The Patriots may be better than their 5-4 record might indicate.
In addition to just kicking the living crap put of the Colts, they also kicked the living crap out of the Browns. The Browns have 5 losses so far this season, and 4 of them were by 1 point, 3 points, 2 points, and 3 points ...... but they lost to the Patriots by 23 points (38-15.)

The Patriots also beat the now highly-regarded Jets on their homefield, one week before they beat the Colts.

I suspect that the now lowly (previously mediocre) Colts may beat the also lowly Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, which might give just a flicker of hope to their win-starved fan-base ...... but then the game against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles the ensuing week will probably tell a lot more about them than this upcoming game against the Raiders will.
