I like Colts and Cowboys

Two more Division playoff games, two more predictions.

Saturday I was 2-0 making me 4-2 overall this postseason.

Here we go:

San Diego at Indianapolis

Speculation is Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy will retire after this season, which means he could be coaching his last game today. He won’t, though … coach his last game today.

Forget Peyton Manning’s six interceptions when these teams met in San Diego during the regular season. The Colts offense was beat up and Manning was still beating himself up for blowing a 10-point fourth quarter lead to New England the week before.

The Colts are rested and playing at home.

San Diego was unimpressive in a win against Tennessee in the Wild Card round.

It’s hard to believe this Chargers team can steal one on the road in the playoffs.

Indianapolis 34, San Diego 10

New York at Dallas

It seems odd that in the long history of the New York Giants, they’ve never played the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs. Well, they never played Tampa Bay, either, until last week.

The Cowboys are charged with beating a team for the third time in one season, which is hard but not impossible. The Giants are nearly unbeatable on the road, having won their last eight after opening the season with a loss, where? In Dallas.

Why? Because the Cowboys were able to stop the Giants pass rush, and Tony Romo has been able to make big plays.

Eli Manning has played big in each of the past two games. Is he really improved enough to play big three straight weeks? Not when Week 3 is against the Cowboys in Dallas.
