I don't think it is going to be that close. 31-17 Indy.

 

I don't think the Bengals can score with us and I think we come out ready to play on Sunday. We are healthy on D and TY will be running around again. I think we will have some happy folks on the board Sunday night. TY hasn't played since we clinched the division.

Depends on which of these two Jekyll and Hyde teams show up. Undecided. I'll just watch and hope for the best....

You hit that squarely on the head. We all know the Colts. The Bengals are even more strange. They get hammered at home against Cleveland early on...beat the Ravens twice...get slaughtered by the Colts, Pats, and Pitt. Now, they finish the season by *-pounding the Browns at Cleveland....beat the Broncos by 9.....and gave the Steelers more than they wanted last week in Pitt. with Green fumbling at the Pitt. 32 with under 4:00 to play, only down by three.

Went against your own team.

Always will if I feel it's a good bet. Besides, if the Colts win by 3 or less, I'm happy both ways. If the Colts win by more than 3, I'll still be happy and just chalk it up to a lost bet. If the Bengals beat us, well, the pain will be a little less.  ;)

No score. But, I did notice that the Colts only lost this year when it was a later game.

 

And this game is early.

 

 

So I guess Colts win.

 

I look at a great many angles each week but I didn't realize this one! I may have to hedge!!  :)

The later games are usually against tougher competition.  :peek:

I think we are going to see a much more motivated Bengal team this time around. I think that it's going to be close game. Being an optimistic Colts fan Im going to say 21-17 Colts. My fear is that the following scenario may play out: Colts come in overly confident due to their domination of the Bengals 2 months ago, come out flat and fall behind early. This could lead to throwing every down and forcing Andrew Luck into a couple of turnorvers. I would hope this will not happen.

Yup. This goes way back to the Manning era. If we play at 1pm. We win. Period. I think it has something to do with energy or something. Not so much the personnel because this holds true with different teams and spans over a long period of time. A betting man has to have noticed this already.

This one didn't but I'm not hedging my bet either.

someone earlier in the thread sayd It best, depends which teams show up. We were crushing teams early then after getting blasted by Pit and Ne we seem to have lost something. Cin is even more odd getting killed by bad teams and also killing good teams up and down all season. not sure

Yep, the fall behind early thing drives me nuts, and I have a feeling it happens once again. Colts are like a Rocky fight- get the hell knocked out of you for a couple rounds and then get those key important blows in later in the fight that ultimately win it...

LOL.....just cracking on your bet Hammer. :)

 

  We have a lot of fun with those bets. 4 old Colts fans (163 combined yrs.) all throw a little money in the pot at the beginning of the season and have our own little game. We use the Vegas odds. After 10 yrs., nobody has lost more than $100.00 in the whole season. We then throw in a little more if we have to and lose it all on one bet in the playoffs. Maybe tomorrow we'll get lucky and lose it all! ;)

      Colts vs Bears post game thread

      By krunk · Posted

      Id like to see more QB designed runs and stuff with options to run or pass. However I don't half way blame them for pressing pocket passing either bc at some point you know JT is going to get hurt. Might as well let AR get his feel for the pocket early in the season. Say what you want but plenty of guys are open. He's just got to place and complete the pass properly. So far hasn't been happening but we will keep trying until things improve I guess

      But I think Adebaware is a better 3T than him. He's getting better and better.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By cbear · Posted

      Do people really think his progression should be a graph line going steadily upward? Really? Seven games. It's going to be up and down. Two steps forward, one step back. Sometines, one step forward, three steps back. Especially for a guy who is about as raw as they come. Fans better expect it.

      I’m glad our team didn’t have the bears body language. At least they were encouraging AR on his mistakes. Williams on the other seemed like he is already on the hot seat and teammates are getting tired of it.

      I will say this. AR imo threw the ball much MUCH better in his 4 games last year compared to his first 3 this year.  Not even close.   I have to believe a lot of that is due to him being unable to practice much on his mechanics until August or so.  Remember even during spring practice he was complaining of a sore shoulder and had to take some time off.   I fully believe that once he is totally over his injury that he will be able to take the extra reps needed to get back into a way of throwing without having to think so much.   I play a sport at a highly competitive level, won't say which one, but I broke my thumb this spring and I just now am start to get back into the swing of things.  But I am not even close to where I was before I broke it.
