THURSDAY’S GAME

Colts (1-3) at Patriots (2-2)

Time, TV: 8:20 p.m. ET, Fox and NFL Network

Pregame.com line: Patriots by 10

Colts’ keys: They have to win in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis needs to give QB An

drew Luck more time to throw. He looked like the prolific Luck of the past in Week 4, in part because of solid protection. On defense, the Colts need to get QB Tom Brady jumpy in the pocket.

Patriots’ keys: With Colts WR T.Y. Hilton ruled out, the defense will turn its focus to Colts RB Nyheim Hines, a versatile threat who seems to get better each week. On offense, New England coach Bill Bel

ichick clearly wants to rely heavily upon RB Sony Michel, but he will go only goes as far as his blocking takes him.

Who wins? The Patriots haven’t looked like themselves, but they’re beginning to find their identity. Patriots, 31-28
