Pats vs. Colts

The stage has been set for the biggest regular season NFL football game since ... well ... maybe forever. The unbeaten and thus far unchallenged New England Patriots play at the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts Sunday in Indianapolis.

The Patriots have been unstoppable so far this season on offense, but they haven't played a defense as good as Indianapolis. The Colts are much better this year than last year when they won the Super Bowl. They've made some personnel adjustments that have enabled them to play a tougher, more physical brand of football.

Everyone knows about the Patriots bringing in controversial receiver Randy Moss. The thought was that Moss would tear apart the team if things started to go bad. That certainly hasn't been a problem. The Pats' offense has been spectacular despite not having a consistent running game. Tom Brady is having a year like we have never seen before.

That being said, I'm picking the Colts. I like their physical style of football and their home-field advantage. Colts 28, Patriots 24.
