*** MONDAY NFL ***

24-18

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS +10.5

small play... this game is disgusting. basically who is tampa bay to be laying dd spreads? they are awful ats at home at 5-16 their last 21. i know after last year they are this big up and coming team but what have they done this year? they werent in the detroit game..they got a td with a min left to make it 27-20. they were down 17-0 at the half to winless minnesota and hung on to beat an atlanta team thats nothing special on the road and only got 16 points in the process.   t.b is not a big play offense they methodically drive the ball down the field and freeman hasnt been that impressive this year with 2tds/4 pics so far.  their d is  good but indys d is actually giving up less yards a game.  their ppg is a little misleading.. collins fumbled twice in the opening game of the year right off the bat in his own territory and it was 17-0 in the blink of an eye. i also dont think indy is losing anything with painter starting. he came in and got them  the game tying td last week, and if you remember wayne wanted him as qb not collins (who has no clue about this offense).

any lean on ttls?

What you are not acknowledging my neighbor from the north is.

The Colts played an emotional game last week where they were determined to show the nation that they are not writing off the season. They also were driving against a defense that is not clicking right now and may be a little long in the tooth.

This game tonight should help people get to sleep earlier than normal

I'm thinking something like  27 - 13 tonight Tampa Bay

GL with your plays  

i completely disagree about that whole emotion stuff. if anything they should be proud they were tied with pitt at the end. this is a monday night game and if anything i think they play hard for painter on offense...the words of reggie wayne.."we need to protect our own".  and emotion or not nothing warrants the tampa bay bucs to laying dd to anyone in the nfl regardless of the outcome tonight.

GL Bad.

i agree with the pick. PLUS Tony Dungy will be there in attendance with the owner of the Colts to bring the good vibes

id lean under quo..

GL

not worried about TB being at home and it being MNF?

BOL  Badl.... 

i agree badlands, i think tampa will win, but like your sayin. the stats you mention, same ones i,m lookin at. i,m stayin away from this monday niter! painter knows da playbook. and offence/defense #erz are a wash. home teams find ways to win out right, but by how much?

With Badlands on this - this game is setting up for a shocker, would not be surprised if Indy walks away with the victory.

Reggie made it clear that he felt Painter should have been the QB once Manning went down, and I have a feeling that he would like to prove he's right. I see alot of balls going his way en route to a couple TDs. I wish my book had a prop on Wayne tonight cause I'd be all over that.

GL Badlands. This should be interesting. Indy +10.5 and Under for me, along with a sprinkle on the ML. +440, why not? :)

good luck Bads.

looking forward more to seeing some bases picks today.  you had a great run last year  

BOL buddy!

GL BRO, IM OTHER SIDE TONIGHT

 

Colts owner came out a couple of wks ago and said Manning could be back Dec. I think he's sending the message to the team not to packed it in yet. We'll have a better team/playoffs if we can substain until Manning comes back. This Colts team is facing adversity and their D is stepping up big time. Give me those +pts baby!!

I agree, choiOi, Colts defense is definitely stepping up and I see this being closer than people think.

By the way, who are the Buccaneers?

I tailed you on baltimore last night on a sizeable wager. thank you.

I think the Bucs pulls out the win, but I wouldn't layed dd pts on them against anyone...
Also I acutaly like the Colts better with Painter in for Collins -- he knows hte playbooke better and he looked good last week with the exception of the 1st drive, much better than Collins imo...
Also, the Colts D have been decent so far and with the Colts starting to get the run game going for the first time in ages it's hard to see a blowout by the Bucs here imo...

Colts +10.5 seems solid to me!
