Damon Hack previews the game

I think his final score sounds about right

INSIDE THE SCOUTING REPORT

A defensive player who faced Peyton Manning this season talked about the difficult task of trying to shake the four-time NFL MVP:

“It seems like he can [play quarterback] in his sleep. He makes everything go. He is calling plays and the protection at the line of scrimmage. It’s tough. You have to throw a couple of things at him that he may have not seen before, get some hits on him, just rattle him a little bit. It’s kind of the same thing with Tom Brady. If you just let him sit there and throw the ball, it will be an easy day for him. You have to try to find a way to get him out of his comfort zone. You have to make him as uncomfortable as possible.”

THE PICK

The Colts have come too far and accomplished too much to lose this game. Manning won his unprecedented fourth league MVP. Caldwell became the only rookie head coach in history to win his first 14 games in a season, and the second rookie head coach to go 14-2 since the league moved to a 16-game schedule since 1978. I think the criticism the Colts faced for benching starters and losing a chance for a perfect season will be just one more motivator for them. The Ravens will play the Colts tough — they usually do. But just as Corleone was at the end of the Godfather trilogy — haunted, confused and angry — the Ravens will be, too. Colts 20, Ravens 13
