I'll say this: the stars have aligned for this game to be an upset.
We're 3-0 and riding a youthful tide of naive belief in our indestructibility. Having a very young team will do that.
We've had two weeks to prepare for this game. Our players, and Haley, are treating this game as their Super Bowl.
Their defensive weaknesses match our offensive strengths.
We have defensive and offensive coordinators who have bolstered their resumes on matchups like this.
Haley's amazing work ethic instilled on this team has given them a vastly superior health advantage.
All of this, however, is equalled out by Manning vs. our incredibly young secondary.
Equalled. But not bettered.
The question will be how will this Colts team come out after a tough loss in Jacksonville. Emotionally drained, and flat? Or incited by their franchise MVP into "kill mode"?
It's a fascinating question. And the answer is anybody's guess.
