AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME .......... INDIANAPOLIS COLTS - NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS


Going for the Patriots and the points, for two reasons, Belichick and Brady.


Been there, done it, got several tee shirts, these two simply find a way to get the job done and "simply" is the key word. Whatever happens, they do not panic, or make stupid mistakes, just deal with the situation. Last week, 8 points down in the 4th quarter, away from home to a very good San Diego team, B+B were the coolest men in the stadium and New England sneaked the win .


Since teaming up, they are 12-1 in the playoffs and are looking to make their 4th Superbowl in 6 years, eliminating Indianapolis in 2 of the last 3.


Certain that the Colts would rather play somebody, anybody, else, the Patriots don't seem to care who they play, that is a massive mental advantage.


Pats are 8-1 on the road and the inexplicable loss to Miami aside, they have scored 24 + points in each game.


The much maligned Colts defense, has really picked up post season and restricted Baltimore to just 2 field goals last week. In Peyton Manning they have a born leader and to be honest, the dream Superbowl for most neutrals would be Colts - Saints and that would be quite a spectacle.


However, I have to side with the winning experience of Belichick and Brady and even if the Colts' Adam Vinatieri, comes out to break a tie and kick a game winning field goal, as time expires, against his former club, we are covered with the points.


Many would see that as poetic justice, under those circumstances, don't expect him to miss, he also has ice flowing through his veins, made two superbowl winning kicks for the Pats and has never missed for the Colts in the RCA Dome (26-26).


Some people have a hard life, in addition to all the fame, money and adulation, Brady now has to deal with having Brazilian supermodel, Gisele Bundchen , as the woman in his life, it's tough at the top!


4 points New England Patriots + 3.5 points 1.92 Betfair.


Good Luck.
