Patriots vs. Colts. Super Bowl XVII comes early.

Take the wife to the airport at 5am. Go to the dump. Take the dog to the groomer. Paint prep the on-the-way baby's room. Do laundry. Take down the Halloween decorations. Make calls to relatives. Kill the mole(s) invading my garden and yard. OK, those are my chores for the coming weekend.

Whatever chores you have scheduled for your weekend, get up early and do them all on Saturday. (Ladies, this goes for you, too.) You are not going to want to miss the Game of the Century this Sunday, the New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts at 4:15 ET/1:15 PT on CBS.

NFL nuts have had this game circled as a Holy Sunday Day of Obligation on their calendar for weeks now. This game is historic in that this is the first time ever in the history of the NFL that two teams with undefeated records of 7-0 or better have ever met in the regular season.

This is the God-like Tom Brady, with an incredible 30 TDs in 8 games,
facing off against the very man whose single-season TD record he is chasing, the Colts' Peyton Manning.

This is the Colts secondary vs. Randy Moss and whoever else Brady feels like tossing a TD to.

It's the Pats linebacker Mike Vrabel catching TD's from Brady.

It's the Colts' #4 ranked defense vs. the Pats #1 offense; the Pats #3 defense vs., well, take your pick of the Colts' #3 offense: RB Joseph Addai, WRs Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne, and TE/WR/Superman, Dallas Clark.

It's two quiet, cagey and masterful coaches pacing the sidelines, and never once looking worried.

It's the Pats, if they win, with a real shot at going undefeated. Same thing goes for the Colts.

It's for home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Heck, it's the Pats waterboy vs. the Colts waterboy for Waterboy Supremacy.

The game is so important that the Seahawks game, which is on opposite the Pats/Colts here in Seattle, won't even be dialed into my remote.

This isn't the Super Bowl. It's far, far bigger than that. It's...it's bigger than Al Gore's face big. But a lot less weird and far more entertaining.

So, do what you have to do on Saturday. Then get your chips, your wings and your beer together, rent a Port-a-Potty and put it next to the couch with the door open and facing the TV. You do not want to miss a moment of this game.

Current line: Pats favored 3-6 over Colts, depending on the line.

My prediction: Patriots 34, Colts 28.
