The Colts are off that crazy and emotional game last week to overrated KC. The fact they trailed to an overachieving team is not a good sign. On the surface, Indy has played pretty well without Reggie Wayne. But they twice beat the aforesaid KC, one in miraculous fashion and also beat up laughingstocks Jacksonville and Houston.

NE RB LeGarrette Blount gave running game a big spark at end of year. This keeps the defense very honest as Tom Brady goes against an Indy secondary thinned by injuries.

Colts dome team outdoors in some nasty weather. The winds will hurt both QBs of course, but Brady has a lot more experience dealing with horrible weather conditions and a better running option with Blount.
