I think the Colts are going to win, but I wouldn't mind it if they lost.

Why is everyone saying the Colts stumbled in the playoffs? They fuckin played their backups the last two games, of course they'll struggle then! Peyton Manning has had two fucking weeks to prepare, Steelers don't stand a chance.

Exactly, i think they're gonna prove a point this game.

Yep, it's dumb to say they are struggling, because they really aren't. Starters played half a game vs. Seattle, and barely any vs Arizona. Colts are going to shut fuckers up.

Not to mention the coachs son died. I really just want them to roll over Patriots.

I say the colts in a shootout. I really think Bettis knows it could be his last game and will steamroll the colts defense. I see Hines ward burning the colts weak secondary and putting up at least 30. I think the colts will continue to be themselves and seeing manning on nearly a months rest is something i don't envy. Harrison and james both have big games.

The Colts secondary isn't weak. Bob Sanders is one of the best safeties in the league, and Harper is good also. Hines Ward only had like 28 yards against the Colts back in Week 11.

ah there it is. the infamous steelers put up no offense whatsoever against the colts and couldn't stop their electric offense either. and if you'll remember this was against their starters, on monday night football. to pick the steelers would be to pick jerome bettis being the next "biggest loser".

Drew Beringer

I think this game will be similar to the Monday Night game, but I think the Steelers will score just a bit more points, I'm thinking 27-13 Colts.

pittsburgh was sloppy against cincinati for a large portion of that game, especially on defense. if they put forth an effort like that against indy, they'll find themselves down about 3 touchdowns early. i don't think this will be a blowout ...but i don't think it'll go down to the wire either. 35-20 colts.

Haha,yeah, and they'll be facing someone significantly better than Jon Kitna.

Doug Brien isn't going to save Pittsburgh this year.

Colts 20, Steelers 17 in OT.

Philly rested their starters the last part of the 04 season and look where they went. The Colts will be fine.

On second thought, I kinda hope Pitt wins and the Pats win so we can kick the shit out of them (again) in foxboro.

Colts will win. This is the round where the home team coming off the bye almost always wins. Steelers will play much better on offense than they did the MNF game, but it won't be enough once Manning has his way with that secondary.

Colts 42
Steelers 28

i'm biased, so i'm going with the steelers.

i don't see the point in being a fan if you can't honestly think your team has a chance.

plus, pittsburgh wasn't completely healthy in the monday night football game.

probably my 2 least favorite teams in the league... i honestly dont know who i want to wini have faith that the pats will take the winner of this game.

and even if they dont, im sure everyone remembers 2001 when there were rumors the patriots wouldnt even show up to play the steelers. those were some of the most exciting playoffs ive ever seen.

hahaha bettis runs for 201 yards! that would never happen, I don't even think he's eclipsed 200 in his whole career, much less playing the "inside the 5 yard line" running back role he has now. colts will win in a blowout:

38-13

I've never seen a Steeler team this big of an underdog in a playoff game, this might be good for them.

My ideal game is for the Colts to win 45-35, Manning throws for 400 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INTs, Roethlisberger throws for 300/4/1, Bettis scores a TD in his last game, and I can blame the Steeler defense for sucking so much in this loss, not the offense.
