Colts Vs. Patriots: The Real Super Bowl


The much anticipated match up of the Indianapolis Colts vs. the New England Patriots is this Sunday and if you plan on watching the Super Bowl this February, you should watch this game as well. This game features by far the two best teams in the National Football League. No teams have come even close to match either the Pats or Colts so far this season. The so called "experts" thought the Cowboys would be a test for the Patriots, but they slammed them down, making them look like a pee wee team. Last week, the Colts faced what was thought to be a challenge in the Carolina Panthers, but handled them no problem.

The Patriots (8-0) have destroyed all opponents in their wake so far this season, coming off a 52-7 thrashing of the Washington Redskins. Brady to Moss has become a modern day version of Young to Rice. But don't forget about the other team in this game of the year. The Colts are undefeated as well (7-0) and have started out just as strong. Peyton Manning has been his same old self passing for 13 touchdowns and 1833 total yards on the season. That is the norm for this high powered Colts team, but what has been unexpected is their defense. The most points they gave up all season was 24 to the Texans on the third week of the season, but the past 3 games, they have given up a whopping total of 28 points. Their real test this season will be against the Patriots, who have yet to score less than 34 points.

The game should produce fireworks on both sides of the ball, with the two best quarterbacks of the century matching up head to head. Ratings will most definately be through the roof for CBS, as this game has been hyped since the begining of the season. Now with both teams coming in undefeated, the match up has made up good fodder for pundits all across the nation. If I were a company looking to advertise during the Super Bowl, I would highly reconisder putting my money towards this game instead.
