which is EXACTLY why I am picking the Colts to win...

Huh? You are picking them to win because they don't need to win and don't want to play the game?

and I am not convinced Seattle as great as people are saying they are

This has little to do with whether Seattle is "really that good". First of all, Indy has NOTHING to play for. All of their scrubs will see playing time. The starters MAY play a HALF at the most. Meanwhile, Seattle is still playing for the #1 seed. They WILL play their starters the whole game to clinch.

Why do you think Seattle is favored by a TD+ in this game? If this were a regular game, the COLTS would be a slight favorite. It's not and the oddsmakers know it. ANY good, playoff calibre team would beat the Colts at home when the Colts are pulling their starters early in the game. Look back to last year. Indy played at Denver, Manning played for a series and then the Colts got smoked by the Broncos who still had something to play for.

Seattle was going to win this game BEFORE Dungy's family tragedy. Now, it's even more certain.

ummm ok....Seattle wasn't going to win this game for certain. if Indy was still unbeaten I figured they would have a better than even chance, but since INdy has been beat, and considering they are playing the absolutely crappy Cardinals, look for the Colts to come out with all the stars playing.

we will see on Saturday....

Sunday's Indy/Seattle game is already being billed as a preview to the Super Bowl in the sports press.
