Playing at home and being able to hear on offense is a much greater edge than how fast the field is and how windy it is outside.
New England's defensive focus seemed to be on shutting down Indy's tight ends - and having an extra defensive back in the game in place of a linebacker made the Colts running game look better than it will look in New England - on a slower track and a windy day...when a little less emphasis will be placed on shutting down the passing game.
I think the Colts need Marvin Harrison healthy and their defense to play another sensational game in order to win in Foxboro.
What do I know though, flipping a coin does as well as I do ATS.
