I actually think Baltimore is a tougher matchup for us(out of the two possibilities remaining) then the Jets are. No disrespect to the Jets as they have done a good job of getting into the playoffs and making it to round 2, but Indy has much more offensive weapons then the Bengals have and Peyton Manning is not Carson Palmer. Revis is one heck of a defender and did a great job on Ochocinco but I don't see him shutting down Reggie Wayne/Dallas Clark. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it would be a Colts' blowout or anything, but Indy has been preparing hard all week (and has another full week starting tomorrow once they know who their opponent is). Indy will be ready for the game @ Lucas Oil Stadium next Saturday. Both the Jets and Ravens are good football teams with good defenses. With that said, I like the matchup more vs the Jets then vs the Ravens.
Robert Mathis, Clint Session, Jerraud Powers, Charlie Johnson (4 defensive starters) and Pierre Garcon were given the game off vs the Jets last time and the starters were pulled in the 3rd quarter when Indy had the lead. A full game of the starters and something to play for and be motivated....I like our chances.
I was just visiting the NY Jets fan message board and they had a poll after their win today vs Cincinnati about who they would rather face next week (@ Chargers or @ Colts):

72% of the fans so far would rather play @ San Diego.
Tomorrow's Ravens-Patriots matchup will be interesting. I think New England will win and that would mean Jets-Colts and Patriots-Chargers (the other scenario would be Ravens-Colts and Jets-Chargers). Good games either way!
