Colts +2.5 @ Denver

[Razz]

The Broncos have played 11 undefeated teams since 1984. They've beaten every single one of them.

Indy is always a dog for a reason.

I think most people overlook that factor Razz, and they should look deeper than "it's just the Colts".

[ChrisV]

Regarding weather, which could have been quite an advantage for the Broncos it looks like it isn't gonna be much of a factor. If the game was gonna be played today then yes it would definitely have been...cold, snowy/rainy. But the forecasts all say a whole 20-25 degree increase for the weekend over today's forecasted temperature with it being clear/mostly sunny.

And with regards to playoff atmosphere Manning has owned the Broncos secondary the past 2 times these teams have met that *were* in the playoffs(the last with Champ Bailey on their team too). Broncos D has definitely improved, and the Colts run defense is of major concern. I can see Denver chewing up some massive yardage on the ground here. But I think this will end up being a very competitive game. At Indy +3 it is very hard to pass up on this rare opp to bet on them as an underdog. I am not extremely confident so thus only maybe 1 unit at most but I am gonna have to go with the Colts. Will be a fun game to watch, and you could make valid arguments for both sides pretty easily.

Well my friend, trends and records are made to be broken and that streak of the Broncos beating 11 undefeated teams since 84 will come to an end just like their 13 game home winning streak! COLTS WILL WIN ON SUNDAY!!! Let's Go Horse!

Denver took 2 out of 3 games from the colts in 2005
All went over

last 4 went over dating back to 2004

Does anyone think denver offense may come alive against a beat up colts Defense
GRANTED THE COLTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SCORE WITH WAYNE AND HARRISON BAILEY CAN ONLY STICK ONE OF THEM.
As for the running game colts might not go anywhere
Even a bad QB can look good throwing to either rod smith or javon walker
I think this game goes over the posted 45 total
45 is high why do you think it is set at this number and no it isn't because washington got blown out.

[Razz]

The total isn't 45, it's more in the 39.5 range.
Personally, I could only play under. I really don't think the Colts are going to score more than 10 points, and while they won't be able to stop Denver very often, the Broncos will have sustained drives that chew up a lot of clock.

[josebla89]

I think the differnce in this game will be the crowd and the emotional edge given to the broncos that will carry them to a win in this game

You are right the line is 40
even better since I plan to bet over
addai and rhodes won't be running anywhere which will only leave the passing game also denver has the weapons to have a shootout only no one caused them to do so yet this year. As I said bailey can only stick one person harrison or wayne. Colts will score and can keep scoring if need be we all saw many times manning will abandon the run and throw ever down if he has too. Which I think will cause shanahan to stop playing conservative and sitting on his small leads have plummer(jake the snake) throw and run to try and keep a leg up on indy because no lead to great will be safe if indy's passing game is clicking.

I'm pretty certain that, to date, Manning's never thrown a TD pass at Invesco Field . . .

Final Score:

Indianapolis 6
Denver 20

I am slightly under the influence...

[AC1318]

I like Denver actually I was one of the first on page one to claim them a win but I do think the game will go over maybe it is partially because the last 4 went over by a large margin. But then that is why books are in buss. I take over you take under one of us wins the other loses they take the vig.

If Denver wins 45-0, I'll be thrilled. I don't know if I'll even play under, but if I do, it will be nowhere near as big as my Denver -2.5 play.

gummo, did you have any idea? This thread gonna be 100post/1,000view by game time . . .

Well I was a sucker and now .....

after reading all these threads I had changed my bet to:

Cheifs -4 10/11
Denver -3 evens
carlonia just to win 10/23

I don't understand the unit stuff so my bet is $200 on the nose. Thanks for the first one but I have noticed the colts are moving the ball a bit easy at the mo and denver are throwing??

The cheifs was a good call but there was some terrible TOs

[eggy6198]

okay so denver scored but why oh why are they not running it and keeping the beast manning on the field as he owns them so far. Come on Denver!!

[eggy6198]

any thoughts on how this play is looking?

looks like 10 -6 HT but Manning looks like he can tear them a new one at the Mo.

[gummo]

Denver = Real Deal

Indy = FRAUD

[Checkerboard]

gummo, go DEN! Let's get this thread up over 100post/1,000
view!

[Illusion]

This one is gonna be close. Us denver backers need another maical drive by Jake.

[eggy6198]

mmmm

This one is gonna be close. Us denver backers need another maical drive by Jake.

This isn't looking good Denver are throwing!! They are not stopping Manning and trying to win a shoot out.

Pound them Denver I am now getting more than a bit worried that I should have gone with the sucker Colts bet.

You run against this team.

[dave11486]

You're right, Indy is getting on the scoreboard more than I thought they would. Not good.

[Illusion]

That turnover really hurt, but there's still plenty of time.

[dave11486]

Denver still wins by 4 I think...

[eggy6198]

currently colts have more yards on the ground!! ooo no just changed.

Now they work out what to do. is this passing to set up the run??

If you keep manning of the pitch the defence will be rested and they can still cover the spread need a FG this drive.

[eggy6198]

okay what happened there. THEY RAN IT!!

D rested now time for a stop.

[eggy6198]

big play come on stop them!!

[eggy6198]

arrrr manning owes them

[Checkerboard]

I know there's lots to play still, but I'm reminded by the
current score of a funny feeling I had when I woke up this morning . . . a thought popped into my head DEN wins by 1.
Spooky. Hallowe'en. C'mon DEN . . . I have -2.5.

[eggy6198]

85% of his passing complete so much for the defence.

I really wish I hadn't come on here today. All the good points where on the Broncos while the Colts backers just said its the Colts with a start.

They where right.

[eggy6198]

poo we need a touch down

[eggy6198]

only 7 will do this drive or the colts backers have it

[eggy6198]

make it.......yessssss
