Colts -2.5 

Now, THAT is freakin' funny right there!!!!!

  Don't ever think that Peyton in his wildest dreams envisioned that  injured nightmare, the Colts have become. As I see it, lose this game-kiss the playoffs goodbye!  Manning has been pressing, trying to create something good. The end result is lot of INT's. The presence of Moss on the other side is a "non-factor"! Moss never can be counted on to save "a sinking ship"! There are only 2 Superman QB's in this league-Brady & Manning. As I see it, Peyton comes thru with a fantastic game, and an easy cover. Cannot picture any other scenario here!

INDY  -  3  (LARGE!)

TENNESSEE+3 to be safe.   Titans wont even need the points

The Indianapolis Colts look to avoid the jinx of the Super Bowl loser as they try and stay above .500 when the visit the Tennessee Titans for Thursday Night Football.

The Tennessee Titans have lost five games in a row and are struggling. After looking to rebound from last season when they couldn’t buy a win to start the season, all looked well for Jeff Fisher and the Titans but with Vince Young going down and falling out of favor, the Titans are looking for answers.  Kerry Collins was awful last week against the Jaguars completing just 14 of 32 passes for 169 yards and for the season he has completed just 54.7 percent of his passes for 807 yards with five touchdowns and five interceptions. Chris Johnson was bottled up against the Jags and while he’s rushed for 1,026 yards and nine touchdowns, he simply doesn’t look like the player he was last season. Tennessee’s receivers have suffered through a bad season as Kenny Britt has been injured most of the way and Nate Washington has been forced to pick up the slack but he has just 33 catches for 544 yards and five touchdowns and Bo Scaife has 32 catches but just 298 yards and two touchdowns. Stephen Tulloch leads the Titans with 127 tackles and Michael Griffin is having a huge year with 85 tackles. Jason Babin has nine sacks and Dave Ball has seven as Tennessee has 33 as a team. Griffin also has four interceptions and Courtland Finnegan, Alterraun Verner, and Jason McCourty each have two as the Titans have 15 as a team. For the season Tennessee is averaging 21.9 points and 291.6 yards per game while defensively they are allowing just 19.6 points and 362.1 yards.

It’s been a rough season for the Indianapolis Colts as dreams of returning to the Super Bowl have turned to a mad scramble to try and make the playoffs. Even Peyton Manning doesn’t look like his old self completing 66.1 percent for 3,709 yards with 24 touchdowns and an uncharacteristic 15 interceptions. Joseph Addai has been injured the bulk of the season and the Colts simply don’t have any other backs on the roster who can do as much as Addai as far as blocking and receiving as well as running. Reggie Wayne has 90 catches for 1,107 yards and five touchdowns and while those are big numbers, it’s been a matter of him being one of the healthier players. Austin Collie sits at 50 catches, Pierre Garcon is up to 46 and 5534 yards, and Jacob Tamme has 42 catches for 416 yards and three touchdowns. Antoine Bethea has 86 tackles and Pat Angerer has 68. Robert Mathis has eight and a half sacks and Dwight Freeney has eight but the Colts defense has been the walking wounded with a different cast of players week to week. Kelvin Hayden and Aaron Francisco have two interceptions each but Jerraud Powers is now out as well. For the season Indianapolis is averaging 26.4 points and 382.4 yards while the defense is allowing 24.2 points and 342.8 yards per game.

Tennessee is 7-2 against the spread in their last nine as a home underdog, 0-5 against the spread in their last five overall, and 4-1 against the spread in their last five Thursday games. Indianapolis is 6-1-1 against the spread in their last eight road games against a team with a losing home record, 4-1 against the spread following a game which they didn't cover, and 1-3-1 against the spread in their last five games as a favorite. The home team has covered five of the last seven meetings of these two.

This should be a pretty decent game as far as it being competitive and while the Titans defense is the strongest unit of any of the units for either side this game, I think we see some points as Manning will be opening things up and the Colts defense is so banged up. With the total set at 46 and dropping, I think this one doesn't have much problem going over.

OVER

 Yeah he really cost me....we play for cash every week on the head to head match up between players and I was losing by 1-5 points.

BTW Reggie Wayne is my WR and he didn't do much himself this season..you know it's bad when my kicker Josh Scobee was scoring more points on a weekly basis ....well Reggie did better last week.

Good luck

Now Garcon and Collie are hurt??? Who the hell is Peyton going to throw to (besides the opposing corners)?

I may tease this with some other games and see if I can get Tenn +10.
