One Thought on Colts-Patriots

Because of the history between the two teams, last night's big matchup between the Colts and the Patriots got nearly all the hype of a Super Bowl. But, with the Patriots deeply flawed and struggling, I have to point out the real big games of the season in the AFC are later this month:
  • Indy/Cincinnati on Nov. 20. With the Bengals holding the second best record in the AFC, this could have tie-breaker ramifications.
  • Indy/Pittsburgh on 11/28. Same thing. Arguably the two best and most balanced teams in the AFC square off in what I expect to be a preview of the AFC title game.
  • Pittsburgh/Cincinnati on 12/4. The game to decide the AFC North and with it the bye? Could be.
So three weeks in a row with big AFC matchups.

I just gotta root for Cinci -- despite having lived there for five years. :) They're kind of the Chicago Cubs of the NFL, and let's face it, they have the coolest helmets.
