Pitt will def. be a battle. The pats win was more of an emotional obstacle than physical. Cincy well they are playing good right now so we will see. I do however think the Colts will have Homefield in the AFC playoffs.

I think that's a given at this point

Here's a quote from SI.com...

Want to know why the balance of power in the AFC has turned upside down?

Games missed by defensive starters due to injury in 2005:
Indianapolis (9-0): 2
New England (5-4): 31

An Indy asterisk: Joseph Jefferson was slated to start at the safety spot now manned by Mike Doss, but he has been sidelined with a toe injury. I don't count him because Doss was the starter there last year. Jefferson was making the switch from corner to safety, so he was going to be a first-time starter there. The two missed starts are from Montae Reagor, and those hardly hurt because of the Colts strong four-man rotation at defensive tackle.

The Patriots are starting their fifth strong safety, Michael Scott. This figure includes Tedy Bruschi, even though he didn't start the season as a starter. The list: Bruschi 6, Tyrone Poole 8, Rodney Harrison 6, Richard Seymour 4, Guss Scott 4, James Sanders 3.

Hurt, Not hurt I still love Indy and absolutely hate the pats. I think that is typical of ANY Indy fan though.

Hurt, Not hurt I still love Indy and absolutely hate the pats. I think that is typical of ANY Indy fan though. That's perfectly understandable Just like all Jag fans hate the colts and titans. You guys dominate the division every year, and nobody has forgotten 1999 when we were 15-3 and those three all came from the Titans.
