Colts finally get a win in Foxborough

Last night's football game was a rematch of last season's playoff game where the Patriots defeated the Colts. This time, however, Peyton Manning was able to lead his team to victory. The Colts now have a record of 8-0 and are the only remaining undefeated team in the league. They still have quite a few challenging games left, though. The Bengals, Steelers, and Seahawks are all on their schedule. I definitely do not expect them to go 16-0, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them end up at 14-2 or possibly even 15-1.

The Patriots have been somewhat of a disappointment. Currently at 4-4, it does not look like they'll repeat as Superbowl champs. Of course, no team has ever won 3 consecutive Superbowls. One thing in New England's favor is that they play their best football in the post-season. However, it will take a huge effort for them to defeat both Pittsburgh and Indianapolis. The rest of the season remains to be played, though, so things may change.
