Patriots-Colt in Super Bowl XLI-1/2

The biggest regular-season game in recent times is being billed as Super Bowl XLI-1/2, with the winner taking command in the American Football Conference as the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts meet Sunday.

So you can't watch the Falcons on TV on Sunday. You can still see what's being billed as one of the prime matchups of the season. Two 8-0 teams. Tom Brady's Patriots vs. Peyton Manning's Colts. Super Bowl XLI-1/2 kicks off at 4 p.m. on CBS.

Tom Brady has a dazzling 136.2 quarterback passer rating and 30 touchdown passes this season. And with his new weapons on offense, it's not unthinkable that he could break Manning's record of 49 in a season.

The Colts' Peyton Manning has gotten several monkeys off his back. He has won the last three meetings against Brady, who had won the previous seven matchups, and most importantly, he's finally got his Super Bowl ring.

"He's definitely the Randy Moss of old," a former teammate says. With a league best 779 yards and 11 touchdowns in eight games, Moss has silenced the skeptics who thought he was nothing more than a distraction and his best days were behind him.

But if for any other other reason you can just keep up with some Bulldogs in the pros. New England tight end Ben Watson (right) has been hampered by a bad ankle, but is expected to play.

Georgia standout Richard Seymour returned to New England's defensive line last week against Washington from the physically unable to perform list and should see some action again Sunday.
