Indianapolis @ New England (-7.0)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Championship Sunday wraps up with the Colts taking on Tom Brady and the Patriots in Foxboro.\u00a0 Brady + Belichick + Foxboro + January = I know where I\u2019m laying my money.<\/p>\n

\"Foxboro<\/a>

Foxboro Forecast: Rain & easy money<\/p><\/div>\n

The Colts are a fun team to root for.\u00a0 Andrew Luck is living up to his enormous hype\u2026you know, the best quarterback prospect since John Elway.\u00a0 The Indianapolis brain-trust is vindicated in their decision to cut bait on an aging Peyton Manning for 15 years of Andrew Luck.\u00a0 Just ask Jim Irsay, he\u2019ll be glad to tell you all about it<\/a>. The Colts feature explosive wideouts in TY Hilton and Donte Moncrief. They can\u2019t run the ball for shit, get pushed around in the trenches, are considerably reckless in the ball security department and don\u2019t put up much of a fight on defensive.\u00a0 As a result, they tend to get into shootouts and let Luck carry the team on his shoulders.\u00a0 But didn\u2019t they just hold the Broncos and Bengals to 13 and 10 points respectively you ask?\u00a0 Sure, but honestly could you pick two bigger playoff choke artists than Andy Dalton and Peyton Manning?\u00a0 Plus, as it turns out, Peyton McChokeyChoke had two bum legs to go along with that robo neck of his.<\/p>\n

Tom Brady doesn\u2019t choke in the playoffs\u2026.unless it\u2019s the Super Bowl\u2026.against the G-Men.\u00a0 But don\u2019t take my word for it, just look at their squeaky clean 16-4 home playoff record.\u00a0 By the way, half of those loses came at the hands of Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens in recent years, so those demons got exorcised last weekend.<\/p>\n

The Patriots are simply a bad match-up for the Colts.\u00a0 Look no further than the boxscore of the week 11 beat down the Pats laid on the Colts (in Indianapolis).\u00a0 They made Jonas Gray look like a young-and-not-so-bitter Jim Brown as he dropped 200 yards and 4 touchdowns on them. So Gray is going to go bananas again, right? Wrong!\u00a0 Remember, Belichick is a genius\u2026or a lunatic, pick your adjective\u2026for all we know Gray won\u2019t even be active for the game (which will still make him as useful as Trent Richardson).\u00a0 For these reasons I\u2019ve learned to stop hating and love the hoodie!<\/a><\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>

This guy is a handful<\/p><\/div>\n

Vegas is predicting a shootout with an over\/under of 54 and has the Patriots as a one touchdown favorites.\u00a0 I think Luck is game enough to keep this close for a few quarters but Brady-to-Gronk proves to be too much.\u00a0 The Patriots win by double digits and use this as a tune-up for the Seahawks<\/a>.\u00a0 Silver-lining for the Colts: Andrew Luck will have a reason to shave that woodchuck hanging from his neck.<\/p>\n

\"You'll<\/a>

You’ll never land a Papa Johns deal with this look.<\/p><\/div>\n
