You are certainly speculating quite a bit here, no?

Speculation is all there is at this point. All we know is that the Pats balls were under the NFL regs when measured at halftime and the Colts balls were not. We have no detailed information about the pre-game ball preparation steps for either team, no information about the Colts pressure preference (Belichick stated today that the Pats aim for a target pressure of 12.5 psi), etc.

And yes, the Colts could very well have overinflated their footballs, just as Aaron Rodgers claims to do with his game balls.
