Quote:
Tom Brady has had a better career than Peyton Manning, but Manning has the slight edge as the game's best quarterback. That may sound crazy, with Brady on pace to shatter Manning's touchdown record of 49. But Manning manages the game in a manner that puts so much pressure on the opposing quarterback to score touchdowns. Like Brady, Manning can come from behind with two or three touchdown drives in the fourth quarter. Plus, the Colts' defense doesn't give up the big plays that it did a year ago.

Chadiha makes the point that the Colts have beaten tougher teams and then he points to Jacksonville.

Let me ask you all a question: tomorrow is the championship game (AFC or Super Bowl). Which team would you rather face? San Diego, Dallas or Jacksonville?

Jacksonville is way, way ahead of the other two in this answer. What kind of idiot thinks Jacksonville is a better team than San Diego or Dallas?

Especially against a lousy backup quarterback who played for three quarters of the game.

This is related to the other ESPN picks, but does anyone know why Mike Golic ALWAYS picks against the Patriots in big games? Hopefully I'm not the only one who notices this. If you could take a look at his history of picking, he picks against the Patriots in any game where he's slightly convinced that they won't win.

Take a look at week 2. Guess who was the only one to pick the Chargers? You got it!

I wish that someone rounded up the experts, and put them in the octagon together, and locked the gate, and played creepy halloween music, and told them that the last one standing gets to be "THE Expert." Now that would be a show I would watch.

How long would clayton last? Oh man that would be just the best.

I am shocked, simply shocked that the mediots extoll the Colts superiority because THEY played mighty Jville, a team with a backup QB who does not belong in the NFL while the Pats faced pushovers like SD and Dallas.

Once again into the breach folks, why pay ANY attention to the mediots when their superficial analysis is demonstrably and repeatedly inferior to that published here and on other Patriots sites? Why???

I don't get the whole Jax thing either.
They are overrated.

Golic, Schlereth, Hoge and a couple others (like Tom Jackson) will pick against the Patriots regularly if not for stupidity, then for pure jealousy/hatred for our team.

For Jackson: He has despised the Patriots since Lawyer Milloy was cut and he reported that the Patriot Players 'hated their coach". Yeah. We hated him so much we won the SuperBowl that year.

Golic played a couple of years with Miami but was otherwise in the NFC and I can't understand why he has a problem with picking the Patriots to win. But he has an obvious problem with us.

Schlereth played with the Broncos and has all but publicly stated he hates our organization. I have come to look at him as one of the most idiotic retired NFL players to have a job as an analyst. As a former NFL player it is amazing sometimes how wrong he is.

Hoge played for the Steelers and therefore, has an inbred reason to not like us. But I have noticed that he has slowly backed off going against us. Some people despite constantly getting kicked in the head never learn. I put Schlereth and Golic in that category. I think Hoge is slowly coming around.
