Peyton's play-off picks (1 Viewer)

Manning's had six passes intercepted in the play-offs this year. What they have in common is that on all six occasions he was operating from the shotgun.

I'm not sure if this is completely irrelevant and just a simple result of the number of times he's been operating from the shotgun lately (more than 50% at a guess). Or does the shotgun make him more likely to throw a pick? And is it more or less likely to work against the Bears?

Partly the reason I brought this up is that Indy's total yardage from out of the shotgun is one of the proposition bets I have seen for the SB and I'm trying to work out how much they'll use it. Anyone care to guess how much yardage they'll gain from the shotgun on Sun?

what will they think of next...
 
A lot may depend on two fators:

1) the weather (supposed to rain)

2) how much pressure the Bears can get on Manning.

If it rains, I would think they would utilize the shotgun formation less if the ball is slick. If the Bears mount a decent pass rush, the Colts may be more inclined to use the shotgun if that helps keep defenders at bay and buys Manning a little more time to get rid of the ball.
