Really interested in this game. Colts unbeaten at home and I think they will win but I like KC to cover. Should be a high scoring game.

[primo_skillz]

I definitely like the over myself. KC will the points is also intriguing.

[Sportsgirl]

No way Indy wins this game. They've been scraping by all season and their D stinks. KC wins this one, IMHO.

[Illusion]

I also love KC here. Whaere do you guys think this line will be at just before gametime?

[nosuzieno]

Don't like the -7, but we are talking about the 3-5 road chiefs, (beating oak, st. L and az ) and who lost at Miami and Cleveland (!!). Indy hasn't lost at home SU since to Pitt last year in playoffs...Going to tease indy down to a pick by kickoff with NE...

[Casperwaits]

Am I the only one that thinks Peyton Manning feels no pressure going into this game? For the first time in his playoff career, him losing wouldn't come as a big suprise. As a Patriots fan, I am nervous that this may be the Colts team that wins the whole thing. K.C. may have Johnson, but they also have Herm Edwards who I tend to think is one of the worst game time coaches in the league. Edwards will find a way to lose this game. Final score Colts 34 Chiefs 24

Let's just hold on here for a second Sportsgirl... If my mind isn't mistakin me, the Colts and the Chargers were the only teams to go 8-0 this season @ home... Yeah, Larry Johnson might run for 200 yards and a few TD's, but the Chiefs defense isn't that stout either... They gave up 30 pts @ home yesterday to the Jaguars! Arrowhead is supposed to be one of the toughest places to play. Consider the RCA Dome up there in the top 3 toughest places to play because of the noise factor... Still kills me everytime I think back on when genious Ed Werder was reporting that they were pumping noise into the Dome! FVCKING IDIOTS IN THE MEDIA I TELL YA! I'm really liking the OVER in this game... I think the Colts win this game, but I will not be betting on the side just because I can see the Colts winning this game by 14 even though I see it being a close game...

[Jay Edgar]

Believe it or not, I like a favorite.
And it's this one.

KC is not a good football team.

I thought I was the only one that like the chalk in this game. I'm glad to see i'm not the only one that sees the K.C. weaknesses in this matchup.

Good post. I sort of have been thinking the same way. In years past, everyone considered the Colts the favorite to win it all. Now everyone is just dismissing them. I wouldn't be totally shocked if they got it done this year either.
That defense plays better at home, they are getting healthy, and Indy is always going to get theirs. I actually think this will be relatively low scoring, because Herm Edwards will be ultra-conservative. I'll say 27-14 Colts.

Firstly, I wouldn't be using the Jaguars game as an example my friend, as on 12/10, the Jags managed 44 points on the Colts - 14 more than they got off of KC. Also of note in comparing both teams in their matchup against the Jags is that KC scored 30 points on a decent Jax defense, while the Colts and their prolific offense managed only 17.

Indy has lost 4 of their last 7, and pulled out a close one Sunday against 6-10 Miami. While KC certaily isn't sporting the best D in the league, they gave up almost 1,000 less rushing yards than Indy's D and that's the difference in this game. Defense and the rush have always been big playoff factors in my mind and this game lays out no differently. Indy started the season well, but their weaknesses have caused them to faulter in the home-stretch and will take them out of the playoffs in round one - which is typical.

With the lightess defensive line in the league, Dunge may want to take that group to an all-night buffett, cuz that D needs some beef.

Since my Steelers are sadly out of the race, I have no favorites and wish you well in the playoffs

[imgv94]

Half the people in this thread like KC and the other half likes Indy...

What to consider...

KC plays like shiit on the road
Indy plays great @ Home

KC has a power running game
Indy can't stop the run if they tried..

Who knows I'm probably going to stay away from this game..

[bigboydan]

When it comes to favorites I'm not a chalk sniffer by any means at all. Make no doubt about it though, we will see Indy's "A" game this week.

[BuddyBear]

I would lean toward INDY with anything under -7

[Illusion]

Line opened at 6.5 and is now 7.

[Mr Nuts]

I like Indy as well.

[dave11486]

I like KC...

[TexansFan]

Have you looked at K.C.'s pass defense? They are close to the worst in the NFL against the pass. Peyton Manning will shred this defense. I remember people saying Cin was going to come in and run all over Indy.

The key to Indy is that they score quickly. If they get ahead by about 10 or more this game is over. Indy always does well when their defense can just concentrate on the QB. I am taking Indy -7 in this game.

[imgv94]

I'm taking Indy -4 (1st half)

[prickbeater101]

One of my biggest parlays this year could be with Indy and Philly....I love Philly this weekend. Big blowout against the pitiful Giants.

[EaglesPhan36]

I think Herm Edwards is gonna go balls out and start Damon Huard at QB possibly. Even if he doesn't, I still think KC could cover this at +7. I really only like the Jets this weekend to cover, but if I go for a 2nd game, this is it.

Don't like the Philly-NYG line at all. I'm a die hard Phily fan, but the Giants are so schizo, you just don't know what you're gonna get. If Philly wins, they get by in a close one I think. 7 or less.

And would you care to clarify on how the Colts defense has played @ home?

Indy's bad rush defense stats are skewed from the road.

[GUNZ-05]

Colts -4 (first half)
Colts -7
Colts/Over Parlay

Duh!

Colts -4 (first half)

Had a few of the same plays as you GUNZ, sucked watching the Colts stall in the redzone all night.

[nosuzieno]

KC sucked on the road and averaged giving up 148 yds p/gm rushing on the highway. Nothing changed today~

Now, i need philly to win SU for 2nd half of the Big Teaser

[imgv94]

Thank god I got off of KC in here.. COLTS BABY!!!

[tblues2005]

I think the Colts could have won it by more points if they didn't kick field goals in the first half. That game could have gotten really ugly. Colts are so much better at home than they are on the road. I think Baltimore will win if Manning plays like he did today, he was terrible at times, timing routes were off with his receivers, and throwing bad passes. He will not get by with that against Baltimore.

[Patrick McIrish]

Good luck with that! I got the same teaser, LOL.

I like having you 2 in my corner on this one. Go Eagles!
