I have to side with Geoff on this one. I think you seriously overstate how bad the Colts were on the road this year. You know how many teams had a better road record than 5-3? Four in the entire league.
Also their offense, specifically Manning and the passing game, has very similar home and away numbers. Manning home this year: 67.9 Cmp%, 9.61 YPA, 26TD/5INT, 121.5 Passer Rating. Manning away this year: 67.3 Cmp%, 8.64 YPA, 23TD/4INT, 120.7 Passer Rating. And did you happen to actually see the game? The Pats D didn't just shut down the Colts offense, they completely dominated it.
