Yeah, the Bengals v Steelers rivalry seems to be the next Colts v Pats. Bengals looked terrible against the Steelers and they obviously have a lot of talent this year.

The Colts didn't lack any "special something". They lacked a defense, and were a dome team on the road in the snow. They've got a defense now, and will almost certainly have home-field over the Pats (or anyone else, including the Chargers, alas) in the playoffs. It's hard to lose a 3-game lead in 9 games, especially when the Colts have the easier schedule.

Besides, last week's Teddy Bruschi stories nonwithstanding, I'm not sure the Pats have "it" anymore. They've already lost three games this year.
 

Brady 8-0 versus the Colts. Not every one of them games has been on the road or in the snow. I also don’t think it matters as much when home field advantage is a dome stadium as the lack of conditions can help any team.

As for losing three games. Yup, the patriots have yet to play 60 minutes of football in a game yet this season but there still the best team in the AFC east and might just be the best team in football when they start playing 60 minutes a game.

I think the longer the season goes the better the patriots will be while the longer the season goes people will start seeing the weaknesses in the Colts’ defense.

It should be a good game. :)

Bengals can't stop the run though. THey are a very good team but they will lose to anyone that has a good running game. Luckily, most of the teams they play don't.

I don't know, they had something to get that win over the Bills.

But the Bills aren't even necessarily a good team. That game and the Steelers/Ravens game from last night were both examples of mediocre teams playing above themselves against two of the "elite" teams in the AFC.

I really feel Indy can take this one. Their defense is much improved against a NE offense that is slowly becoming one-dimensional and they have a balanced offense that can take advantage of the Patriots' battered defense.
 


The Pats are in Manning's head...

Edge to the Pats, unless the Colts go heavy on the run game, which I don't think NE can stop.
