I looked at Yahoo and in the predictions, all 4 analysts picked the Pats as AFC champs and SB. In foxsports, the Colts are given the best chance to beat the Patriots...4 to 1.Isn't it amazing? The defending champs can go 13-3 in their most injury plagued season in years and be the 4 to 1 longshot to beat the Patriots. Not one analyst I've seen (I look at SI, foxsports, yahoosports and ESPN) yet that has picked anyone but the Patriots for the SB. The Colts are obviously not the favorite, but they're better than a 4 to 1 team against the Pats.

A healthy Colts team can beat the Patriots on the road or at home.

Anyone who gives 4 to 1 odds against the Colts is an idiot, and this is coming from a Pats fan.

That being said, the Colts WON'T be at home at that is a huge deal for them. Without their extremely loud fans and the dome comfort, coupled with the advantages that the Pats get playing at home, and you have a Pats clear favorite, but not a 4 to 1 favorite. Where are you getting these odds from?That ebing said the Pats could easily lose. The Colts are very good.

Are you confusing odds with polls?

Well they don't wanna look dumb i guess, it's the safe pick to go with the Pats. All the colts need to do is make a damn play in the last 10 minutes!!!!!!

Harrison is going to be non-existant in the playoffs. It's time for him to retire.

Harrison hopefully comes back next week. My optimism went way down when Dungy said he would play against the titans and he couldn't.

They have 4 to 1 odds because they are unlikely to get past the Chargers.

That made me laugh. The Colts will be double digit favorites in that game. It'll be tough and the Chargers may actually win it, but everywhere, everywhere, they'll be the overwhelming favorite.

I have this strange feeling that this year is LT's year. Call me crazy, but it could definitely happen. He damn well deserves it, that's for sure.

The Pats really aren't as good as everyone thinks in my opinion. It was almost impossible to not beat all of their conference opponents, and the only good teams they played were the Colts (with lots of injuries) the Steelers and maybe the Giants (since Eli is no Peyton). The way to beat them is through determination, and a few teams almost did that. So I wouldn't make it 4-1 longshot, more like 2-1 or so.

its not in the RCA dome. its in foxborugh. You can deny the advantage all you want. They could have everyone they needed. Harrison Freeny whatever. I would still have the pats plus ten. Because face it, Manning drops off in the playoffs. Last year his team carried him through the playoffs. he had a very poorf first 3 as i can remember. And in foxborugh it will only be worse for him. He is not a bad weather quarterback and he will never be one.

I'll just go by your logic here and say they're overestimating the Colts or underestimating the Chargers.

But seriously, the AFC has some great matchups this year.
