The AFC Divisional Playoffs are upon us pitting two somewhat surprising teams against two that were supposed to be in this position. The Baltimore Ravens play the Indianapolis Colts in a classic Defense Vs. Offense matchup, while the New York Jets and San Diego Chargers tilt is much the same.
After last week, it’s clear we have to take the Baltimore Ravens seriously despite their 9-7 regular season record. Then again, most savvy bettors saw their destruction of the Patriots coming – myself included. New England was a wounded animal. The Indianapolis Colts are an entirely different beast.
The big concern in Indianapolis all week – for the last three weeks, really – is how the Colts will perform after basically treating the final two games of the season as pre-season scrimmages. Is the momentum gone for good, or will the rest that Peyton Manning & Co. received in the final two games of the regular season be the key ingredient Saturday night?
