New England Patriots wide receiver Austin Collie has admitted that he is expecting a hard time against his old side Indianapolis Colts in Saturday's divisional playoff game.

Collie said that he would not be approaching the game any differently even though it is against his old side, but is looking forward to seeing some of his former teammates.

"Like I said before, it's just another game," he told the Patriots' official website. "I obviously look forward to seeing some of the guys and had some great friendships there.

"It's a great organisation, great football team, so it's going to be a tough game."

The winner will reach the AFC Championship game, which is one step away from the Super Bowl.
