Montgomery looked good. Right now I am not too worried. I trust Steichen.

Unfortunately Steichen doesn’t catch the ball.  Lol

Minshew is known as a distributor. I see him having a good game just getting to whoever is open. Taylor is back too.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If anyone saw any all 22 from last week Montgomery blocked Luke a beast too.

I think it was the game both Pierce and Pittman were over 100 yards, or near it.  Was that vs. Tennessee?

Could have been. Maybe one other time against the Saints. I just remember telling my daughter that that was what play action was.

No it wasn’t 

That is absolutely why pro bettors were hammering it…

Pittman was practicing in full when and was cleared when that line changed.

And yet he isn’t playing is he? 
 

and yet the line moved another half point when it was announced he wasn’t playing. 
 

the speculation across the league is that the big bettors that influence the spreads have inside information on situations that would impact the game, hence the spread shifting to where they are betting. 
 

everyone on this forum was scratching their head why it would shift that much… until now

 

even without inside information, they can hammer a bet with the understanding that even Pittman plays, he’s liable to be on a major pitch count and not effective. There is no doubt that his absence would influence bettors against the colts. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Pittman mentioned yesterday that he had a hurdle fo get over before he could play. It wasn’t clearing the protocol otherwise he wouldn’t have talked to media. I wonder if they thought he had to get through the plane ride and pressure first.

Hard not to think the plane ride might have caused this.

I can’t imagine that’s uncommon.

Time for Mo to have his one great game a year.

Idk. Pittman was getting everything underneath. I suddenly don’t feel good about the game. 

Just means downs will get more targets.

This might be why they called up Jared because they plan on running more.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Falcons don’t have a very good pass rush either so we might be able to use tight ends more in the pass game.

Jared is better at pass pro actually.  Either way I will not be surprised if he starts.

Extra lineman to help with blocking. Not taking snaps from Freeland. Falcons don’t have a good pass rush.

Regarding the spread of the game tomorrow. I wonder how everyone is feeling hammering the bengals -3 this game…

[Moe]

DraftKings still has 75% of the bets on the Colts. I still think the Colts easily win this one even with Michael Pittman out.

As usual it all depends on how well Minschew plays.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think spreading the ball around more is going to help the colts. I could be wrong we will see.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I am usually pessimistic so hopefully my optimism doesn’t come back and bite me.

I don’t put weight into gambling. I don’t care what the general public is betting on, I don’t care what the pro bettors are gambling on (even though they are probably the most reputable, even though they do miss, just better at hedging bets and profiting) and I especially don’t care what analysts think, who are seemingly wrong as much as they are right. 
 

At the end of the day, the players play and decide outcomes (except for when the refs do in a close game.)

I thought that after Pittman went down, it opened up a lot. We targeted tight ends some and connected on some big plays to Mo. Pittman is clearly the go-to and sometimes it feels like minshew is looking to force that, instead of letting Shane’s play design open up. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Falcons are not great in the middle of the field. Could use TE and Downs in the middle of the field. We should have to use TE as much to block with falcons not having a great pass rush.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Hopefully Pittman gets healthy for raiders. Reoccurring like this very possibly could have him out next week too.

With that said, who do you predict to win the game? I can’t see Atlantis offens putting up enough points to beat the Colts just my two cents. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

With how hard that Pittman hit was I am shocked he even got cleared.

I think we win, 24-17. I believe we caught Cincinnati on the worst day possible, otherwise we would be on a heck of a win streak and possibly rolling to a division title. 
 

I like our chances of getting a good start, spreading the ball around and I think we force some turnovers on defense.

If Bud Dupree plays, he could be trouble

No shot we win tomorrow without Pittman.

Huh? 
 

The Colts beat Pittsburgh last week when they didn’t have Pittman for roughly the last 2.5 quarters.   And when he went out, the game was close.   
 

Im not predicting a win tomorrow, I’m only saying the Colts should still be competitive tomorrow as they were last week without Pitt. 
 

So I think saying no chance is not supported by very recent history.

Dupree hasn't been good since he was a steeler lol

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I am so nervous tomorrow. I feel at ease without Pittman so it’s not because he will miss. Just a important game.
