Manning is a better play caller (audibles more effectively). He is a more accurate passer. He is better at setting passing records. I really have no doubt that Manning's lack of success in the playoffs is not a talent, work ethic, or mental thing. I believe it's simply a system/defensive thing. And their defense looks strong this year so I would expect them to win this weekend and I would give them an edge against NE if had to look at that matchup logically. But until NE actually loses a game, I can't see betting against them.
