1.) Patriots, although in New England are a warm weather team. How many big drops did they have last night due to the cold weather and winds?

This is the big point I think.

With the weather as the great equalizer, what makes NE's homefield advantage in the playoffs a good thing? Peyton is more than capable of outplaying Brady in the conditions, and right now Garrard may be hotter than either of them.

How long have you been watching the Pats? Brady has owned Manning several times in rough conditions. Brady has played and won several games in the roughest conditions. But those were the days of David Givens, Branch, Christian Fauria, Daniel Graham, David Patten, etc. Those were long standing pats that were used to cold weather.

The new recieving corps of Brady came from warm weather teams. If weather is going to be a factor, Brady is the least you should be worried about.

Peyton Manning has gotten his ass kicked in the playoffs playing at NE. Meanwhile Brady has won playing in bad weather his whole career. Now he has Moss Welker and Stallworth playing at a high level? No one is going to beat NE at NE in the playoffs. Especially Indy or Jack.
