Vote: Will Indianapolis finally beat New England?


The Indianapolis Colts are unbeaten, own a spiffy defense (led by Dwight Freeny, right) that ranks near the top of the league in major categories and still have Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrison running things on the offensive side of the ball.

But they still aren't the defending champs.

Arguably the league's best current rivalry will be renewed under the bright lights of Monday Night Football, when the Colts travel to Foxborough for another bout with the New England Patriots. Despite a slow start, the Patriots appear back in the thick of things following last week's win and the return of linebacker Tedy Bruschi.
