Been lurking around this excellent site for quite some time. I cap my own NFL and Baseball, and rely on the Cappers around here to help me out with Hockey, Hoops, and College Football.
I've had a pretty damn good Football season. A lot of it has been due to riding the Pats.
This team reminds me of the Bucs last year and the Ravens a few years back, before they went all the way, AND this team is much better than the team that Won it two years ago. Stats and trends are great, but things just seem to go right for this team.
Two schools of thought for this game:
1) Payton Manning is on fire, and will chew up yards to get it done.
2) Pats D will tame Manning at home.
I'm am big time on #2. adding the fact that Indy's D is also far from spectacular. Brady will chew THEM up. Manning will be harrassed, and Pats should get turnovers.
added advantage is that a large percentage of these Patriot players have been here before. They are disciplined, well-coached and less apt to make mistakes.
3 is a small number to lay.
I'll by the hook, as I always do in a 3 pt. game, and make the Patriots a Huge play.
