The Colts are, once again, an underdog in this picture... but there is no way the Broncos are better Matrimony Cauthon Send a noteboard - 20/10/2009 09:40:22 AM
If anyone has been watching the Colts games lately, they may notice the Colts have had half of their defensive starters on the sidelines. Bob Sanders hasn't played 1 game this season. The Colts are not the same team they were last year. They have greatly improved on the run defense (although the Miami game didn't look so good)-- and their running game is improving.

Peyton Manning is having a record 73% completion rate, and he is doing it with 2 new receivers and 1 rookie running back. Manning is statistically still the best QB so far this season. Brees is not far behind. Brady may catch up soon if he has another outburst like he did on Sunday.

The Colts have not hid their stride yet. They have 3 games against easier opponents to tune-up for their upcoming Patriots battle. The Colts also have a game with the Broncos later this year which will be a great match-up.

I also believe that Pittsburgh has underachieved, but will improve as the season progresses.

The Saints, to me, look like the best team in the NFL. They greatly exposed the giants on Sunday. The Patriots looked great on Sunday-- but they played a Titans team that had already given up and was missing many of their defensive starters.

There are currently 4 unbeatens left-- and I would probably rank all 4 of them in the top 4. Saints, then Colts, Vikings, and Broncos. If the Patriots pull a blow-out on a good team then I will have to stick them in there as well.
