The Raiders Can Eliminate Manning's Greatest Strengths
Indianapolis (8-6) won 34 -24 over Jacksonville last Sunday to forge a tie atop the South with the Jaguars, who would have claimed the division with a victory. The Colts, who cannot clinch the division title this week, will own the tiebreakers over the Jaguars with two more wins.The Raiders do not blitz often and they use almost exclusively man-to-man defense.
By nature, the Raiders eliminate Manning's greatest strengths.The Colts are 32nd in yards allow The Colts lead the league in!!!!!!!!!!! converting 67.5 percent of their redzone opportunities into TDs.Last week's performance may be an indication that the Colts have broken out of their midseason malaise and are ready to take off just at the right time. Then again, it's reasonable to question whether that win was merely the product of being just a bit better than aflawed.Jacksonville team.The blueprint for beating Indianapolis has always been running the football effectively and pressuring Manning to knock the offense out of rhythm, two areas in which the Raiders have been adept at throughout their vastly-improved 2010 campaign. Having averaged better than 32 points over its last three games,Oakland does have the firepower to hang with the defending AFC champs, and Campbell is 4-0 as starter at home this season. The Colts don't lose too many shootouts, but the Raiders' dynamic running game and McFadden's home-run ability may be enough to pull off what most would consider an upset This is also where the Raiders like to go into a zone non-coverage defenseed per rush.The kind that Manning will kill.The Raiders cannot employ a bend but don't break philosophy The Raiders are 2nd in yards gained per rush. The Colts are poor in almost every run D category.
The Raiders At Home+3 Is My Bet
