Colts minus 2.5 vs Pats

[dw49]

Bit surprising to me as I thought maybe he Pats would be around -1.

[pgt_rob]

Pretty surprising honestly.

[TAPLOOK]

Love it.

[jvan1973]

Love it.

Me too I don't think this regime has lost being a home dog

[amfootball]

Seems about right. It may come down to 2 though before Sunday.

[amfootball]

Me too I don't think this regime has lost being a home dog

It is great motivation for the home team for sure.

[swflacoltsfans]

I am scared, real scared.

[TKnight24]

Probably would've said -18 if it was up in NE

0-3 vs the AFC Top Dawgs on the road

1-0 against them at home in the Luck era

[jvan1973]

I am scared, real scared.

Why? Will you be sacrificed if the colts lose?

[Shane Bond]

Luck is hot and our D has played well at home.

 

Very excited for this game.

[Superman]

Minus 2.5 means we're favored.

[B~Town]

Me too I don't think this regime has lost being a home dog

We are favored by 2.5

 

On a side not we a .56 winning when favored

NE is .58 when not favored

[jvan1973]

Minus 2.5 means we're favored.

yeah, i guess i was just assuming we would be the dog. . My bad Im kind of surprised as well

[Superman]

It says where the early money is going. A lot of people must be talking up the Colts. They did just win convincingly on Monday night, so I get it.

Doubled.

Isn't the opening line where the odds makers put then it adjusted to where the money is going ?

Yeah, maybe the Irsay family can crank up the heat and pump in fake crowd noise.

 

I guarantee you that stadium will be "warm" to say the least.  It's for the fans of course.  Yeah, the fans.

 

If the Pats win, are you gonna disappear for 6 days like you did after the Broncos' loss?

[Superman]

Yup.

[Yoshinator]

Again, home team is worth about 3 points against two fairly matched teams. I expect that line to come down though to get more money toward the Pats.

Agree, I expect it to come down to 1 point favorites for the Colts by Sunday. Oh yeah, I do have to ask, how is the Pats O-Line protecting Brady without Logan Mankins? Are they better or worse and in your unbiased opinion, would 3 sacks be a realistic possibility for the Colts defense?

The O-line was a disaster in the first 4 weeks.  Now it's become one of the best if not the best in the NFL the last 5 weeks.

why has this guy not been banned yet? Every post is the definition of baiting?

They were a mess the first four games with lots of guys rotating in and out. They have found stability now and some of that is their center Stork who is a rookie. He has helped stabilize and the other guys are simply just playing better. They had a very good game vs Denver who has a nasty front. But in addition, Brady is moving well in the pocket and outside of it. He has been saying all season that he worked hard on his foot work this off-season and it is really showing.

 

I don't know about the three sacks. Who you have to bring that type of heat with Mathis out?

[Atlas Shrugged NFL]

I learned it from Shane Bond, the ultimate baiter on here.  I wonder why he hasn't been banned?

 

And what makes "baiting" a bannable offense?  It's not a violation of the terms of agreement here.

 

Damn, these colts fans couldn't handle the New York/Philly/Boston atmosphere among the fans.  We're use to it.

Actually, yes it is

LOL

 

You take trolling to a new level. Man, that crown noise comment really grinded my gears. /s

 

Why wouldn't the stadium be warm?

[Atlas Shrugged NFL]

Actually, yes it is

 

Then Shane Bond should have been banned years ago because what I'm doing is not any different than what he does.  It's just he's a Colts fan and the rules are ignored for him.  Try being consistent and fair.

We have Werner, Walden, Newsome, Dqwell Jackson, and Zack Kerr all with at least 3 sacks this season. None are elite pass rushers, but all are capable of a sack on any play. It does make sense that Tom Brady is on fire in the last 5 weeks if that's the exact time the O-Line gelled. Could be trouble for the colts. Just hoping to see pressure from the defense this week.

Proves how sensitive and weak colts fans are.  You're lucky you're not apart of the Red Sox/Yankee rivalry.  Or the Bruins/Canadiens rivalry where the Candiends fans called the police on Chara and the police threatened to lock him up.  Or Celtics/Lakers.  Or Pats/Jets.

 

Simple baiting and a little trash talk here.  This is child's play.

How do you know what he did years ago, you've been here a few days

If the Broncos with Demarcus Ware weren't able to get consistent pressure on Brady I doubt the Colts will.

 

My biggest concern is the Colts air assault.  All their weapons on offense and Luck being able to run for first downs when his receivers are covered keeping the drive going.

 

This game has the making of being a shoot out.  Something like 38-34 score.

I really couldn't care less about some "rivalry". Calling people sensitive and weak for no reason is ridiculous.

 

You act like being a fan is hard. I'm "lucky"? really?

It should come down to the end this time. I think Luck has matured and is better than ever, but we also caught Brady and the Pats at a bad time. This will be the toughest matchup for both teams left and could determine home field advantage or at the very least a 1st round bye. I predict it'll come down to the end as well. I was asking about the O-Line because it's hard to find good info about it unless you pay. Just picking your brain a little

[SteelCityColt]

Let's try and keep this on topic please, already had to remove a number of posts for further review. There's along way to the game yet and it would be a shame if people miss out on posting around it because they can't behave. You should all know the rules

That just happens to be one of my favorite scores.        

[Nobody]

I don't think we should be favored. 

[-JJ-]

Minus 2.5 means we're favored.

yep- basically the 3 HFA but minus a 1/2 point

So NE is better by .5 ;)

Why we won the one time NE came to our house in the Luck Era

I don't remember Luck beating NE, was it in his rookie year? For some reason I'm drawing a blank, I just remember two losses.

Did you dream this?
