New England Patriots -8, total 54.5
Both Teams Moving Past Deflategate
The Patriots have not talked about the Deflategate scandal even as they have rolled to a 4-0 start this season and the Colts definitely don’t want to talk about it. "Again, that's history," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "What we're going to focus on is today. ... We're focusing on us." The Patriots are saying what they normally say before a game as they talk up their opponent.
"I'm always pretty motivated so it will be an exciting game," Brady said. "They've got a good team, they've won three straight, they've made some changes this offseason so they're a confident team. It will take a great effort to beat them.” Brady leads the NFL in quarterback rating at 121.5 and yards per game at 346.8.
Injury Concerns
The Patriots will be without tackle Nate Solder who was placed on injured reserve. New England’s offensive line has had issues this season as Brady was sacked five times last week in the win over Dallas. The Colts are hoping that quarterback Andrew Luck will play on Sunday night. He has missed the past two games with a shoulder injury but the Colts have won both with backup Matt Hasselbeck playing well.
