Alright, I felt compelled to create my own thread to be unique like everyone else. Plus it will allow you to track all my losing picks easier so you know never to read my threads. 
I think this is a classic cat/mouse situation. In this case, the cat is Jack Del Rio's football team, a big bugger with muscles out the ass. And the mouse is obviously Tony Dungy's football team.
I expect Del Rio to bring his hard nosed, ex-line backer mentality into this game, I think they'll come out and try to do what they do best (which is mostly) playing smash mouth football. Del Rio isn't the brightest coach but he understands players and knows how to utilize strength. He's very good at that.
However. A great sharp mind with a whole week off to plan > a hard demeanor type of tough guy program Del Rio is running. Don't get me wrong, I have all the respect for what Del Rio is doing, because he plays his part well. But so does that guy named Peyton Manning.
Honestly, if Brad Sorgi was all Indy had to offer, I would ride Jacksonville here even considering how intelligent a coaching staff Indy has and their wide receiving core. I simply have too much belief that Peyton Manning will read through the defensive looks Jax displays way too good, and I think that is where the edge comes.
If Indy's defense, who must have a chip on their shoulder, who have been playing like a revitalized and rejuvenated group against the run can ensure an all-out beating doesn't occur like last season's match up, I like Indy's chances.
Don't count me in this "omg Peyton and his weapons big time beating group" category, I've carefully looked over this one. I expect a score much closer to 27-20 Indy, or 27-13.
Colts -3
Good luck.
