Colts / Patriots

[CommissarSpartacus]

I see the Patriots are a mere 9 1/2 pt favorites over the Ryan Grigsons.

Brady and Belichick and Kraft would prefer to crush them by at least 50 points.

I see a beatdown of epic proportions here.

I see the Patriots going 14-2. One team will catch them sleeping, and they will lose the last game because they will rest all the starters. They will dominate every other game.

Sickening.

I think this could be the year that sees two undefeated teams meet each other in the Superbowl.

That would be fun, but not gonna happen sadly. The Panthers and Packers play each other and I can't see either of those teams going 18-0 regardless. The Patriots have a real chance though.

I can see the Packers go 18 - 0.

Green Bay traditionally isn't a great road team. They still have Denver, Carolina, Minnesota, Detroit, Oakland and Arizona left to travel to, I could see them dropping three of them.

New England unfortunately probably has a legit shot, but if Brady is ever going to get beat up Denver may have the defense to do it.

I agree with the op, you just know Brady and Belichick are looking to really put the hammer down.

I can see the Packers go 18 - 0.

Biggest problem with that is the Cardinals their 2nd last game, on the road. McCarthy is inclined to save his starters, and I don't think Arians is.

I can see the Packers go 18 - 0.

If Nick Foles had even a marginal game last week they'd already be 4-1. They are the favorites in the NFC, clearly, but undefeated is a huge reach.

That game will likely be hugely important for playoff seeding and may even decide HFA. Nobody's resting.

FWIW, NE lost their LT Solder for the season:

[Novacane]

Doesn't matter. The only injuries that will slow them down are Brady or Gronk.

[YardRat]

Brady's dad said he wants to see them lay 60 on Indy.

[Mace]

I hope other people saw that play.

Do you mean the dumbest play I've ever seen on 4th down? That one?

[feldspar]

No way in hell the Colts didn't recover that onside kick in the 2nd quarter, either.
