Home ground advantage or not, Indi will struggle from here...let's look at some likely match-ups....
Denver. I'd have the Bronco's as favs there (That's just my opinion...not what the line will be obviously)
SD. Would win again if given the chance...not sure they'll make it tho. (I had SD on the ML this week)
NE. Close game to call now with NE defense back to 90% health.
Cinci...yeah, give Indi the edge there.
Pittsburgh...Tough game to call with the Steelers back to full strength.
KC...Silly as it sounds, I'd have them only as slight dogs. Great running game, and surprisingly strong run D. (Although allowing Tiki 220 yesterday was poor, and either them or SD will make it)
If they still manage to sneak through 2 play-off games against that lot, then comes the SB....
Carolina would beat the pants off them.
Seattle would be a close game to call, but edge to the Seahawks.
I'd have Chicago as slight favs now with Grossman back.
Giants would be a close call...Still not convinced of Eli on the road, but they'd be in it all the way...
...and Washington (although unlikely to get there now) would also be getting a chuck of my $$.
So there you go. 11 teams that I think are equal if not better than Indi right now, imho.
(Of course, the way the season is going for them, they are just as likely to play KC and Cinci, who I'd consider to be their 2 'easiest' opponents. :cursin: )
