LucasOilStadium Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi, Colts fans! Our Indianapolis Colts are on the international spotlight as they play the New York Jets in their home opener at LOS for ESPN's Monday Night Football. Colts and the New York Jets are playing their first regular season game in Indianapolis in almost six years (December 2009).Colts already won a playoff game over the New York Jets at LOS, but will try to even their home record there at 2-2 tonight as they will try to win their first-ever regular season home game over the New York Jets, since moving to Lucas Oil Stadium (the building) back in August 2008. Colts are also coming from their 27-14 road loss on Opening Sunday at Buffalo, while the New York Jets defeated the Browns 31-10, in their home opener at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.Both the Colts and New York Jets are meeting for the 72nd time in the all-time regular and postseason series, including 4 postseason games, a rivalry that began when the New York Jets, with Joe Namath, upset the heavily favored Colts at the time by the score of 16-7 on Super Bowl III played at Miami, Florida, back on January 12, 1969.N.Y. Jets last defeated the Colts by the score of 35-9 in their regular season meeting played at the new Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, back on October 12, 2012, and also edged our Colts 17-16 during the 2010 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game played at LOS back on January 8, 2011. New York Jets outscored our Colts 52-25 in the two previous games. Colts first win over the New York Jets since the team moved to LOS across the street from the RCA Dome, was the 30-17 victory during the 2009 AFC Championship Game back on January 24, 2010.New York Jets also defeated the Colts 29-15 on their first meeting played at LOS back on December 27, 2009.Colts though, will try to seek to win their first-ever regular season home game in Indianapolis over the New York Jets, since moving to Lucas Oil Stadium.

NorthernBlue Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Bold predictions? Alright heres mine (tried to keep it as least biased at possible) Colts: Dorsett will break out with a 100 yard 1 touchdown gameColts: Henry Anderson will get a forced fumble on a Jet tonightColts: Someone is gonna fumble it on special teams again Jets: Fitz has a good game. 300+ passing yardsJets: Revis shuts down TY Jets: The Jets struggle to get much of a running game going. I dont want to feel grumpy for the rest of the week, so get this win boys. Go Colts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks LOS. Great intro. Great stuff! I have been saying on here for the last few days 27-20 Colts and that was thinking TY wasn't going to play. It looks like TY may play so we could win by a bigger margin possibly but I will stick to 27-20. Jets have a good Defense so we still probably wont break 30 points but should be able to score somewhere in the 20's. I am thinking Fitz will get picked off once or twice as well which will help us out. Bold prediction: Gore gets over 100 Yards rushing. We haven't had a 100 Yard rusher in 41 straight games. So I figure that is fairly bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 My main concern tonight (besides our O-line) is slowing down Chris Ivory, who is one of the more underrated RBs around imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
