Maybe the points the Falcons were getting were too tantalizing for a lot of gamblers. That is a frustrating season losing that many games like that. They could easily be something like 8-6 like us. In 2022, we lost 3 games by 1 point, that has to be some sort of record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Colt Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 4 hours ago, Moe said: DraftKings shows 78% of bets on Colts and 22% on Falcons It is in Atlanta. They have a serious RB and the Colts are not great against the run. It will boil down the how well the QB Heinicke plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to figure out why? Exactly this. There is a lot of juice coming in on Atlanta for some reason. All Vegas cares about is getting people to bet. If too much juice is coming in on Atlanta they will move the line to stimulate bets on Indy. It’s how Vegas wins no matter what. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the only reason I can think is the combination of our recent kicking problems combined with Matt Gay being on injury report for his kicking hip combined with Atlantas penchant to keep games close. Seems like they think there’s a chance we lose on a missed field goal or goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 This line movement has resembled the Bengals matchup with the amount of movement it has had this week. Any given Sunday, we have to pull off the upset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any given Sunday, we have to pull off the upset! Good points... But I find it hard to believe, the just revealed injury to our kicker (which apparently does not warrant him missing the game), would trigger a complete reversal of 5 points ...and this weeks line swing is very similar to what happened at Cincinnati. Unfortunately, with that game. then we came out and stunk. I do find the Colts at Falcons game strange, when compared to several other games. Paying attention to these teams records, and who is playing at home: Bengals 8-6 @ Steelers 7-7 (+3) Browns 9-5 @ Texans 8-6 (+3) Lions 10-4 @ Vikings 7-7 (+3) Seahawks 7-7 @ Titans 5-9 (+3.5) Colts 8-6 @ Falcons 6-8 (-2.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why do they know it? Because they know the outcome already? That point spread still has me puzzled as well. I pointed to, just more people are putting money on Atlanta - that is how it works usually, but I have been hearing different things on that. There are several betting web sites where a lot of people are putting their money on Indy actually. We have the better team, better QB, better Coach, Taylor and Pittman are both playing, and we have won 5 out of 6 games. Just as a non-biased observer because I get nothing out of Indy being favored, I would think Indy would be favored by at least 3. The home team always gets 3. I think we win by at least a FG. They must know something I don't know, because I do find the Falcons being favored by 2.5 strange. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Colts are tied with SF and Miami with most 200 yard passing games along with 150 yard rushing games. That’s pretty crazy. One day of a franchise record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got nearly everybody back for the stretch run. Pittman, JT, JuJu, Grover, Franklin. Everybody but Moss (understandable) and Smith (not understandable). What the heck is wrong with Smith? Seems like every week it's just a continuation of whatever it was before, with very little to say on improvement or not. It's like he's fallen through a hole in the earth. Certainly glad we drafted Freeland. And that he's played as well as he has. It would have been a nightmare without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
