[SilentHill]

It's too risky with the spread on this game, I mean I like the Colts at 7.5 but, who knows what defense will show up.

[oldunclemark]

SH..I agree..

The Colts could easily 'backdoor' the number like they did last time these 2 met

,..fall behind 17 or 21..and rally to within 7

[oldunclemark]

Spread is Indy (+8) Sunday in some places

[oldunclemark]

LB Brandon Marshall - doubtful

..the Broncos leading tackler....

[crazycolt1]

One thing that might help the Colts is all 53 players practiced for only the 2nd time all season. And as always, GO COLTS!

[1959Colts]

The Vegas line has shot up from 7 to 9 1/2 this morning.

What's up with the line moving to Colts +9.5?

[Steamboat_Shaun]

People must've been betting heavy on the Broncos at -7.

What's up with the line moving to Colts +9.5?

Who cares what other people think. Colts at +7 is an easy bet. Denver will not cover that. A lot of people are going to lose some money.

53 we have now on the roster, a lot of them are replacements for a lot of starters on injured reserve

I saw that too...'59' The closer to the game we get, the more it goes up..

...Ive seem 8 1/2, 9 and 9 1/2..Broncos are always a betting favorite and they haven't covered that much this year

The Colts are no different in that area that any other team but having your available players healthy is a good thing.

[oldunclemark]

Brandon Marshall...active for Denver....but they will limit his play

[oldunclemark]

wow..trent Richardson..out for Colts

[Ohio Colt]

anyone here remember when I said in the beginning Richardson was a mess?

[Coltsince4]

Great if I had to see him in this game I would go throw up with skippy bayless....

[corgi]

Glad to see the officials spot the home team 7.

I called it, I told you Colts were going to take this game and have Denver/Peyton one and done.

I also said that Manning would retire after this season, we are going to have to wait on that
