Who Here Is On Colts ML?

[Speedy88]

I'm thinking about jumping on it. Colts ML at +230 seems like it has great value. Good juice. They are at home, the monkey is finally off their back, and they are playing against a rookie QB who apparently has a hand injury.

I've only seen Yates play once, but is he really that much better than Dan Orlovsky? The one thing that does scare me is Arian Foster and Ben Tate. Colts run defense sucks, and the Texans can really run the ball.

You can't take the Colts ML here - for this play the most important factor to handicap is the business and to know the history of how the business affects this sort of game. If the Colts win they could lose out on Andrew Luck. The owner never has to say anything to the coach, and the coach doesn't have to say anything to the players, there is nothing going on that is a fix in anyway. But EVERYONE knows that if the Colts win they could lose out on Luck - they might cover, but if they win, at the least someone will lose a job - that will be in the back of everyones mind during the game. That is why there seems to be value in the ML.

I don't buy the whole "suck for luck" thing. Players could care less about Andrew Luck, they are playing for a paycheck and a job in the NFL. Caldwell is pretty much playing for his job, why would he tell them to lose on purpose. There is a decent chance the Colts end up with the #2 or #3 pick. They get JAX next week.

If Jake Delhomme were starting at QB for the Texans, I would take Colts ML

I agree the Colts definitely will not lose on purpose. These guys have too much pride and they are professionals.

UNDER is the play here BOL

In this situation, I do buy the "suck for Luck" thing. I don't agree with not doing your best while you are on the field, as do most athletes, but there have been teams that handicapped themselves. One way is to rest a few starters for injuries, or have them leave after a couple of series. Another is to play conservatively on offensive. That way, you don't kill your team's competitive spirit completely. Seen it done in basketball even more than in football.

The Colts have a history of tanking the end of the season why should this be any different. I know they aren't resting for the playoffs this time but if they win they are the dumbest organization out there. If they don't want Luck they need the number 1 pick to make trades no2 does you no good.

[WinningIsKeY]

How Much better is Luck than RG3? just saying, these are professionals. Colts + the points for me BOL

[EastSideLV]

National televised game with alot of proud veterans.. I don't think the Colts are going to give anything less than 100%, I seriously doubt most of the players care about the #1 pick next year when they may not even be there next year. The Texans are banged up and are playing on short week with little to actually play for. I can see them sitting some starters 2nd half and the colts could get another win. I'm taking the points though...

Lol at people thinking the colts are going to lose on purpose. If they lose it's because they are a terrible team, the players couldn't care less about Andrew luck.

Betting Colts ML is burning money. They can't "afford" to win any more games the way the Rams are playing. Best play here is teasing Houston, which is better than playing Houston ML.

[LT Profits]

Houston -0.5/Carolina -1.5/Saints -0.5 +180 for me.

[Dan Kelly]

Because the Colts are professionals is exactly why they will not win this game - it is just business.

[LT Profits]

This is an organization that tanked games with a chance to go undefeated a few years ago, upper management won't allow the players to win outright.

[BuckeyeMike]

I like the Colts getting 6.5 , probably buy the half and make 7. I figure they will show up and they will play hard, at home not wanting to get embarrassed. Plus coming into the game with some confidence and with the national coverage wanting to show everyone that they can compete. I'm not saying they'll win but I feel like they can compete enough to stay within 7. Not a big play here but may toss a little something something on it.

thinking of taking the under here

[GREGREEK]

I love the colts chances tonight! Lets Get PAID!

[YouHave2outs]

in my opinion Luck is very significantly better

Resting players so there healthy for the playoffs is not tanking games. This isn't the NBA. Dan orlovsky couldn't give a shit if the team gets Andrew luck, Caldwell is fired anyway.

[zsr]

Money line is the best play tonight

[GREGREEK]

Who gives a **** about Andrew Luck?

[Speedy88]

Alternative line: Colts -3.5 at +430. That's some great juice, only asking the home team to win by 3.5 at home against a rookie QB.

[thebestthereis]

Colts are not allowed to win, Simon says

[thebestthereis]

Caldwell is playing for the waterboy job, that is about all.
