I see the game as an interesting matchup on three levels. Of course, in recent years the Colts and Pats have been very interesting every time they play each other. First, the Colts defense is 180 degrees different through the first two playoff games than it was all during the regular season. They say that the return of safety Bob Sanders from injury is the key. IF - a huge IF - the defense performs up to the level of the first two playoff games, the Pats will not be able to run on them. Second, Peyton's performances in the first two games have been less than 50% of normal. He did not throw a TD pass vs. the Ravens, yet the Colts won. If he returns to normal on his home turf, the Colts will score enough points to win, which brings me to my third point............ The Pats know how to win. Period. I don't care if the Colts are 2 TD favorites. When the game starts, the two teams will be even with the Pats holding the decided edge in a close game, a la their win over the Chargers. I'm confident that the Colts can win the game if they can avoid turnovers, but I'm equally wary of the Pats' ability to control the tempo if the Colts allow them to run the ball. It should be a hard-fought and exciting game.
