I'm sure there are lots of people out there who think the Colts or Pats should be in this and we just were the recipient of lots of lucky breaks.

I don't know about that. The Pats were obviously flawed all year, and the Colts...well, they have Peyton Manning, who is putting together quite a history of playoff chokes.
Pittsburgh, on the other hand, has an excellent defense, a very good running game, good receivers, and a quarterback who doesn't make many mistakes. Plus, Jerome Bettis has become this year's "Never won a Super Bowl but hope he wins one this year" guy.
I know everyone likes to play the underdog angle, but really, neither of these teams should feel slighted.
For the record, I'm picking Pittsburgh.
