The '04 Colts are seeded 6th in Region 5 based on the best offense in football. Manning is 28, All Pro, 49 scores and 10 picks. 26 year old Edge ran for over 1500 yards. 32 year old Marvin Harrison and 26 year old Reggie Wayne combined for 27 scores. The defense is not much, but they do have an All Pro, 24 year old Dwight Freeney with 16 sacks. Manning had 2 late TD scores to beat the '81 Niners. Manning was the MVP in '04, he broke Marino's TD pass record. The 2014 Broncos survived the top half of the region - here's a younger Peyton Manning in the bottom half. In Rnd 2, the Colts took out the '71 Cowboys in OT.

Ton of Raiders here; Marcus Allen in the backfield - on the coaching staff, Shell (also an Oakland backup) Cunningham. Also on that Chiefs staff are Herm Edwards and Mike McCarthy. KC is in the tournament because of the best defense in 1995. 29 year old Neil Smith, 28 year old Derrick Thomas combined for 20 sacks. Steve Bono is 33, 26 total scores, 10 picks. Elliott's 3 missed FGs in the playoffs got them bounced in the divisional round. In rnd 1, they upset the 2nd ranked '68 Raiders 19-3. That KC defense continued to dominate in round 2, they beat the '62 Lions 16-3, Neil Smith was Player of the Game in both contests.
The oddsmakers like that Chiefs defense to continue their roll here, they are 2 point favorites on the road in Indianapolis. Lets go to the dome for the kick.
