The Colts have Pro-Bowlers in Tarik Glenn and Jeff Saturday and a good, solid group, whereas the Pats have a bunch of guys who play well as a unit and haven't been to any Pro-Bowls... Edge to Indy...

Which would you want to face the patriots (at least past versions) or steelers defense with?OSUBucks22;719301; said:

I'm not gonna knock the Colts D right now. They just went into a hostile stadium and held a perfectly good offense to two measly field goals. They held Larry Johnson to 44 yards. Now they get another home game - the Pats won't be able to take advantage of the weather.
Sure feels weird to bet on the Colts against the Patriots. History says that's a bad idea. But the Colts D has been on a mission this postseason. Maroney and Dillon might be a two-headed monster, but they can't both carry the ball on the same play. New England isn't even in this game without piss-poor coaching by Marty S. and a stupid play by the SD corner. I'll take the Colts.

The Chiefs are one-dimensional and the Ravens don't have a "perfectly good offense"... Their offense scored this year aided by their defense...

The Ravens are in the top half of the league in points and yards, and believe it or not, their time of possession was best in the NFL. The time of possession doesn't give me the impression that they were aided by the defense. They aren't a superstar offense, and the Patriots offense is better. But holding them to six points, coming off a bye week, at home, is an accomplishment. Steve McNair and Jamal Lewis are not chumps.OSUBucks22;720239; said:
And even if the Chiefs are one-dimensional, they have a hell of a dimension in Larry Johnson. And the Colts shut down that dimension too.

I bet the Raiders would love to have "Mr. Average"... Got to be one of the worst nicknames in football... The guy wins and puts up top 5 QB numbers... Nothing average about it...

Man they sure didn't play like it on Saturday... McNair was throwing behind WR's and forcing stuff... If he had been on on half of his throws in Colts territory they would have won the game...
As far as Johnson goes, lots of defenses can shut down what they know is coming... The Chiefs are pretty predictable... The Colts dared them to throw and they hardly tried... Plus, when your defense only has to be on the field for 20 minutes of a game, they will look a lot better... Johnson only got 13 carries...
