Power Rankings: It's No. 1 Pats vs. No. 2 Colts

[gb81racing]

So it's finally here. No. 1 Pats vs. No. 2 Colts. Will the Pats win Sunday's showdown and continue to reign atop the Power Rankings? Or will the Colts win to force a change (we presume) at the top next week?

Up to this point, it's easy to pinpoint which team has been more impressive. Or is it?

Yes, the Patriots are obliterating opponents, winning by an average margin of 25.5 points. Yes, they're on so many record paces that we can't keep up with them all. Yes, we could be watching the greatest single-season performance in the history of the NFL.

But consider what the Colts have done. They've won all seven of their games -- against statistically better opposition than the Pats -- despite their all-time leading receiver, Marvin Harrison (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3514), scoring just one touchdown. Who would've predicted that going into this season?

Patriots will run over the Colts. I wish I could say the Colts would win, but I don't see it happening.

Me either. But look at some of the close games the Colts have won so far this year. They've kept games close that they should have blown out. The Patriots have scored at least 38 points in EVERY SINGLE GAME this year. Guess you can do that when you know every play the other teams going to call though huh?
