Why all the hype for Sunday's Game?

So for those of you that do not watch ESPN or any sports related channel or read any sports pages there is a much hyped game in the NFL being played on Sunday featuring the last two undefeated teams, the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. The first in league history that two undefeated teams met this late into the season.

This game has been dubbed by many as "Super Bowl 41 1/2" but lets just hold on for one second. The loser of this game will still be playing next week. These two teams will still be number 1 and 2 in all power rankings and oh this game won't change anybody's opinion on who will actually win the super bowl.

Suppose you're a Colts fan and the Cotls lose. I gurantee that the arguements made will be that both Marvin Harrison and Tony Ugoh are injured, so the Colts weren't at full strength.

Conversly, if you're a Patriots fan and the Pats lose then I can hear it now, "We were playing at the RCA Dome (In Indy)" said every Pats fan. I bet Skip Bayless will probably say some convulated argument that the Patriots were partying with the Red Sox this week, if they lose.

So yes, I will be watching this game just like everyone else but honestly think about it-will this game really change anyone's opinion?
