The only thing that really makes the Colts better is Luck, who is a notch above Prescott. Otherwise Dallas is better or equal at every other major position group.

"a notch above Prescott" is underselling it. Luck is overrated, but Dak is a bottom-10 QB in this league and Luck is a top-10 QB. That's much more than "a notch". Dallas as a team is pretty flawed in that, much like Baltimore, they rely on the run game and defense to win. Only thing is that their defense isn't elite and their run game is completely reliant on Zeke. Much like the Ravens, when you make them pass, they become significantly less scary.

The Colts are at least a balanced team who can beat you throwing or running and still have a solid defense. I think Dallas is by far the worst team left in the playoffs.

Dallas is ranked 24th in offensive DVOA and 26th in pass offense. It's not salty - it's a fact. Hell, even your rush offense is 19th in DVOA despite having the rushing champion.

Indy's offense is 5th in DVOA, 10th in passing and 13th in rushing. They are objectively better in every phase of the game than Dallas is on offense.

Then on defense, Dallas is the 9th ranked DVOA defense - 16th in passing and 5th in rushing.

Indy is 8th in DVOA on defense - 20th in passing and 4th in rushing.

So again, you've got comparable defense but a major difference in the offenses.

That wasnt the part I was talking about. And using year long rankings is a bit silly when everyone in the world knows we have been objectively better post Cooper. Dak has been borderline top 10 since Cooper. In fact, his QB rating is exactly 10th best since the trade.

And the Colts have recently caught fire as well. If we simply evaluate both teams after the wildcard weekend, it's still clearly the Colts and it's not even close. I understand fandom gets in the way, but this isn't really a contest.
