Rivalry Renewed!


Finally there is a meaningful game in the NFL, and it is the New England Patriots vs Indianapolis Colts.

This is the best rivalry in football this past decade, and it will only get better after Sunday's game. Both teams sit stop their division, and know that a win Sunday would put them in great positions. I know everyone's riding the Colts bandwagon because of their 8-0 record, but don't sleep on these Patriots. They still have the weapons on offense and defense to beat. Let's not forget about their brilliant and tactical coach Bill Belichick.

The Patriots have caught their stride and are starting to look like the same team in 2007, which went 16-0 during the regular season. Tom Brady doesn't look nervous anymore, and their run game is starting to be more efficient. It's that enough, just look how stellar their defense has been. Against the wildcat offense last week they didn't let the Dolphins run all over them, or confuse them like they did last year.

Moreover, the Colts have looked very unorganized and a bit unlike themselves these past two weeks against the 49ers and Texans. They've struggled to score, stop the pass, and even win the game. If they think that'll work against the Pats, then they'll be going into next week with a 8-1 record.

For the past 7 or 8 years, these two teams have met every year and ultimately the winner of the regular season match up goes on to win the Super Bowl. Of course it's about the teams, but when the game starts it becomes all about Brady v Manning. Both have won MVP awards, and became World Champions. They're always compared to each other because they're the face of their team.

This Sunday will be no different. However, I think Brady and the Pats offense will be able to score more points than Manning and the Colts. I think the Brady and the Pats still feel they have something to prove, and win against the Colts

It'll definitely be another classic game, like these two teams have had before.

It will be on NBC 8/7 CT. DON'T FORGET!!
