The New England Patriots are disgusting. Let's just get that out in the open, in case anyone disagrees.The undefeated Patriots were at it again today, crushing the Redskins, 52-7. Tom Brady threw for 300-plus yards and three touchdowns and ran for two more. Washington, which came in with the third-ranked defense in the NFL, looked like backups to the practice squad.
In sum, it was another dominating performance from the NFL's most dominating team so far this season.
New England isn't the only dominating team in the league, though, nor are they the only undefeated team. Defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis is also unbeaten, but thanks to the gaudy numbers posted by the Patriots, the Colts have flown under the radar.
Mum has been the word about Indianapolis, but that won't last for long.
New England and Indianapolis face off next weekend at the RCA Dome, and I fully expect the Patriots to be the favorites, maybe even by a touchdown or more. What I don't understand is why.
The Colts have scored a few less points per game, but they have a slightly better defense than the Patriots. Indy's wins haven't been as flashy, but they've counted the same in the standings. Despite a number of injuries to significant players -- Marvin Harrison, Joseph Addai, and Bob Sanders have all missed time -- the Colts have gotten the job done each week.
In short, despite all the hype about New England, the Colts are still the reigning champs.
Next week will be a tight game, but I'll take Indianapolis, 30-27.

I think I now know what it is like to be a Yankees fan. I couldn't watch the game. I looked up the score, laughed evilly, twittled my fingers like Mr. Burns, and said "excellent."
I'll take the Pats... they seem a lot more dominant to me. The Colts are obviously a great team, but I think the Patriots might be a little more explosive offensively (starting with a great offensive line), and I'll still take their defense over Indy's. But it should be an amazing game.
