However, since that game both teams have been in strong form; the Colts have won six of their last nine games, where as the Bengals won seven of their last 10 games.
Most pundits will believe that the Colts have the edge with Luck at the helm, but they will have to provide him with sufficient protection to let him get the job done, and unfortunately that protection has not always been there for Indianapolis in 2014.
Andrew Luck was pressured on 36 percent of his drop backs through the regular season, which was the 8th worst in the NFL. Dalton meanwhile was pressured in less than 25 percent of his drop backs, which was second best only to the Denver Broncos.
But related to that, the Bengals have not exactly been setting the league alight with this sacks this season. They have managed a pitiful 20 quarterback sacks this season, which is the lowest in the NFL. The Colts have managed more than twice as many, sacking opposition quarterbacks on 41 occasions.
One very interesting factor in today's game is that Bengals' head coach, Marvin Lewis, has a disastrous postseason record. He has a career Playoffs record of 0-5, which is just one short of Jim Mora's record of losing his first six Playoffs appearances as a head coach.
The Colts are at home, they have a star quarterback who plays well under pressure, and they are up against a team with a poor pass rush; this one should be Indianapolis' to lose.
