St. Louis (+10) @ Indianapolis (11-10-13)

[oldunclemark]

I honestly don't think that's enough.

The Rams can run the ball and rush the passer but they won score much..with a 'temp' QB

I think the Colts cover this easily and I expect the spread to go up..

[Iancolts]

Actually expect the spread to go down they met not score a lot with a backup QB but they still owned a lot of Oline with their two pass rushers and fishers D is always good. This game is gonna be closer then people think a lot closer actually. And don't forget last night a new QB tore us up so anything can happen with this years colts

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

I actually think we score 2 out of our first 3 possessions and win handedly 34-17. That being said, I would pass on betting on this game. 

[1959Colts]

Having watched their past two games, one thing I did notice about the Rams.

They have a very good pass rush.

[Ohio Colt]

We will win easily. This is the perfect opponent for us at home to get our legs under us. It's a lot like the Buffalo game we won 20-13 last year after Thanksgiving.

 

This is also on my birthday. We will win, guaranteed.

You do realize these are the same Rams that cruised past the Texans and nearly knockes off Seattle, right? They will come at this swinging. The Rams want to play the tough grind it out style the Colts do.

[bavanlan]

STL's last couple games have exceeded my expectations for them.

 

Do I expect us to win?  Yes.

 

Do I expect us to cover?  Yes.

 

Do I think there will be an uncomfortable moment or two where I question the above?  Yes.

Win easily?

Their pass rush vs our offensive line?

Oh some of you are in for a surprise

[sb2001]

The Rams have played well all year. They held Seattle close and beat the texans quite handily.

Robert Quinn is salivating already.

[ruksak]

Having watched their past two games, one thing I did notice about the Rams.

They have a very good pass rush.

VERY good. I think we can abuse their defensive schemes more-so than we did against Houston.

Each game is independent of it's own. We are good at Lucas Oil, and we will win the game. I watched that game closely against Tennessee. Locker was not sharp. I had money on the Titans so I was into every play. Rams have an underrated run game but I wouldn't expect Clemens to string together another decent performance. We will be fine

Easily = 23-13 or 24-16... more than 7.

You will be declaring a colts loss if the rams score a field goal on their opening drive

[Tark The Shark]

It will certainly be a match-up to watch. Quinn & Long vs Castonzo & Cherlius.

 

I expect a close game in the first half, and we pull away in the 2nd half.

Miami and Oakland say hi.

[BOTT]

Robert Quinn is salivating already.

I'm more worried about Long vs Cherilus. Long gave him a lot of problems when the rams played the lions last year.

[Nobody]

The reason for their pass rush is their DEs, and our OTs are pretty good..

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

See my post above ↑

They don't have JJ Watt though. Our O-line has been okay (bend but not break) in other games. 

[Ohio Colt]

yea because you thought the victory was in hand last night all the way

[jvan1973]

yea because you thought the victory was in hand last night all the way

Go back through the game day thread. You were in panic mode after the first td. I never once thought we didn't have a chance at coming back

[Ohio Colt]

Miami and Oakland say hi.

we beat Oakland... and we should have beaten Miami.

[Smonroe]

They were in their last two games until the very end. Against two very good teams. I agree with you, some people are going to be surprised. But if they were paying attention, they wouldn't be.

Except for Jacksonville, we've played up or down to our competition. Except for them, have we covered the spot when favored?

We did last night.

Wasnt aware of this. I dont usually pay much attention to NFC North teams, so Im not overly familiar with what Cherilus did last year for Detroit.

[WastedColt]

Our oline is going to be abused and by extension Luck is going to be abused. I still anticipate that we win and I expect us to cover, but Luck is going to get beat up...

[BOTT]

The reason for their pass rush is their DEs, and our OTs are pretty good..

Brockers and Langford get a decent rush inside too. They may play Williams Hayes inside on passing downs as I saw he has 5 sacks.

Meh, that's what people claimed heading into SF.

[SkyBane]

Satele wasnt starting at center that game either

[BOTT]

Satele wasnt starting at center that game either

I like to stay positive lol

[coltsfanatic24]

Ten points is a lot for any team not named the Jags. The Rams do have a great pass rush but their limited offensively. I think will win 27- 13.

[dw49]

Where are all you "trap game " posters ? This , unlike others you were calling trap games is a perfect example of one.

 

Home team, playing an lessor team , big favorite..

 

Coming off a big win and is followed by a division game that would pretty much clinch the division. 

 

Plus , to top it off SL has some very good talent and shows up big some weeks.

[GoColts8818]

Jeff Fisher will have something up his sleeve, remember the game they onside kicked it like three times in a row?  He'll have something we aren't expecting.  The Rams can run the ball and have a decent defense if they can get going they can give us fits and the Colts haven't started quick much this season.  I think the Colts win but it might not be the cake walk that most are expecting.

[oldunclemark]

The Rams don't have the offense to attack us quickly..and while Stacy has been effective..

...I thought the Houston game was where we were vulnerable...

This is one we should win decisively...15-20 points..the Colts scure 30 or more here

[Mameluc]

brockers will cause trouble to satelle

[runthepost]

20 to 16 colts

[OffensivelyPC]

Kellen Clemons is far from new to the NFL. Other than that this is spot on. The Rams are a good defense and a game managing offense. Its going to be a slugfest.

Kellen isn't the new QB he was referring to.  He was referring to Case Keenum, who was the new QB we almost lost to.

Sunday we did.  If I recall, the spread was like 2 points.
