I wouldn't say that it changed the course of the game, because that would insinuate that the Colts had the edge at the time of the fake punt. They didn't. The Patriots did. They were leading by a score of 27-21, plus they were going to receive the ball because it was 4th down for the Colts. Pagano just made it easier for the Patriots to win the game in that they had to work a little less harder for the win by giving them the shorter field.
But it's true that (in hindsight) the fake punt was more costly because the Colts had at least a reasonably good chance to win that game. Today, they didn't.
