The only shot I see the Bears having is if Manning throws a few picks and if Hester breaks a kick return or two. Peyton has thrown 6 INT's in these playoffs, though the Colts during the year had only 19 turnovers among the lowest in the league. Likewise, Indy did give up an 80 yard kickoff return against the Pats. So that's the two areas that give the Bears hope, but I just can't see them moving consistently against the Colt defense the way it's playing and I think Peyton can make some big plays against the Chicago secondary.

And seasonal statistics go out the window because, like you said, The Colts offense might do better than the Saints which had the #1 overall offense, and Brees is 3rd in amount of yards thrown.
All that goes out the Window.
Everyone picked Saints to beat bears and Pats to beat colts.
In the postseason you step your game up. rex has realized how he should play and he's playing well.
Rex grossman had less interceptions than both Brees and Manning in the post season, in case you people haven't noticed.
