The Colts lost a game they should have won to Miami and the Hawks won a game they should have lost to Houston. Houston had 200+ more yards than Seattle and should have won the game.
Andrew Luck is already a top 10 QB and he's at home getting 3. Yes Seattle's defense is cream of the crop but Seattle's defense gives up 4.9 yards per play but a 5.5 yards per play average on the road.
I have not been impressed with Russell Wilson at all. 142 yards, 202 yards, and 123 yards. He has completed 8, 12 and 14 passes and last week his leading receiver was his RB. You can defend the horizontal offense, it's easier to defend than a guy that throws down field like Luck. The Hawks keep winning because they have a top 3 defense, but all ESPN wants to do is hype up RW. They will because of the D, not because of him. If Matt Cassell were the starter they'd still be 4-0 winning defensive games and handing it to beast mode.
I like Indy getting 3 here. This goes back to the point about we are 4 weeks in, and people are starting to think they have things figured out. Upsets happen. Right when people think they have things figured out Indy or the Bengals beat Seattle or the Patriots and Lakerboy tells everybody how square they are. I think Indy will win outright, getting the field goal makes it a playable game.
