The 4 - 0 New England Patriots travel to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on Andrew Luck (?) and the 3 - 2 Indianapolis Colts on Sunday October 18th at 8:30 PM.
(The game starts at 8:30?! Oh man... I'm going to be tired Monday morning.)

Here's three things I'll be watching closely on Sunday:
1) Left Tackle - Nate Solder is done for the year. I find him average at best, but it's never good when one your starters go down.
2) Corners - It's Malcolm Butler and... Some other guys? I don't even know anymore. I'm afraid of facing a team with multiple good receivers.
3) Julian Edelman (again) - I just wanted an excuse to post this gif of Edelman breaking ankles.
With Hoomanawanui gone, who will we affectionately deride around these parts for their modest productivity?
I nominate 6' 6", 304 lbs(!) Tight End Michael Williams. Williams is in his first year with the Patriots, acquired via trade with the Lions.
(Let's be honest, he's really just a tackle with a TE number)
With 1 reception on the season, there should be plenty of opportunities to bust out the Sad Trombone.
My prediction: Pats 34, Colts 21

(Trying something new this week. Bear with me. Let's see if it works.)
It was the two minute warning of my workday. Another one almost in the books. Just watching the clock tick tock away the last few seconds.
Just me at my desk with an unopened bottle of diet whiskey that I was getting ready to put a significant hit on. I had just gotten out my glass.
And then she walked in.
Things would never be the same after that.
"Can you help me? I think my husband is cheating on me."
"Have a seat. What makes you say that?"
"He works late every night."
"So? Lots of people work evenings. I work late. We're at my office right now and it's after dark."
"He's a real estate agent. He's been out on a lot of 'late night closings' if you know what I mean."
"I think I do."
(I did not.)
"Is there anything else you've noticed going on? Suspicious messages? A second cell phone?"
"No. Just the extra work stuff."
"Does he have a history of cheating? A Linder profile?"
"What? No."
"Well. What then?"
"I can't explain It's just a feeling I've got. A woman just knows these things."
(Is that true? I'll have to look that up later.)
"If I give you his information, can you follow him around? See what he's up to?"
"I think we can make that work. But then again, it might be nothing."
"I understand. Hey... Aren't you...?"
"Shhhhh. Yeah. But don't tell anyone. Detective work is my real passion. This is what I want to do with my life. The Other Thing is just my day job. But I turned out to be kinda good at that, too. So I play professional football just to pay the bills."
"Is that why your office is above a gym?"
"Sometimes business can be a little slow. Besides, you never know when you'll have time to get an extra workout in."
"OK. When I can expect to hear from you again?"
"Well, we are in the middle of a season. But I think I can move your case to the top of my to-do list."
And with that... She was gone.
I'm Julian Edelman. Wide Receiver by day (and sometimes Sunday nights or Monday nights... and once in a while Thursday nights), Private Dick by night.
Time to grind.

I love this picture.
