Question Answered: Colts Are Best in AFC

"To be the man, you've got to beat the man"

If you believe with that quote, last night erased any doubts you may have had about the Indianapolis Colts.

I'm sure many Patriots fans are licking their wounds this morning, and I've already heard some of them say "Wait until January". Please people, before you embarass yourselves, just shut up. These two teams could line up 10 times right now, and the Colts would win every single time. They've got more talent, on both sides of the ball now, than anyone else in the league.

And if these two teams meet in January, it's going to be in the cozy confinds of the RCA Dome, where the temperature is always 72 degrees with no wind, snow or rain to interfere with their high-powered offense.

The news isn't all grim for the Patriots. At 4-4, they're still in 1st place in the AFC East. They have a very easy schedule the rest of the way, so 10-6 isn't entirely out of the question, even though 9-7 (or 8-8) could win the weak AFC East. As a division winner, they'd still host a playoff game and if they get a few of the walking wounded back, and correct some obvious problems (Duane Starks), nobody would be surprised if they won a game or two in the playoffs.
