The Chargers last week nickel-and-dimed themselves out of a chance to move on. They were the better team but they turned the ball over and committed dumb penalties and Brady was able to steal it back. The Pats aren't really that good but they always have a shot at beating teams that fold--I mean even with as bad as the Chargers played they still should've won!
The Colts mushed the Chiefs two weeks ago, not a surprise. I thought the way they mushed the Ravens last week was a bit more surprising. Peyton didn't run wild, they only put up 15 points, but they were better and they stuck that Ravens running game in the mouth.
The Pats really shouldn't be here. They're overachieving like nobody's business. Really I think they can only beat the teams that beat themselves. Belicheck is the clever who takes from the dimwitted. Are the Colts stupid? Will they fold? Will they choke? Will that run defense that stacked up LJ and Jamal Lewis in back-to-back weeks vanish under the Moroney-Dillon onslaught? Will Peyton throw 4 interceptions? I think the answer to all of the above is no. So how do the Patriots win? I don't think they do.
I think what looks like it should be the best game of the year (but wasn't Ravens-Chargers supposed to be the best game of the year?) will turn into a monstrous beatdown on the Pats. It'll be 14-0 by the end of the first quarter, 28-7 by halftime and that'll be all she wrote. Peyton Manning will unleash all of his fury on Belicheck and Brady and as the Colts gallop into the Super Bowl we'll opine that it was the end of an era. Or the beginning of a new one. Colts 41-17.
