After yesterday's 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans, the Indianapolis Colts now stand with a record of 10-3. Peyton Manning, the QB of the Colts is now just three touchdown throws away from setting a new NFL record of 49. The offensive juggernaut created by the consistent play of Manning and all of his offensive weapons have put the Colts in a great position to win the Superbowl.

The window of opportunity for a NFL generally last two to three years at the most. Last year the Indianapolis were stop by eventual Superbowl Champions, the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship. What is different this year, the Colts can go to WR Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, or Brandon Stokley, TE Marcus Pollard or Dallas Clark, or RB Edgerrin James, all of which have not suffered any serious injuries. If they all stay healthy, regardless of whether the Colts must go on the road during the playoffs, this offense should be in gear one.

Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison have now signed long term deals with the Colt's organizations to stay put, therefore it is necessary for the Indianapolis Colts to win the Superbowl this year, just in case they are unable to sign Edgerrin James. Manning, Harrison, and James are probably in the prime of their career, so if the defense can hold teams for the rest of the year, 20 points and less, the team for Indianapolis should be able to win it all.
