It's not a matter of being "scared," it's being realistic. New Jersey is an unknown quantity at this juncture and one of three teams that MUST fail for the Patriots to succeed. Is anyone here scared of Indy in the playoffs? Look at the Jets schedule and if they win tonight they conceivably could start the season 5-0. WE DO NOT WANT THAT, PEOPLE!
Of course we don't want that. We don't want EITHER team to win.
I'm not saying you're wrong to root for Indy, but I think it's a much closer call than you suggest. It's not about being scared of facing the Colts in the playoffs, it's about them having the clearest path to a bye thanks to the easiest projected schedule in the entire conference.
