked a drive that lasted for over 6 minutes, something we never used to do. The Colts D-line will pound Brady this time around, as they have every QB they faced this year. Ask Byron Leftwich, Mark Bulger, Trent Dilfer, Steve McNair, and Alex Smith how it feels to get hit by Robert Mathis, Dwight Freeney and company. I look forward to watching Brady get beat up, as the Colts win: 31-17 and move to 8-0, in prime position to win 14 games and take homefield throughout the playoffs and finally get a home AFC chamionship game.
