The edge in the coaching matchup certainly goes to NE, however last time I checked the coaches didn't play defense and if anyone was paying attention the Steelers defense gave the Jets exactly 3 points.

Game on.......

Oh, lol. Now that post was a mistake. If you were paying attention, LMAO, the Pats gave the Colts (you know, best offense in the NFL, record-breaking QB blah blah blah) 3 points as well.

All in good fun, but that post there made me laugh LMAO. The Jets vs. Colts offense can't be compared. Pennington might be a "cutie" ROTFLMFAO, but the Colts O is 10 times what the Jets O is.

I will bet money for anyone that wants it that the Pats will not be up 21-3 at the half. The Colts for the 2nd year in a row tried to beat the Pats with the pass. Look at the Steelers game earlier this year. You have to run the ball to beat the pats and I think the Steelers will be able to run the ball again.

Well, maybe not. If you look a bit deeper you will see that outside of that dome they play in the Colts went 5-3 on the road scoring an average of 32 points in the wins against teams that were a combined 17 GAMES UNDER .500!!!! Hardly a team to worry about on the road, hardly. So the win against Indy is not as impressive as it would appear now was it?

You just don't hear that stat on ESPN every 5 minutes like you hear how impressive Payton Manning is huh, when in reality outside the comforts of home that offense is pretty average now isn't it? Two of their road losses were to KC and Denver, a combined .500 the other loss was obviously to NE.

Ever ask yourself even one time in your life how the hell Vegas wins every week when the bettors get to pick which side they want, even once wonder? Well now you know, because Joe Public only bets based on what ESPN tells them, and last week's game was a perfect example, the public drove that line to a 4 or 5 point swing some place in favor of the Colts and they were never in that game, were they?

Laugh all you want, but the fact of the matter is that the NE win over Indy was not all that impressive when you get right down to it and THEY are the ones in for a tougher game than they played last week.

To be continued.......

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.
