Colts
1. Rex Grossman sucks. Plain and simple. A team can have an average quarterback and win (Trent Dilfer and the Ravens), but not have a QB that had a 32QB rating as his HIGHEST rating in his last 8 games.
2. Bears have good defense. If anybody can take them on, it's Manning and his receivers. You can stick one good cornerback on Marvin Harrison, but boom, you then have Tillman on Wayne (sorry to say, a mismatch).
3. The Colts do not let up big passes because they play Cover 2. Frankly, the only pass Grossman can somewhat complete is the bomb to Bernard Berrien. It's not happening with a Cover 2 defense with an extra safety, and with Dwight Freeney essentially providing a blitz by himself.
4. The Bears have a great defense, crappy offense. Colts have an amazing offense that can definitely take advantage of the Bears D (especially with Mike Brown out at safety, making Dallas Clark all the more dangerous), and the Colts have an average defense that does NOT let up big plays.
The only thing the Bears have going for them is their special teams. Cuz the Colts ST was atrocious.
