Ex-pat's Pats: Looking Ahead from AFC Wildcard Weekend

So, we have three of us in the family (my brother, nephew, and myself) who've all prophesied this weekend as it unfolded (Colts over Chiefs, Chargers over Bengals). Two see it as a bad prophesy (Colts will take everything). One of us foresaw this and is not worried at all.

I'm not afraid of the Colts coming to New England. They're typically a big, fearsome flash at Lucas Oil Stadium, but I don't feel they'll be as fearsome on the road. Despite a lot of my reservations this year, if the Pats decide to show-up, I think they'll easily put the horsies back into the corral.

In all honesty, the Chargers worry me more. They're scrappy, they've often had Manning's number when playing him as both a Colt and Bronco, and are very good at playing the spoiler. Like the Ravens last year, I worry that if they beat the "Team-to-Beat," they'll come into Gillette with a lot of momentum.

We shall see...
