If the Colts win, they will have done it with the 3rd worst overall defense in 20 years. They allow 5.3 yards per carry, which is a full yard more than the worst championship defense (the 2001 New England Patriots). Only Detroit and Houston allowed a higher completion percentage.
History says the team with the better defense and the better game on the ground usually wins....From that perspective, Chicago looks like the safer pick.
