this years playoffs are a crapshoot, there's a 50/50 chance of either team winning. i have a gut feeling about the colts but....i live in indy and it's nice to have the colts win, but win or lose life will go on.

This year can really go either way but my feelings on the game is that if the colts show up as the team that they have the potential of being, and not the colts who do just enough to get by then they will absolutly man handle the patriots stat wise, maybe not score wise but they will win. Yes the patriots and colts met before and the colts won. Yes the patriots are a different team in the playoffs.

Although the colts were performing terribly after their bye week they still managed to beat the patriots. The one thing the patriots haver to their advantage is experience in the playoffs. That was obvious in the game against San Diego. All I hear is this "choke" colts. How often have the colts choked in the playoffs? If anything they now have the experience and with each missed oppurtunity comes a lesson learned.You have brady who is notorious for 4th quarter come backs against Peyton manning who not only is known for the 4th quarter hurry up offense come back but also his ability to expose any defenses weak points.

Brady specializes in short quick passes and Peyton Manning has more diversity. Yes brady is money in the playoffs but Peyton is money all the time. The colts demonstrated their defense is a force to be reckoned with against the ravens and that against the best defense in the league that they can still perform well enough to get points up on the board. If the colts show up, they got it. If not, NE will capitalize early.

Peyton is not money all the time (see Indianapolis Colts, playoffs and Brady - Superbowl rings --> thats MONEY right there, stats are crap W's count). He had a horrible game against Baltimore. The only thing that kept indy in the game was Baltimore's lousy offense, look at the stats. All the Pats have to do is step up on D an dkeep Manning off the field, it's not simply a Brady vs Manning game.

Gonna be a great one to watch fellas!

it would be nice if indy wins, this town has gone ape. went downtown yesterday and checked out all the stuff going on, this is a big deal for indy. there is alot of presure on colts to win, if they loose a lot of people in this city will say its because they 'choked'. with a new stadium going up 4 blocks from the rca dome you can bet the pressure is on. this is a make or break game for the colts. i am betting on them to come through.

You're kidding right? Peyton can be "money" all the time other than the playoffs, but he'll still be standing there on the outside looking in. I don't doubt manning and his ability b/c he's an excellent QB, but new england will beat ya in many ways and they always find a way to win in the playoffs. Yes last weeks win in san diego was ugly, but they still found a way to win as they always do. A win is a win regardless of how you get it done.

It's interesting how many analysts said that whoever wins vs SD goes on to win the superbowl - but those same analysts are now picking the colts!

It's building up!

they are the same analysts who picked kc and the ravens to beat the colts, so you didnt listen to them then ,why start now? give me a break. those guys have access to all kinds of inside dirt if they wanted to dig for it. they read the sports page and listen to a few call in shows like the rest of us. experts my eye, they could care less who wins long as they get their paycheck. most are lazy azzes cashing in on once being players. i got no problem with that because everytime i turn on the news i see so called experts who dont know squat, and they are dealing with stuff alot more important than sports. experts my eye. expert bullshippers.

Colts win.

Exactly. Though since 2001, I believe, Brady has had the most 4th Qtr/OT comeback/victories, that was often because he only had to get them within FG range and hand the reigns over to Adam. Honestly, all firey Brady is the 'best Playoff QB ever' rhetoric aside, how many times had he been in that position? Less than a minute, without the luxury of bringing it to FG range; the TD was necessary, and he threw a pick.

This is why I hate the Patriots. Its mainly their supporters are such *******s about the game. I do not talk **** about my team being better than others. I state what I think is going to happen in a game and what I hope will happen.

People hate the Patriots for the very reason that you've most outstandingly exemplified.

To the Patriot fans: As I said, I don't talk **** about your team. I'm a gracious winner and loser as a fan of my team. But all the crap I heard this week made me very angry. So all the Patriot fans that talked so much smack can EAT A ****.

Be a little more civil next time. I know there's civil Pat fans on here (Vanilla Gorilla is the one I remember the best).

ALL, I repeat ALL of my picks were correct except for the Bears and Saints, I didn't take into account the weather, even though there were other problems. It was easy to see if one actually WATCHED the games.

I think sometimes that most "experts" haven't watched the games nor actually do much research. You can't judge outcomes by just reading stats. There is far far more to the game of football than stats. If you just WATCH the game, and know what you're watching, you can see the game develop. Its why I love football. Far more complicated than any other sport out there.

Peyton Manning is the best student of the game; EVER. Watch him play. Its fun when you know what's going on.

Well let me be the first to say congrats to the colts on a game well played.....however to have a patriot legacy the colts have a very long way my friend to prove themselves. To say patriot fans are A....., what's that all about. I think your just a little sore on how new england has dominated the colts in the past playoff years...... last time I checked talking trash was part of the game so if you can't handle it go back to watching tennis.....Yes we have dominated the playoffs the last 3 of 5 years....boo hoo ...when any team wins you have bragging rights and that's the way the game is so don't cry about it or the fans who exemplify it.....I'll still sit here and say brady is the man in the playoffs b/c he is with plenty of playoff recods to prove it......when manning wins 3 superbowls come back and talk to me b/c it won't happen in my lifetime. The colts won tonight, but still have not won a super bowl.....enough said

That's funny the best student of the game still has yet to win the biggest prize of them all......I'm all for saying manning is a great QB, but to say he's the best student of the game ever i think not. This is what i hate about colt fans......yes manning is great, but where's your ring boys.......

You're an absolute idiot. There have been PLENTY of absolutely GREAT players that have never won a ring but played the game. Football has 11 players on the field, not one you moron. And if you play on offense chances are your not playing on defense and special teams. One man can't control everything. Get over it. You're team lost and just because brady went to the superbowl and won three times doesn't mean it was him and only him who won the game.

The patriots have consistantly had a great team of players. Not just one player. No matter how good the players on your team are you will not make it to the big game if you don't know how to play with eachother. This is evident in many sports. Hell in the olympics our basketball team did terrible because they were all a bunch of egotistical showoffs.

I bet you'd be quick to jump on anyone who said LT wasn't one of the greatest running backs if he didn't get a superbowl ring. But you're just butt hurt because when it came down to it, Tom brady was not as clutch as peyton manning was in this game.

How long you been a patriots fan? I see you reside in florida. You sound like one of the bandwagon hoppers from 5 years ago. If that's the case, I'll be counting the days till you're a colts fan.
