I’m getting sick of the Patriots being labeled the bad guys in the NFL. I know I’m biased but I don’t see it. The holier-than-thou attitude of the Colts is really getting on my nerves to the point that I’m starting to not like Tony Dungy, for whom I used to have high regards.

I think the Patriots are going to enter the RCA Dome and leave with a win. Looking back at the AFC Championship game last year, no disrespect to the Colts, but the Patriots had the big game in San Diego, the team had the flu, and you could see how drained the team was in the second half. Despite all of this, the Patriots STILL almost pulled it out with their fourth AFC Championship in six years.

Today’s key to a Patriots victory falls on Lawrence Maroney’s shoulders and how well he picks up yardage. Marvin Harrison’s going to play, there’s no doubt in my mind - he’s one of the toughest and I doubt he’s going to warm the bench in this one.

My prediction for today - the Patriots are going to win by four touchdowns (pray to our Lord Vince Lombardi). Patriots 61 - Colts 14

Go Pats!
