    Colts/Patriots Total 56.5???

    56.5? Just seems too low doesn't it? The public thinks the Pats will cover this by themselves I think? Last years AFC Championship (World Championship) was 38-34 and that was before you throw in Moss, Welker, and Co. Even if you consider the Colts defensive improvements and the Pats pickup of Adelius Thomas....this still looks like a very likely late 3rd quarter or early 4th quarter Over to me? For those of you that have read Tony Dungy's bestseller....David is about to whip Goliath's ass again!!...GO COLTS!!

    Marvin Harrison is not healthy this may be the only thing that keeps this under

    I live in Indy and from all I've heard...Marvin is expected to play. Look for him to be big on 3rd downs..1 yard past the first down marker but I doubt he does much else at this point!
    He's coming off a leg injury so Dungy isn't going to push him and risk losing him for the season.

    Just one thing here guys.

    The Colts D isn't great but doesn't give up many big plays. I believe they are 1st in the NFL for this (or were)

    The Pats D is actually very good however i believe this means they can stop the colts scoring too many however not stop the colts keeping the ball for a fair amount hence the Pats Off gets the ball less than normal???

    1 colts game over that mark all year

    3 Pats games over (the last 3)

    I will be playing this week with my new system but system's aside I see this one 23-20

    I think I stay away from this. It really depends on Indy. Does Indy try and outscore the Pats or do they eat the clock and run the ball and keep the ball away from the Pats? Tough call leaning toward under.

    23-20 LOL!! I know the Colts will try to control the ball but the Pats aren't going to let us nickel/dime them all day. They'll blitz some and force the action! The Colts special teams coverage is weak as usual which is going to help the Pats w/field position just like last years AFC Championship.
    The Colts hung 32 in the 2nd Half ALONE on this same D in that game as well!! Pats 7-1 Over this year...Colts are 37-20 Over since 1992 as a underdog! Heart says 34-30 Colts with long ball control drives saving the day for my hometown boys!
    Head says 38-30 Pats as they counter a brief Colts rally in the 2nd half!

    I don't think this will be the shootout everyone expects it to be. The two offenses overshadow two very good defenses. I think the running game will be more of a factor in this one. I'm thinking maybe a 27-21 game or something of that sort.

    Of course intuition puts this way over but every system I know will put me firmly on the under......only hope is 4 or 5 stops that result in FGs

    Total is very low.

    I like the UNDER as well. Everyone is expecting a shoot out. We will probably see a ball control game.

    I'll take the Colts running game over the Pats.

    Pats will score their 38.

    Colts held to 17 at home? Unlikely.

    This is far from the same D NE had on the field in last years AFC Championship game when Manning hung 32 2nd half points. Seymour spent most time on the sidelines with his ankles taped up, Colvin on the sidelines with cramps, Harrison just plain out. Don Davis was in at linebacker and had never played a snap in regular season, most of the defensive backs on IR. Watch what happens this week, NE in the low to mid 40's, Indy high 20's to low 30's. NE is a whole different animal this year!!!!

    Same Pats D except for Adelius Thomas. Alot of age at LB and bring on Rodney Harrison too...his slow cheapshot ass won't do anything on the fast track at Indy! If Marvin plays then I think the Colts have a real shot because the Pats will have no answers for Joe Addai or Dallas Clark. Without Marvin..the Pats will put Samuel on Reggie Wayne and probably induce Peyton into a few forced throws. Either way...I just don't see how this game doesn't go over 56.5?
    Pats are classless aholes win or lose! I just heard this weekend about Seymour stomping Tarik Glenn last year because he got sick of never getting in Peyton's area code. Plus how BeleCheat ducked Peyton Manning's handshake last year after the AFC Championship! Unlike the Pacers...the Colts have always made Indy proud and I will be there win or lose to support them. How many teams actually do things the right way and win anymore? Not many!!

    124 Solo Tackles
    13 Sacks
    5 Interceptions
    7 Forced Fumbles

    The LB's sure look old and slow based on those numbers. How are the Colt young and fast LB's doing?

    I think it will stay under, but it could be a 42-28 game. I'm staying away from it. I think my book has it at 57.5 right now.

    Amazingly the line is still 56.5, the same as the opening line. Why no movement? I have the over so everyone else should be aware of it and go the other way.
