I'm waiting for the wheels to come off on CHI. They miss Tommy Harris on the DL more than anything, linemen are getting out onto Urlacher and running at will. And boy can NO run. On the other side, Cedric Benson and the O-line showed up at just the right moment, but IMO Rex will find a way to pooch it, either this weekend or in the SB. He's gotten away with it vs weak opponents, NO is not weak, it's dangerous.
You know what I liked about Indy, and Peyton in particular? On that last drive he audibled into run, run, run, run run. That's a smart guy. Resisted the urge to throw as much as possible. And that D-line gets after people in the pass rush. But to bet against Brady/Belichek? Seems foolish but I think Brady used up his hero points last game.
For me, though, both of these are - no bet. Too close.
