Indianapolis had a great year and had a cold stretch 2/3 of the way thru the season, but are clicking again.
The Colts has played shocker after last weeks win in Denver, behind the play of Andrew Luck, and tight play of T.Y. Hilton. Scoring has not been an issue all year, but defense was and they have seemed to have addressed that issue over the last part of the season.
Easily and by far, TY Hilton is a dangerous threat grabbing 16 ypc, better than any WR on the Pats. Reggie Wayne is old, but still contributes enough to make a secondary pay attention and has experience. Then Hakeem Nicks, the physical WR is a very good player, who can make things happen with his big play ability.
With Ricky Jean Francois and Cory Redding each making sure no QB gets too relaxed in the backfield, they combined for 6.5 sacks between them, the Pats have players like Rob Ninkovich and Chandler Jones who are great QB chasers, but I think the Colts still have a slight overall advantage on defense overall.
The Colts are a very good 3rd down team and that will be key. The Colts also come into this matchup with the better offense and defense. New England crushed the Colts earlier this season due to a breakout game by Jonas Grey but. I don't see that happening again as the Colts run defense is much improved and healthy. The Colts have out-gained their opponents in 3 straight games while the Pats have been out-gained during that span. The underdog in the series when these two teams tangle is a solid 14-5-2 ATS going back over the last 21 meetings. New England is also 0-5 ATS in their last five AFC Championship games as well (3-11 ATS in their last 14 playoff games overall).
Take the Colts on Sunday +7 as our NFL Playoffs Game of the Year.
