I don't think anyone in the playoffs feared San Diego this year. LT is pretty much done and their defence isn't what it once was either.
Straight across, I think Indy is the better team. Like any game, if they believe their own hype and don't show up to play for real then they'll lose. NO only won yesterday because of a flag for too many men on the field at the end of regulation. If it wasn't for that we'd be debating the battle of the quarterback titans. But hey, someone always says something about that being why they play the game.
Let's see how many other bad football cliches I can fit into this post...
The Colts offence needs to take what the Saints defence gives them.
The Colts need to want it more than the Saints.
They need to play the full 60 minutes.
If the Colts offence can get into the endzone and their defence can hold the Saints, they'll win.
They have to make plays on both sides of the ball.
