From my perspective as a very paranoid gambler (yes, I do believe in some conspiracy theories), I think one of the dogs wins straight up. Since I can't imagine the Pack winning outright, my guess is Colts.
My reasoning is that the spreads are roughly 7 so Joe Schmuck bets the faves in a teaser and loses.

Have not heard anyone talking about any of the Championship games. How is a team with 15 attempts rushing and 14 total yards rushing last week going to go to SB? Similiar numbers this week and Brady next game will be the Pro Bowl if he's on the roster ^
yes the pats are going to go to the super bowl, how is by beating Luck.....AGAIN...pretty sure the pats have indi's number,,,,the stats are totally one sided when luck has played tom brady, and will be once again. Not going to give indi too much love by beating a tired denver team who has been declining the entire second half. Not exactly sure why more people aren't liking the pats,,,,,,,, what am i missing here,,, will give the 6.5 all day long, truely believe this is a double digit win for the pats......
I took Indy Moneyline early at +250. Why cant Indy win straight up?! Aside from a blowout victory over the Redskins, Colts havnt allowed over 250 passing yards to a qb for over 9 games. With no deep threat, Pats will throw passes short to mid field, similar to what Manning does. Manning threw for 200 yards in a desperate attempt at a comeback last week.
On the offensive side of the ball, Luck will keep any team in the game. I have heard nothing but "pats blowing out colts" at work and on radio stations. I really like Colts to win straight up. Young team playing with lots of confidence. Defense have been performing at a peak.

I don't see enough people talking about the Pats injury at Center last week... Bryan Stork was one of the reasons NE was able to remedy their early season O-line problems.
Wouldn't it just piss Manning right off if Luck beats Brady, and then beats SEA in the SB??
Doesn't seem to be any pressure on this Colts team either. "Gimme 2 claps and a Ric Flair!"
Pressure is on Brady and Belichick with their window to win again closing quicker and quicker...
and several INTs per game, 3 INTs per game? Or is it 2? Either way he chucks the INTs versus this Pats team. If Revis does his job on Hilton, it will be a tough day at the office for Luck.
Seems like Belichick knows how to mindphuck Luck into INTs
in 16 games luck has 22 turnovers, as great of a player as he is, he is turnover prone... if I had to back anyone it would be the Pats
Can Indy beat New England IN NEW ENGLAND!!! I would say NO based on at least a dozen reasons BUT this is the National ""Full of Shit" League so anything is possible....and the biggest Full of Shit performance of the year goes to Peyton Manning. That clown deserves an Academy Award by the NFL for his performance at home vs a team with a suspect defense...
All I can say is "Anything is Possible" in the National " Full of Shit" League
Yours in Winners

Home teams favored by more than a TD in the divisional round of the playoffs have lost 8 times since 2006. Guess who was the QB for 4 of those losses? Yep, non other than Peyton Manning himself. I think this was also a case of the Broncos looking ahead to the Patriots, not taking Indy seriously enough as well. Also, I wonder how focused the coaching staff was creating a game plan when OC Gase, DC Del Rio, and HC Fox where all angling for jobs elsewhere?
Nobody looks ahead when the NFL playoffs start. Loser goes home. Those coaches don't bust their asses 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 6 months so they can put in a half assed performance in the biggest game of the year.
Denver wasn't the same team late in the season. Manning clearly wasn't right.
Public favorites in the playoffs have been a poor bet historically. Denver, New England, and Green Bay all public favorites that didn't cover last week. Seattle needed a Pick 6 from their own goal line to cover. Detroit was another anti-public spread winner vs Dallas in the WC round.

Green Bay, although typically above average offensively are likely to struggle both on the ground and through the air, because of Seattle’s excellent defense. Expect Rodgers to work mainly out of shotgun and pistol formations, like he did in the Cowboys game.According to ESPN Stats & Information Research, Rodgers ran every play out of the shotgun or pistol except for the Packers’ three kneel downs.I think Seattle is better than they were last year at this point and Green Bay is ripe for the picking. Seattle will stuff the run and scheme to move Rodgers to expose his lack of mobility. Lynch sees plenty of success on the ground and Wilson hits the few key throws that turn into daggers for Green Bay’s chances. Green Bay actually lost to Seattle, Detroit, New Orleans and Buffalo this season. They only beat Miami and Minnesota by 3 points on the road, 27 to 24 versus Miami and 24 to 21 versus Minnesota. Green Bay just isn’t the same team at home that they are on the road. He completed 24 of 35 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns, but he clearly was limited by the injury. Seattle has home field advantage in this one and no matter what Green Bay Coach Mike McCarthy says; Rodgers should not be at 100% by this Sunday. Although the betting line is above a touchdown and extra point, Seattle is the my pick to cover the spread in the NFC Championship Game. Over the previous six NFL seasons, the home team has won 69% of games that match the current efficiency profiles of Green Bay and Seattle going into a game, the equivalent of a handicap start of 6 points for Green Bay. My prediction odds currently give the Seahawks a 75.36% chance of winning on the money line, and they are -7.5 on the spread. It is a big number but Seattle gets out of this game with a 30-20 win or something like that.

Smart people learn from past errors. Let's see how smart Luck really is...
