The NFL Ticket Exchange Is the Official Ticket Exchange of the NFL & the Only Resale Marketplace Backed by Ticketmaster's Barcode Authentication Technology for Guaranteed Game Day Tickets

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- The New England Patriots (6-2) travel to Indianapolis to face the unbeaten Colts (8-0) in a classic contest between two of the decade's elite franchises. Behind quarterback Tom Brady, the Patriots have won three Super Bowls this decade, while quarterback Peyton Manning has guided the Colts to one Super Bowl win. Both quarterbacks have led their teams to mid-season division dominance this year, and look to establish their team as the squads to beat in the AFC.

The Patriots/Colts matchup ranks #1 on the "NFL Ticket Exchange Buzz Index" for Week 10 according to the NFL Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster.

The Patriots defeated a division rival in Miami last week to provide some cushion in the AFC East, while the Colts dodged a bullet to win in Houston. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will look to stall a Manning-led offense and to find holes in the increasingly aggressive defense of rookie head coach Jim Caldwell. The Colts defense has held up against tough teams during critical moments; but this Patriots team has won three straight on the strength of big plays by receivers Randy Moss and Wes Welker.
