Taking NEW ENGLAND here as my Top 10* Money-Bomb. Ok. Great comeback by the Colts last week. Down 38-10 and winning 45-44. I can't take that away from them. This team beat both Denver and Seattle at home and the 49ers on the road. Arguably 3 of the top 4-5 teams in the league. So they come in here riding high. I saw a Denver team come into Gillette Stadium off a big OT play-off win and get their doors blown off 45-10 with a much better defense. Last times the Colts took this field, they were rocked 59-24 while Luck tossed 3 INTs, 2 of which were returned for TDs. Now, back to that KC win. It was impressive. 45 points, over 500 yards and 3 Turn-Overs! But this is NE not KC. I think Coach Hoodie will have some tricks up his sleeve. He won't let TY Hilton burn his defense for 225 yards. This Colts team doesn't run the ball well. They are a totally different team without Reggie Wayne and it shows. They had to really dig deep in that win. How much do they have in the tank here? Pats have been BAD at home in the playoffs lately. Last year I cashed with the Ravens here. If we skip their Super Bowl run, the 2 season before that, you got it. A pair of out-right losses to the Jets and again, the Ravens. This is far from their best offense, yet Brady has led this team to nearly 28ppg! The difference maker for me in the NE rushing game. Colts rank 26th vs the run and NE is the 9th best rushing team in the league believe it or not. I think NE runs the ball well. Play-action opens it up for Brady. Luck is kept off the field. NE pulls away for a tidy 10-16 point victory. 10* Money-Bomb NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
