I absolutely love Denver...help me on this one.

I absolutely love Denver here except a few things bode me to take another look at Indy..

(1) Obvious revenge from the previous Denver waxing.
(2) Revenge from being polaxed 41-0 to the Jets last year for a "pre-mature" WC exit IMO.

Why I love Denver? Cause they're the sleeper of the AFC. They're the hottest team riding a momentum wave into the playoffs looking absolutely astounding the past 5 weeks. ...Forget about week 17. They lost on purpose anyway you chop it up.

When i cap games I usually ignore the pointspread and just think about who should logically win the game. In IMO Denver is the hotter and the flat out better team. (e.g. dominant ground game, manageable QB, & a stout defense.

However contrary to my Denver tangibles, Indy has played too well all season long to drop out this early. I mean c'mon, I can't see the NFL Co-MVP losing in a wildcard round a few days after being given the award.

Perhaps Indy wins by 1 or 2 points?! Is that the answer I'm looking for????

Thoughts please....

3peet, I became a massive Denver fan after seeing the performance against Indy. They've only lost one game on the road this year with Plummer and that was against KC - they dominated but lost on a questionable Dante Hall return.
I find it hard to see how Indy can overturn such a comprehensive thrashing just 2 weeks ago. They even had the early momentum after the Plummer INT.
Injuries to Indy players and the return of 2 key Denver players (Neil and Portis) make Denver's case even stronger.

Not going to touch this game but I think Denver is the play. Good luck.

Not today, manning will prevail, after his piss poor performance last game, you will see a different QB, this guy is good.

Manning was not the reason the Colts lost last game. Denver simply ran all over the Indy D. and the time of possession was 44:58 to 15:02.
There is not an offense or QB in this world that can win going against those numbers. Blame the defense on the last loss, not Manning.
