New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts
Line/total: We opened the Colts -3 -105, making the Pats +3-115. All the initial money has been on the Pats, so we went to +3-120 and eventually moved the line to Colts -2.5. With just over 65 percent of the money on the Patriots, we're currently dealing -1.5 on this game.
We opened the total at 50 and booked sharp action under that number. We went directly to 49 and have settled on 48. Since going to 48, we've seen significant action on the over and I suspect we'll be going to 48.5 later today.
Key Injuries:
Pats - DT Ty Warren, LB Eric Alexander, CB Jonathan Wilhite and WR Julian Edelman are all listed as questionable. WR Brandon Tate and RB Sammy Morris are both expected to miss. OT Matt Light, SS Brandon Meriweather and C Dan Koppen have all been downgraded to doubtful.
Colts - WR Austin Collie and RB Donald Brown have both been upgraded to probable.
Comments: This is arguably the best rivalry in sports right now. The two sides have met six times in the regular season since 2003 with each team winning three games a piece.
These two teams have combined to win four of the last eight Super Bowls. The Pats will be looking to end the Colts’ 17-game regular season win streak.
The Pats are 1-1 both straight up and against the spread vs. the Colts in their last two games.
Prop of the game: Peyton Manning (Colts) total completions - 27.5
