    Why are people picking the Colts?
    Just seems like a dead f*ng dog to me and they were the team I rooted for when I thought it was all real.

    they got a punchers chance, Anytime you got a qb that can play at a high level you see this kind of support. It is easier to root for the big dawg and if it does not happen it wasnt suppose to and if it does youre a genius

      Best o line in the league. They are going to maul the Chiefs defense and control the clock. This is a bad matchup for KC.

        Dog( no pun) people are taking ML. That's a little silly I feel. Colts looked good for one half against a SHIT Texans team and you got Chiefs with world class athletes on both sides of the ball the Colts simply do not have. Sammy Watkins is the kind of reciever that has burning that white and blue secondary since Ive been watching in the early 90's.

          the calm and cool colts are gonna do what they do and hang around. I dont think anyone knows if that is a cover or not but 5 seems very conservative for a team like the Chiefs who have been ripping through teams like nothing!

            I love how every person is saying this. Neither of these teams play in the trenches both are air it out offense this is not Eagles@Bears. Last time these teams met in the post season it was fukkin 45-44 and your talkin about trenches????? Btw that was Alex Smith, guy never ever at any point had half the arm talent Mahomes has right now.

              Andy Reid is a liability. Terrible clock management.

                This time of year people want to overthink things. The Colts certainly have a shot, Andrew Luck looks amazing right now and ALL pressure is on the Chiefs. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Colts steal one here, but most likely they’re getting beat by 10+

                  clock management is not a significant factor in a 90-102 basketball score in a football game

                    Nothing but respect for what the Colts have been doing, but their run ends tomorrow I think. I like Luck, but the Colts simply don't have enough weapons to keep up with KC. In addition, Colts are a dome team playing in the elements at Arrowhead, which is one of the toughest places to play in the league. I realize history is against Mahomes here, but I think they get it done tomorrow. Then again, I could be completely wrong. But my money will be on KC.

                        I'm pretty sure he lost last time he faced the Colts in the playoffs due to terrible clock management.

                            The score was 45-44. The term clock management hardly applies to ONE OF THE HIGHEST SCORING GAMES IN THE HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE!

                            NONE OF YOU CAN EVEN NAME THE COLTS STARTING RB WITHOUT GOOGLE AND YOUR TALKING CLOCK MANAGEMENT. ALL IM OUT FOR THE NIGHT. BET THE COLTS BURGERS!!!! GOOD..............LUCK

                                He was up by 4 TD's and lost. That's terrible clock management.

                                  Not sure. Lots of Luck love. While he was hated a couple years ago. People looking too much at the stat for first time QBs in the playoffs. Mahomes a different breed, yet getting overlooked by Colts backers.

                                    Mahomes will light it up.. and the Colts are going to run it down KC throat.

                                        They may run it down their throat, but I’ll take the more explosive offense at home. No sweet indoors for Luck tomorrow. Chiefs just have too many weapons.

                                                  I know a square friend on KC money line. Hasn’t stopped talking about it all week. May have thought there was only one game this weekend: Colts vs Chiefs. I keep flipping back and forth but think I’ll land on Colts. Just letting you know that although the media blasts Colts Colts Colts in your ear all week doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what everyone’s on. 1st games of a new playoff series are best avoided unless a crystal clear thesis

                                                      well Cuse..as I mentioned on my picks thread, I took the Colts +5.5...I see a 24 - 20 or 28 - 24 type of game...main reason is the Chiefs defense sucks ass...ranked #31...almost dead last...and only they and the Rams are giving up at least 5+ yds per rush attempt!...Colts O-line has played great this year and have given Andrew Luck plenty of protection and time to throw the ball...they also have a very viable and legit ground attack with Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines ain't no slouch either...if they can pound the ball and get 4-5 yds per rush, dink and dunk, keep the chains moving, milk the clock, and shorten the game then they will not only cover but have a good chance to win outright...the Colts are very similar to the Chargers ( who beat KC a few weeks ago at Arrowhead)...both are well balanced on both sides of the ball...Chargers are #9 in total defense and #11 in total offense...Colts are #11 in total defense and #7 in total offense...I don't doubt for one second that Pat Mahomes and KC will put points on the board but so will Andrew Luck and the Colts offense...it will be a good game...and a tight one I suspect...that is why I will gladly take Indy (+5.5).

                                                            I agree. Like to see how Luck performs away from Indy... in an open environment. Houston is a trash football team... coached like sh#$. KC seems to be the well oiled machine here.

Rams fell off late, and the Cowboys were hot. Not much home field advantage and didn’t look great in the Playoffs last year. Cowboys, optimistic check. Trying not to overvalue the win last week.

                                                                    And KC explosive offense with the MVP at home, check.

                                                                    Texans were trash. Baltimore was trash. Think people are especially overvaluing the Colts, and Chargers after last week. I read somewhere that the Chargers D figured out the stance of a Baltimore OLinemen to know if it was a pass or run. Huge advantage, and they were definitely blowing up the backfield. Not happening this week.

                                                                    People looking hard at two things in this game. The Colts OLine, and it being Mahomes first playoff game. No insight on those things except that I think Mahomes will be just fine.
