Anybody else have the feeling that Indy will play Denver?

Its almost destiny isnt it?

Also the team Denver faces round 2 will probably be tougher than any team they've been able to beat all year.

Yup. Emphasis on slight. No big deal either way.

Well they've already beaten Baltimore and Cincinnati. I hope it's Indy though, that would be great TV.

True but Bmore didn't have Ray and a few others IIRC. And Cincinatti is playing way better now than earlier in the season.

No doubt, Cincy is playing on a much higher level now. I would not be at all shocked if they take out Houston next weekend and we end up with Baltimore/Indy.

I get this feeling the Bengals are gonna go down there and beat them. Played there last year in the first round so they know the atmosphere. Houston has lost 3 of their last 4. Bengals D is a D that could give Schaub and Foster problems.

If it wasn't for that 1 point loss to Dallas, Bengals would have won their last 8 games and their lost before this 7 of 8 streak was against the Broncos which they actually had the lead in the 4th. Now most of the teams were bad teams, but the same could be said about the Broncos.

yeah, be nice to know if we can rest the starters.

IMO, time is irrelevant pretty much.

you could say each as 'an advantage'
-Sun 1pm is ideal for routine.
-Sat ideal for a possible extra day of rest
-late start is better for possible snow-type temperatures when at home.

= anytime is better than being a JESTER fan .....

I'd be shocked if Cincy doesn't win. I think the Texans are officially cooked.

Yeah, I honestly can't put a winner on that game. Houston's playing terribly, but Cincy's playoff history can't be ignored. And Houston's got the home field so I really dunno.
