Alright, is it time for another Colts victory over the Patriots? Or are they just too good this year?? I remember last years AFC Championship game, where the Colts and Patriots were playing in Indianapolis for the chance to head to the Super Bowl. The Colts went into the locker room at half time worn down, and pissed off because they were losing 21-3. They managed to overcome that deficit with 455 offensive yards and 32 first downs to make their way to their first Super Bowl since 1970, when they were still in Baltimore. The 18 point comeback was the largest EVER in a championship game, and tied the fourth largest post season comeback in league history. This was only the first time in 4 years that the Colts had managed to beat the Patriots in the postseason, losing to them in the AFC Championship game in 2003, losing to them in the divisional round of the playoffs in 2004, and they didn't even get to play them in 2005. As an Indianapolis native, and a long-time Colts fan, I was going absolutely crazy, on the verge of shutting the game off after halftime but deciding to give them one more quarter of football before I gave up on them. Thank god I didn't, I would have regretted it so much. That and I wouldn't have had anything to talk about at work the next day, since that's all everybody was talking about.
I decided after that to never give up on my Colts. There was that game last season, and just a few years ago there was the miracle fourth quarter down in Tampa Bay. Why not another one? If they go into halftime with a deficit tomorrow, the Patriots better get their cameras out so they can figure out how to stop us, because it simply will not happen. I'm putting my money on the Colts, who do you think will win??

Right now, you have to pick the Colts to win. They have won the last three meetings between the teams (without cheating), they are playing at home, and they are the defending Super Bowl champions. They still have the same team as last year, only better, and their pass defense is the best in the league I believe. I'm not saying it's going to be a blowout. I just think that you have to pick the hometown heroes to continue this streak and get us one step closer to a repeat.
