There is one sure-fire way to prevent a team from running up the score:
PLAY BETTER DEFENSE.
At any rate, I think this is a terrific final four. I don't think there's a Superbowl permutation that doesn't present a compelling storyline or a good matchup. The Jets are still the odd man out. In today's game, you can only get so far without a premier QB, and if you look at the 12 playoff teams that's pretty evident. Still, though, they're not going to roll over for Indy.
I still say Colts-Vikings in February, and as much as I'd love to see Favre win another one before he retires (then unretires, retires again, unretires, retires again, unretires to play pro basketball for a while, retires from that and goes to the Arena league, then retires for good at the age of 166), I think the Colts are good to goo all the way.
