I'm not sure why people think that Indy will pull off something that they haven't been able to do all year. The spread is 10, folks. Indy hasn't beaten a Top 10 defense by more than 10 points the entire season. They haven't even beaten a Top 20 defense by more than 10 points! They beat Baltimore by exactly 10. Indy's offensive dominance came at the expense of the weakest defenses in the league. The best defense that they clobbered was the Bears (#21 defense). They also crushed Detroit (#22), Houston (#23), Green Bay (#25), Tennessee twice (#27) and Oakland (#30). There are only 32 teams in the league. Let's just say that the schedule-makers helped Manning get past Marino. Unfortunately for Indy, the schedule-makers can't help them in the playoffs. If Plummer doesn't F-up, this one is all Denver.
indy has an average defense that can easily give up plenty of rushing yards to the broncos. The broncos have played surprisingly good defense this year. I am not sure if an upset is in the making, but even if the broncos are down 17 with 3 minutes left, i am not sure the colts will be able to prevent the backdoor cover.
