I dont think there is an X-Factor. This team is so adaptable, what they do will depend on what Indy TRIES to do. I bet the Colts take away the deep game, take some risks against the run shooting the gaps and force the pats to make long drives. The Colts will HAVE to create turnovers and get to Brady early and often with a 4 vs. 5 rush, which would turn into a 4 vs. 6 rush if they are successful early on. Creating turnovers is the only chance the Colts have.
And of course the Pats get to practice against a great BB-coached defense every week, so it's not like there's much they haven't seen and aren't prepared for. Kevin Faulk better hold onto that damn ball!
