    I'm taking the Colts, and here's why...
    In no particular order.

    1.) Bob Sanders is back

    2.) Offensive line is completely healthy

    3.) Indy coming off big win vs NE

    4.) Colts at 4-4, know they MUST play their asses off for a Wild Card.

    5.) Peyton Manning is a top 5 QB of all time.

    6.) Mike Tomlin tried an onside kick to start the game vs Washington and is generally regarded as one of the worst head coaches in history.

    7.) Big Ben has no offensive line and durability question marks.

    8.) Willie Parker is out.

    9.) Manning at +160 too good to pass up.

    10.) All of SBR is on Pittsburgh.

    11.) 90% of ESPN analysts picked Pittsburgh.

        The level of awfulness of this play is surpassed only by your checklist.

            Did you watch the Steelers defense on Monday Night. I'd be very surprised if this is close.

              1.) Bob Sanders is back
              Important, but the Colts run defense only jumps from awful to below average with him in the lineup.

              2.) Offensive line is completely healthy
              Yes, but the Steelers are still leading the league in sacks, and healthy or not the Colts will have their hands full.

              3.) Indy coming off big win vs NE
              Steelers coming off a big win against the Redskins.

              4.) Colts at 4-4, know they MUST play their asses off for a Wild Card.
              Not really a factor.

              5.) Peyton Manning is a top 5 QB of all time.
              Doesn't matter.

              6.) Mike Tomlin tried an onside kick to start the game vs Washington and is generally regarded as one of the worst head coaches in history.
              ?

              7.) Big Ben has no offensive line and durability question marks.
              Very true. But Leftwich has shown he is a capable backup, and the Steelers will be running the ball more against a poor run defense.

              Colts only have 10 sacks all year.

              8.) Willie Parker is out.
              Moore has shown he is a capable backup.

              9.) Manning at +160 too good to pass up.
              You are betting on a team, not Manning. This isn't Roy Halladay at +160.

              10.) All of SBR is on Pittsburgh.
              Doesn't matter.

              11.) 90% of ESPN analysts picked Pittsburgh.
              Doesn't matter.

                  If only the road to riches was paved with conventional wisdom, I might agree with your inferences.

                  We'll see in a couple of hours, good luck fellas.
