    Anyone think Colts laying 5.5 is a bit too much?
    Lot of people say this looks too easy to take the Colts i see here. However, how is taking Colts -5.5 exactly too easy? That is a lot of points to lay on the road against a Bronco team that is very good at home. I think if the colts were laying 3 or 3.5, it looks inviting to take Indy. With them laying 5.5 points to a broncos team that destroyed the seahawks last week at HOME, I think Colts should win this game pretty easily. Denver plays very good at home. I have no clue why most people think Colts look like a sucker bet. If anything, Broncos +5.5 at home in the altitude looks to be the sucker bet.

    Anyone else think the same?

        The numbers at the right are @ home.

        Whenever the Broncos played at home, it becomes a very close game, they even beat the Colts once.

          I had the Colts, but with how Cutler is playing I am NOT touching it, I actually just scratched the game off of my paper

          But others say the colts -5.5 is the best bet of the weekend, I think eagles -2.5 is the best bet this weekend

                Already locked in on the Broncos at +6. They should win SU.

                    Call me a square but I got on Colts -5 last week when it came out before it had time to move..... guess we'll just have to wait and see.

                          looks like it might be a trap game.

                            Trap game ... what side is the trap here? I actually think taking Denver is the trap.

                              indy should win this outright.... with everything denver has gone through this week its too much of a distraction.
                              and also with moreno out. indy played pretty solid last week, so they are finally startin to gel

                                  GL if you want to bet against IND. Last year they were 71% ATS excluding the final 2 games that they rested everyone. This DEN team is without Dumervil, Marshall, Moreno, and their RT. So how are they going to stop Mathis/Freeney, pressure Peyton, and put up enough points to cover?

                                        Colts over Broncos playing anywhere with the spread under a TD is an automatic play for me.
                                        Glad someone posted their history the last 5 years - I don't even recall the last time Denver beat Indy, just all the times Indy whooped up the Broncos. I even forgot about the 'close' game.
                                        I think Denver is playing a bit better than they are right now.. They have some really brutal injuries and lack playmakers other than Eddie Royal.
                                        I was excited the spread opened at Colts -5 and still love them at -5 1/2.
