Dont you find it odd that everyone is picking the Colts?

Posted this over at coltsfreaks.com too

Everyone picking the Colts gives the reason that its Peytons turn or that the Patriots "luck" will run out.

I know nobody likes a dynasty, especially when the team in question is a hated rival but the reasons being given by sports "experts" are silly.

The fact that Brady and the Patriots are 10-0 in domes and 23-1 on turf isnt added into the equation? Sure they have beat them in the regular season the last two years but even with Brady playing HORRIBLY they still had a shot to tie the game this year that the Colts won 27-20.

When the Patriots win the Superbowl they beat the team that has the league MVP IN THE PLAYOFFS!
2001 Kurt Warner
2003 Peyton and Steve McNair (beat them BOTH in the playoffs)
2004 Peyton AGAIN
2006 Ladanian Tomlinson

Read it and weep FREAKS but there it is clear as day.

How can they say with a straight face that its Peytons time?

I'm picking the Colts because every time I pick against the Pats in the playoffs they win.

You'd think a lot of the media would've learned by now.

Peyton is having a bad postseason.

The Colts' run D has sucked for much of the year.

But they pick the Colts because "it's their time".

I see it as you pick the Pats and everyone says your riding the hot hand, you pick the colts and they lose well the Pats were the hot hand, they win and you become a genius with the pick shouting in my best Michael Irving

SEE I TOLD YOU PEYTON GETS IT, I TOLD YOU

I am sick and tired of seeing the media pick the Colts because it's his time. Who cares? The Colts have to go out there, play, and earn it.

We will see Sunday night it it's their time.

That's really the whole thing there. Sooner or later these so called experts will be right and they'll thump their chests with "I told you so's." Doesn't matter that it's like the 9th time they picked against the Pats and the Pats won the other 8, they'll all be coronating themselves football picking geniuses.

Who in the national media had the Colts or the Iriots picked to make the Super Bowl when the post season started? If I'm not mistaken, most were on the Ravens (because they were supposed to be the Y2K reincarnation) and Chargers (14-2 is teh aw3sum) bandwagons. So I'm not putting a whole lot of stock in anyone's pick. I wouldn't be surprised if they all just picked their favored team from a coin flip.

I watched SB36 again last night and when Bill is on the stage they ask him about the Patriots and he said "This team knocked off #1 seed Pittsburgh and now #1 seed Rams and if we had a game next week we'd be underdogs in that one too"

Priceless!

The Colts are due, sayeth many of the "pundits."

It may be true. But it doesn't really pass for analysis, does it? It's like a 4-year-old girl picking teams because she likes the color of their jerseys. Really, can you believe that some of these morons get paid to come on the air and, when asked for their "expert" analysis, say one team is due?

It's hard to go against a Colts team at home that's suddenly playing solid defense. But, as we said last week before the New England-San Diego game, it's even tougher to go against the team on the amazing historic run. We're 7-0 picking Patriots playoff games since launching the site back in 2004 – they won the six games we've predicted they'd win, and they lost the one game we predicted they'd lose, last year in the divisional round at Denver.

It's also tougher to go against the Cold, Hard Football Facts, which have treated us well over the past couple seasons and which indicate that the Colts still have weaknesses that can be exploited. The Colts are "due," in other words, to go down in defeat after two straight victories over New England.

Prediction: Patriots 27, Colts 24

I thought the Bears site was fantastic. They represented the kind of activity I was really shooting for when we joined the F2FA.

Like I stated before when the pats reach the AFCC they don't lose. In fact they dominate. You would think the so-called experts would know that.
