ESPN analysts Mark Schlereth and Tedy Bruschi give their predictions for Sunday afternoon's AFC Championship Game between the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts.

Bruschi, the former New England Patriots linebacker, likes the underdog.

"I am a believer in ground and pound," Bruschi says. "I think they've done a good job this year of knowing who they are. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, winning on first down, getting in manageable second-down and third-down situations and not putting the ball in Mark Sanchez's hands too many times ... Twenty-two attempts, that's got to be the maximum amount of attempts that he has.

"I think they also need a couple plays special teams-wise, but that's not out of the question because the Colts have always given up big plays, especially in the big games."
