--Colts opponents: 17th average on Offense, 19th average on Defense(5 games). With 6 games, their averages drop to 18 on Offense and 21 on Defense
--Broncos opponents: 16th average on Offense, 21st average on Defense (6 games)

Colts opponent record: 10-18 (10-24 counting Rams)
Broncos opponent record: 16-18

Colts have faced 1 team with a winning record. (3-2)
Broncos have faced 3 teams with a winning record. (4-2, 3-2, 4-2)

Simply dont think the gap should be that big.

I'll take the Saints as all of their wins so far have been blowouts, they have the best-playing QB in football right now, and their defense is dangerous and really only gives up as many points as they do because of how quickly their offense is putting points on the board (and the defense is still ranked 9th in points allowed in spite of that).

That said, I predict none of these teams will make it to Miami...

While I do agree the Broncos should be getting some recognition, it's different from the Colts standpoint. They've proven time and time again how good they are. This isn't an up and coming team or anything. It's not like they just shot right out of the gate at 5-0 and are surprising people. They've been a top tier team for much of this decade. People understand how good the Colts are. And while they haven't had much of a challenge yet, they've proven over the years how good they are. This year is no different. The Colts don't have to go out and beat the Steelers or Patriots to prove how good they are, unlike the Broncos. Denver has surprised everyone in the football world with their 6-0 record. People were skeptical of them when they were 3-0, beating the Bengals, Browns, and Raiders. They had to prove themselves beating tough competition like Dallas, NE, and SD. I guess my opinion is, strength of schedule shouldn't play much of a role in determining how good the Colts are, because they've proved themselves over the last 6 years and they're virtually the same team.

Sure but lets not forget that the Colts were coming into the season with a new head coach, something they haven't had since 2002. Changes, even with the Colts cant be overlooked and just think "its the Colts, they'l be fine"

I can't believe so many people voted for the Saints.
