free money

i wont put any numbers on this game until wendsday but just off the top of my head, are you guys telling me that indi aint going to beat houston by at least 28. this could be one of those games where 19 1/2 points is equal to one factor only and that is no factor.
manning will at least 3 quarters and is going to blitzkrieg tenn. with pass after pass after pass after pass and the run game will probably open up black holes in the titan defense. punt ratio will probably be 1-4 maybe even 5 and field position off the punts will probably set up quite well for indi. more times then not. turnovers, interceptions and fumbles might even make up half their scoring. that 19 1/2 will probably be gone by the middle of the 2nd quarter maybe even by the end of the 1st. i can easy see this game going 52to maybe 13-17.
the only thing that tenn has going for it is they aint playing dallas

line should go down to -18 and colts should cover this at home

**Illusion** · 10-04-06, 07:14 AM

I played Houston against Indy twice last year when the spreads were like 17 and got burned both times. I will probably pass alltogether.

**moses millsap** · 10-04-06, 09:17 AM

I'd look at the under in this game myself

**imgv94** · 10-04-06, 02:51 PM

I think I will have a non posted 1/4 unit on Indy -18. I have them in a teaser @ -5.5 at that should be easy. If Indy won by less than 7 I would be shocked..

"Good"

"Crappy"

Objective technical jargon like this is way over my head. Please dumb it down a little.

Refresh my memory; what was the fundamental paradigm shift which occurred in the NFL five years ago? Was that when Tagliabue lifted the ban on cyborgs?

Please clarify the statement in bold for me please.. And why is it when someone has an opinion that is different than of you're own,you begin to act bitter and frustrated?

Ummm..."Don't you ever grow tired of losing of your legal tender?" I guess I'm not sure what's opaque about the original question.

("Your" not "you're", champ. Adorable effort, though.)

Careful there, RickySteve

Watch your step, Ricky.

If you speak ill of the Cyborgs, I will see to it that you are permanently banned from this forum and that your name is forwarded to the appropriate authorites.

The Cyborgs are our benefactors and our friends and you had best never again forget that.

Haven't you ever wondered where poster Winston Smith went? Hint: he's not making any Cyborg jokes now.

Hey, I'm Ru12WxR6's biggest fan. That manbot is a true inspiration.

No chance of me laying 19 points in an NFL game. I just ain't going to do it.

**shady610** · 10-05-06, 02:02 AM

i gotta believe that Ten can cover this.

**patswin** · 10-05-06, 09:11 AM

Dallas beat them by 30 points at home. Indy should be able to cover 18 here

I tend to agree.

Seems to me that Indy is -18 based on a stale reputation (which is how all the juicy lines come about).

They are not as explosive on O -- nor are they trying to be.
Their red zone D is terrible.
And the entire roster knows they can and will win it at the end if it comes to that.

They may get up by 3 TDs and stay there, but I think that's a 40-45% scenario.

**sportsfun** · 10-08-06, 01:30 PM

well this might be upset of year if holds, halftime ten 10 ind 0.

**bigboydan** · 10-08-06, 02:28 PM

I see it's 13-7 right now in the 4th. I hope Tennessee does beat Indy in this game, although I think the Colts will put it out at the end.

I don't care who wins just as long as they don't go on a scoring frenzy late.

**bigboydan** · 10-08-06, 02:46 PM

So much for that upset. The Colts just took the lead in that game 14-13. Oh sure theres time left in the game, but we all know Indy will win the game.

**goldengoat** · 10-08-06, 03:06 PM

i feel like a fool for not considering the under

indy's trouble stopping the run and fisher wanting to shorten the game

hindsight is 20/20 though

also doesn't work as well if tenn falls behind big early

ah well, i figured indy would cover

would love to see bears vs colts
