Friday Beer Run: NE-Indy exclusive
Cold, Hard Football Facts for November 2, 2007

With all the hype surrounding the Patriots-Colts game, we separate it from our normal Friday Beer Run of predictions.

http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/11_1807_Friday_Beer_Run:_NE-Indy_exclusive.html

The Patriots boast the lone mismatch: their No. 2 offensive line will square off against Indy's No. 24 defensive front. Indy's defense ranks just 28th in third-down percentage, allowing opponents to convert 46.2 percent of their attempts. That's bad news against an offensive juggernaut that's No. 1 in offensive efficiency, as measured by our Scoreability Index, No. 1 in Passing Yards Per Attempt, No. 1 in our Big Play Index and No. 3 in third-down conversion success (48.8 percent).

The score: New England 38, Indianapolis 34

Can somebody unpack this item into more easily understandable terms or is it just me who remains baffled by what these numbers mean?

It's a blowout only if wide receiver Marvin Harrison and left tackle Tony Ugoh don't play.
