Perfect line imo. Patrick Peterson is the worst possible matchup for TY Hilton. 2nd ranked run defense vs a Colts run game that can struggle. Likes to blitz at the interior linemen, where Indy's O line is weakest. Daryl Washington on Fleener is a hard matchup for Fleener.

Colts run defense hasnt been great, and Andre Ellington has been very good at running. Palmer has struggled through most of the season, but just had a career day and his first game without an INT against Jacksonville.

Also its in AZ, where the defense plays its best.

The only reason I can think of that the line isnt higher is that the Colts find ways to win close games and respect for Andrew Luck.

Do you agree with this line? Do you think the Cardinals should be favored? 

Yes, the Cards should be favored...I am surprised the spread is so low...one site has the expected score as 27-16 for the Cards.

I guess the pundits are expecting our 'new standard' Colts game...Pep tinkers with the run game, lots of 3-and-outs, Colts fall behind by 14 to 21, Colts scramble to get back in the game, Luck gets pummeled, Colts fall short.

That's how we've played in every game besides the Broncos, Niners, and Seahawks games tbh.

I'm just amazed the odds makers are favoring INDY this week at all. At this point, I'm learning to thrive on the prospect of being under estimated. No squad ever wins a game on paper.

Indy (+3) @ AZ means the oddsmakers favor the Cardinals by 3 points. If it were -3 that would be favoring Indy. Homefield is also considered worth 3 points, so on a neutral field it would be a push.

Okay, clearly I misread what Vegas believes. I guess I am no high roller either. Can you tell? haha  SW1 rolls "snake eyes." LOL! Thanks for the correction/clarification.

I still believe however that beating the Niners & Seahawks this year as favorites to play in the NFC Championship Game should count for something in INDY's favor personally. I capitulate nothing to AZ.

If a person believes that all hope is lost, then why the hades should we even play? I expect a good dogfight & we shall see what happens when the dust settles in the final 2 minutes.

How bout some serious "pummeling" of Carson Palmer? Why are so many people convinced that our D & secondary can't tighten the screws on Palmer & make his life miserable tomorrow too? I am just dumbfounded with the notion that INDY can't get in Palmer's face & disrupt his throwing lanes. Carson runs like a turtle on crutches....

 

Carson can still chuck the ball yes, but if you hit a QB enough, their accuracy plummets eventually circa Tom Brady vs the NY Giants in the 2007 SB.

We've won the games as a dog, so I'm not complaining. But to answer the question, no it doesn't make sense.

The Cards have won three in a row against teams with a combined 5 wins. Those games pumped up their D stats.

Before that, they lost by more than ten points to two teams we beat.

Our slow starts and the Rams game scares Vegas, and I'm fine with it.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)

      Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
