Top 3 Reasons Why the Pats Will Beat the Colts
With all the hype and buildup over the past few weeks, this weekend’s match up between the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots will definitely be the game of the season. The winner of this game could be in the driver seat with home field advantage throughout the playoffs and more importantly make a huge statement to the entire league.
Although the Colts are the defending NFL champs and this weekend’s game is at home, I believe there is little hope the Colts can come up victorious in this game. As such here are my TOP 3 REASONS why the New England Patriots will beat the Indianapolis Colts.
Reason #1 - Wes Welker
Many people reading this may be wondering why in the heck am I am listing a small, white boy, third option wide receiver as a reason why the Pats will beat the Colts this weekend. It is because of Wes Welker that Tom Brady is having the season he is. Yes, you may argue that Moss and Stallworth have been able to provide Brady with speed and quickness that he has never seen before, but the fact of the matter is Welker has had more clutch catches in key situations in every game this season. In fact, Wes has more third down conversions than Moss and Stallworth combined. And for anybody wondering, the Super Bowl Champ each year over the last 10 seasons has been in the top five in third down conversions.
Reason #2 – Bill Belichick
There is no other coach in the NFL that has a better reputation of preparing his team for big games. It seems anytime an opponent is rated higher or favored to win that game, the Patriots almost always find a way to win. In fact, the Patriots lead the NFL since 2001, in revenge games. Meaning, not one team in the past decade has been able to have consecutive victories over the Patriots. There is no doubt in my mind Belichick has been reminding his team about last years AFC Championship game and making sure he does all he can to make sure the Patriots don’t suffer two consecutive losses against the Colts.
Reason #3 – Tom Brady
Although Peyton Manning is one of the best true passers of all time and he is talented enough to lead his team to victory this weekend, nothing can compare to Tom Brady and his talent of leading the Pats to victories in big games. There is no other QB in history that has the leadership and competitive spirit that Tom possesses. With that attitude and spirit how he approaches each game there is no questions that Tom Brady will make it happen this weekend and lead his team to 9-0.
