The Chiefs will be playing Cover-2, which is a bend-not-break style of defense. Manning will eat the up for most of the field and the Chiefs will simply be hoping for mistakes. Look for the Colts to post 27-30 points. Manning hasn't been giving up the football much, but he will be forced into some longer drives. He'll be using a lot of shorter stuff and the running game will come into play. If so, the Chiefs may be able to force a couple of fumbles. That's their hope in this game.
Larry Johnson will have a field day. But the Colts also know that is the only way the Chiefs can win. Kansas City lacks any other weapons outside of Tony Gonzalez. As great a TE as he is, that's simply not enough in the passing game to be effective. Johnson could quite possibly see the 200 yard mark in this game - even in a loss.
Overall, I think this game is a toss-up. Each teams strength can take advantage of the other team's weakness.

No way the Colts lose at home tommarow. Don't be surprised to see a new Colts team in the playoffs, anything is possible when you have Peyton Manning. Larry Johnson wil rush for 100+ yards but the Colts will just score too many points.
Colts 34 Cheifs 21

They stand a good chance at it with their running game. But the Colt have their best safety returning this week, finally, which should help to stop the run. Its going to come down to who scores the first couple touchdowns, if you get ahead of the Colts early their defense seems to play even worse yet, if that is possible. But the real question is, can they outscore Peyton Manning, he is the best QB to ever play the game and he has alot of weapons including Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. I would have to side with the Colts in this game.

Doubtful. They would really have to run the ball and control the clock. Basically play game of keep-away from the Colts in order to win.

Yes, I'm hoping Larry has a few more big games left in him before he rests for months :) He still looks at about 80-90%, which is incredible with the amount of carries he's had. And LJ at 80% is still pretty damn good.
It will be a close game either. It is the must see of the weekend, will definitely come down to the 4th quarter. LJ vs Peyton.

the cheifs will win. larry johnson is the second best running back in the league. he is running against a horrible run defense in the colts.

i hope so but the colts run defense sucks and they have never gone up against larry johnson before but on the flip side the colts have never lost at home.
