What is at stake for both teams?
The Pats and the Colts have faced off 83 times in the past. And it seems that history sure favors the Patriots. The Colts have won less than 50% of the games at 30, while the Patriots have won 53 games. But, this season has been particularly hard for Bill Belichick and Co. as 9 games into the season and they are still at only 2-7. The Pats desperately need this win or they will almost surely lose their playoff chances.
For the Colts, the stakes are slightly lower as they stand 4-5. However, they have a losing record till now and if they manage to win this game, their record will improve to 5-5 or a perfect 0.500 score. The Colts recently won a game against the Carolina Panthers and will be looking to win two back-to-back games. Will they succeed? The answer remains mere moments away.
