Here's my thought:

Was it the weather that caused them to deflate? No. The reason I say this is that once it was reported and they started looking into it I would assume they would have also checked the Colt's balls to see if the same effect had been had on them and so far we are not hearing that their balls were deflated. Also, there are games played in cold weather just about every week in the NFL, but you never hear about this in any of them.

Did the deflated balls play a role in the Pats wining? No. Blount alone ran the ball 30 times for around 150 yards and 3TDs. That was enough to beat the Colts. Perhaps the Pats might have scored a little less without the deflated balls, but they still would have crushed the Colts.

Did Brady know? I agree with Troy Aikman who says he had to know. He approves the balls before the game and unless he gives the order nobody is going to touch them.He also handles the balls all game long and all practice long so he would notice if they were deflated.

What this comes down to, in my eyes, is an attempt a cheating that really didn't need to be done. This is not the first time the Pats have been caught trying to break the rules to get a competitive advantage. If the NFL rules that they did in fact knowingly deflate the balls there should be some serious penalties.
