Colts n Pats r to close to call, but i would have to say the Pats.

McNabb's ability to scramble out of the pocket and put yards on the board is what effectively bewildered the fudgePackers last week. By the specs over the past 5 games for each team, Philly has a decisive edge.

The Eagles have
- scored more points and allowed less
- more 1st downs
- a better conversion rate on 4th down
- less fumbles and less interceptions
- less rushing plays than Carolina, but have gained more yards
- Mcnabb, whose stats outstip all Carolina QB's... more yards, more TD's, better completion rate.
by the stats, it is actually quite lop-sided in favor of the bEagles.
Of course all that means nothing until one team actually steps up and owns the other. We'll see in a few hours, but as for pre-game talking about why so-and-so will win/lose, you best be looking at the stats before saying anyone is "overrated".
