Knof,
Not to split hairs, but you your comment:
"I do think the Pat's are a better team, but then look at what a great team the Colt's were last week"
Seems to imply that the Colts were a "better" team than the Patriots.
If so, what was it based on???
The Patriots had a better overall record.
They Played more "good" teams (over .500 winning percentage) and were undefeated against such teams.
They played the Colts once in the regular season and Beat them. At Indianapolis.
Certainly, the Colts were very exciting to watch due to their high powered offense. But that does not make them superior, and certainly didn't do much for them Sunday afternoon.
I may be biased, since I'm a Patriots seasons ticket holder for 11 years now, but there is not any statistic that would even remotely suggest that the spread should have been as low as the paltry 3 points that it was.
