Since I didn't go in depth I'll throw some stat predictions:
Tom Brady: 320 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs
Andrew Luck: 350 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs
Stevan Ridley: 20 atts, 120 yards, 2 TDs
Donald Brown: 13 atts, 60 yards, 0 TDs
Rob Gronkowski: 7 recs, 120 yards, 2 TDs
Reggie Wayne: 9 recs, 111 yards, 1 TD

I think you underrate the Colts... they're on the road and their defense stinks

We may not be the best D... well no where near the best D but I think we are the most oppertunistic D in the league, been top 3 in takeaways the past couple of years

Most important stats for a defense IMO are: (No order)
1. Turnovers 2. Rushing yards 3. Points allowed
I don't put passing yards on because that can be messed up in garbage time.
