Dungy has strongly implied that they will, and they certainly will if they lose a game. Certainly if they go to the fourth quarter with a big lead, the stars are going to be on the bench. To loose Manning or James or Harrison or Wayne or Freeney in a meaningless game would really, really suck.

I would expect him to keep them in at least a half. They need to stay ready and not get too soft going into the playoffs. They'll already have a weeks break at the end of the season.

Ya, if they lose a game all bets are off on the rest of the season. And lots of temas sit starters if they have a big lead in the 4th, so that's not unusual at all. I think it will be interesting though if they do sit starters when they have the one seed locked up.

Exactly. The 1996 Denver Broncos completely rested their starters after they had clinched...and ended up losing to Jacksonville in Denver's first playoff game despite being heavy favorites.

Exactly. Resting starters when you have a bye is a big mistake in my book. There are too many good teams in the AFC to risk being rusty.
 

is there also an extra week between the AFC Championship game and the Super Bowl? THat would be another week of rest potentially.
 

Depends on the year. This year, there is an extra week. The AFC/NFC championship is the weekend of Jan 22. The Superbowl is Feb 5.

I hate it when they do that, personally.
 

I know it depndson the year, and I hate it too...but I just didn't know if it was this year or not. So, the Colts could have a week off, two games, a week off and then the super bowl. That's a good amount of rest.
