Oh, silly Pennsylvania...

I still don't think the Colts will win the Super Bowl.

 

I do

 

The Steelers are good, but just don't strike me as a Superbowl team.

New England is very much down this year, and losing Weis and Crennell is hurting more than they thought.

I don't see Philadelphia winning it because I don't invision McNabb playing all year.

I also see Cinci tailing off a little too.

 

Indy has the offense, and they apparently have a good defense too. I think they have to be the favorites at this point.

For some reason I have a hard time buying the Colts defense. Sanders and Bracket are playing better than expected and Reagor is looking good, but they still don't have the greatest linebackers or secondary. I know I said it would be improved before the season, but not this much. Interestingly their offense is only averaging 8 more yards than their defense is allowing, but 13 more points. I think their offense will get stronger and their D will get a bit weaker. The fact that they aren't exactly playing powerhouse offenses (Baltimore, Cleveland, Tennessee, and Jacksonville) to this point almost certainly is a big reason for their good early start on D. In the long run I'm starting to like the Steelers. We'll see how good they really are in the coming games, when they play San Diego, Jacksonville, and Cincinnati.

The colt’s offence is solid and their defense comes up big when it has to. It has been an easy first couple of games against bad offensive opponents. The test will be New England and Pittsburgh. These are probably the only two teams that will give the colts any trouble this year. Lucky for them they will face both of them before the playoffs. They need to win as many games as possible, and lock up home field. With out home field it is going to be highly doubtful that they make it to the super bowl let alone win it. But as of this moment they are the best team! (GO COLTS!)

26 points allowed through 4 games is just absurd. Not even allowing a touchdown a game, thats scary. I know its all because of the two Tar Heels on the D.

 

I'd say it has more to do with the Orangeman :P

7 of those points was a freebie touchdown at the end of the Ravens game, when subs were in.

 

The only other TD was in junk time against the Titans where they were driving like it was a 2 minute drill to win the Super Bowl (except they actually scored this time), and the Colts may or my not have had their starting defense on the field, but didn't play like it mattered, because they knew it didn't.
