The Colts' "poor D" held the #1 rushing offense to half their regular season average yards.

NY Jets: 172.3 yards/game in the regular season.
Against the Colts in the post season: 86 yards.
Baltimore Ravens (5th in rushing offense in regular season) were held to 87 yards by the Colts, down from 137.5 yards/game in the regular season.
The Saints manage, on average, about 5 rushing yards more per game than the Colts, on average, allow (24th in the regular season, including the two games where they weren't actually trying--where do you get 31st?). The Saints like to run, though (about half of all plays), and I don't doubt they can put up some good rushing yards on the Colts. I think we'll see the Colt's D step up again for the Super Bowl, though.
REGULAR SEASON PER GAME AVERAGE TEAM OFFENSE
Total Yards: NOR 403.8; IND 363.1
Yards Passing: NOR 272.2; IND 282.2
Yards Rushing: NOR 131.6; IND 80.9
REGULAR SEASON PER GAME AVERAGE TEAM DEFENSE
Yards Allowed: NOR 357.8; IND 339.2
Pass Yds Allowed: NOR 235.6; IND 212.7
Rush Yds Allowed: NOR 122.2; IND 126.5
My main concern for the Colts is Dwight Freeney's unlikely return. I was really hoping to see him sack Brees at least once. Hopefully he has a full recovery.
My prediction: Colts 31, Saints 27. Possibly a come-from-behind final-scoring-drive win. Regardless, I think this will be a great game.

P.S. The "NSSP" is implied.
Of course, [Quixote] carried it a bit too far. He thought that every windmill was a giant. That's insane. But, thinking that they might be...

The Jets and Ravens made the playoffs on their D, not their offensive firepower.

As a Broncos fan it's difficult for me to like the Colts.
