NFL Playoffs: Cincinnati Bengals at Indianapolis Colts - odds, preview and prediction

[Joey007]

I don't expect much for Wild Card games.

Look at last year's games though. KC-Indy was a fantastic game. Philly-New Orleans and Green Bay-San Fran were also great games that came right down to the wire. The only game that wasn't very competitive would be the Cincy-San Diego game last year, and even that game had it's moments.

Not happening. Even against a depleted Bengals offense, holding them to 10 points, you can still tell how soft the Colts D is. At no point during this game did it make me feel it was because of anything the Colts D was doing.

I only give Indy a chance due to Manning's recent struggles. If he doesn't put out a very good performance I could see Indy pulling it out.

Manning only has to hand it off to win. Indy's run defense sucks

I'd like to think this is more than wishful thinking but I don't see it.

BB wouldn't take anyone lightly but maybe John Fox will?

I think the game possess a dilemma for the Broncos. The best way to best the Colts is to simply run the ball down their throats and keep Luck standing by, but I really don't believe Manning has the patience to do it and think this could be a shootout. Given Manning's arm and Lucks ability to get red hot I believe there is a reasonable chance Indy pulls off the upset.

Manning is the king of one and dones and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he goes out early again.

I really like the way this lines up for the Patriots, and Luck vs Manning has to make Indy fans nuts.

If Indy can throw it well next week (which they are capable of doing) I could simply see it putting up more points than Denver's offense. Yes, Denver has ran well. But I think it has become slightly overrated due to the fact that Manning has struggled.

Am I the only one thinking of pulling "The Ring" move on Nantz and Simms, just grab them from the TV and shattered them to non-existent world?

I think Indy can upset Denver and we could very well see NE-Indy at Gilette.

I feel like Denver will just run all over them. And Manning's arm will be fresh for the AFCCG

Colts win a playoff game in back to back seasons for the first time since 03-04. If that doesn't emphasize Manning as a choker with all his one and dones I don't know what does.
