Gotta go with the Pats on this one. They're home and have a good running game.

Helps that Brady threw 4 picks. 
Honestly tho, the Colts are the only team I could see going 16-0, then lose in the playoffs. Their defense is built to hold a lead. And when they go against a team that can figure out how to fluster Manning, they lose.

Everybody knows how to fluster Peyton. They just cant do it. The Colt's offensive line provides much better pass protection than they did last year. Plus..Manning is scrambling better than he has in past seasons. The Colts have played some good blitz teams and won. (usually on the road) Actually...I only know of 4 good teams that the Colts havent and wont play in regular season. Chicago, Baltimore, San Diego, and Kansas City.
What I find amazing is the Colts do what they do and do it well even though they have more injuries than any other team out there. As I saw it...things werent looking good back when they were playing the Jets and Titans. I told some friends of mine I would be shocked if they made it to 7-0.
The Colt's defense is getting better. Most people were saying last week that the Pats and Brady was much better. So...I have to conclude that our defense helped create those turnovers versus it being just stupid mistakes due to lack of experience or skill. ;-)
You made a good point though. Manning and the Colts have to prove that they can deliver in the playoffs. Fortunately, it seems they have learned a lot from last year. Time will tell if they can keep the ball rolling.
I enjoy typing with you, Tennesse. Hope you do as well.
