    Well neither of these teams are much better than the other. They both rank low in all categories.

    Take the bucs and thank me later! Dont let the colts from last week v.s. a horrible steeler team cloud youre mind. The Bucs Defensive line is NASTY and will tear painter apart!

    im with jerseylove, tease the Bucs down to -4 or -3 and you should get a win. painter in his first start on the road will not be pretty. the bucs play very well at home. they did lose to the lions there in week one, but held that offense down a majority of the game. is the colts offense even 30% as good as the Lions offense? not in my mind

    If you are going to tease the way to go is Colts +16.5 or 17. Bucs just don't blow people out. People are going to think I am crazy and maybe only picking 61% on the year (thread on the college handicapping board) I am crazy, but I am going to sprinkle a little on the Colts ML. I don't see any value in taking the Bucs, but I guess with a few turnovers I could see a way they cover. If the colts play semi solid they cover the number, if they play really solid they have a shot to win outright.

    I will probably go with Colts +17 and Under 46 in a teaser and sprinkly a little on Colts +420 (too good a value to pass). GL either way

    Don't bet your money based upon which side is bet the most!
    It seems to make lower level bettors feel that they are then "sharp", and the side that has more money are "the squares".
    Thats a very good way to lose your ass. Ridiculous strategy.
    Handicap the game based upon team performances, match ups, players, "O", "D", QB's, coaching, home field, weather, revenge, turf, time zones, injuries, meaningful trends, motivation, strength of schedules... meaningful facts.
