The Matchup: Colts passing attack vs. Jets secondary. Make no mistake about it — the Jets are equipped to deal with the Indy aerial attack. Darrelle Revis led the unit with six interceptions this year and was runner-up to Green Bay’s Charles Woodson for Defensive Player of the Year; he’ll likely draw Reggie Wayne as a matchup this weekend. AFC Championship Picks The Colts are the play on Sunday.

That means it’s up to a former pair of Pro Bowlers — CB Lito Sheppard and S Kerry Rhodes — to deal with the rest of Manning’s targets, most notably TE Dallas Clark. Clark is as steady as they come and a reliable safety-valve for Manning in the middle of the field; he caught seven passes against Baltimore last weekend and finished the regular season with 100 receptions, the highest total of his career. AFC Championship Picks If the Jets can somehow limit both Wayne and Clark, something nobody has really been able to do this year, they’ve got a shot at the upset. If not, it’s going to be a very long day and a likely time of possession victory for the Colts.
