Ya know, I thought about this for the last 5 days. While I keep trying to logically think of reasons while the Colts will win, and there are many reasons why they can, I came to the conclusion that I'm only doing this to soften the blow should the Patriots lose.
But, botton line: are you going to bet against Belichick and Brady? Brady is 12-1 in the playoffs, Belichick 12-2. How many times is it going to take for the Patriots to win with less talent for most people to understand as long as Belichick and Brady are there, the team will be a Superbowl contender?
You see, the Patriots are more talented in the areas that matter most. Head coaching, quarterback, and the "second tier' players. Yes, San Diego's top 5 or 7 players are more talented than the Patriots, but the rest of the Patriot's roster is better than most in the NFL. And that my friends is the formula to win consistently in the salary cap era.
Which brings me to another point. I'm going to start a new thread about Brady and Manning. If it gets moved to another topic look for it.
