the colts really should win but they allowed matt forte to run on them, and if they can't stop the running game you can't touch this game.

I COULD NOT HAVE WORDED IT BETTER

"PUBLIC PERCEPTION" IS WHAT MADE THIS LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT MEANS .. THE ESPN WATCHERS ARE THE ONES that  THINK THAT COLTS ARE OLD AND RUSTY AND THAT PAYTON SUCKED

BUT THE REAL CAPPERS/FANS (who actually watched the WHOLE gM.) . KNOW.. THAT manning wasnt bad at all.. THAT HIS receivers dropped a few BIG passes. AND that if not 4 that briggs fumble rec 4 a td.. The colts would have probably WON.

 this line should be at least COLTS -6 if not MORE

Then please, explain to me why 85% of the public is riding the Colts right now.....

The Colts' still have everyone from their extremely powerful offense.
 
not true. the colts are missing one of their best and most stable offensive players and a matchup against pat williams, kevin williams and jared allen is a bad time to have that injury.

No they don't.

Jeff Saturday is injured. His loss was another reason why they played so woefully on Sunday night.

Not touching Colts-
Manning still may have some rust, Harrison isnt the same, Addai was injured last game should be ready- 100% ? idk, Believe Gonzalez was hurt as well? Missing their key to the O Line vs a brutal Vikings D line, AP all Day through the always rush defense weakness of the Colts, Umm and the Rush threat of Tavaris Jackson because he cant throw lmao.

Skip it wont kill you bro

PPL ARE REALLY TAKING THE VIKES???Please ppl these guys are not the monsters of midway=Tommie Harris, Brain Urlacher, Charles Tillman, Mike Brown etc. I can uderstand why Manning didnt get the win last week and WHO WOULD BET AGAINST MANNING WHEN ITS A 2PT SPREAD ANYWAY? Yes the Vikes do have a really good D and Peterson but Peterson ran to his left side almost everytime last year which the great Bryant McKinnie was starting LT and McKinnie is out until week 5...if Aaron Rogers can attack threw the air...Im DAMN sure Peyton Manning can do the same!!!

THANK YOU KINGQUAIS

YOU ARE NOT OVER ANALYZING LIKE EVERY1 ELSE IS..

1ST..SATURDAY WAS NOT THE REASON THE COLTS LOST..

2ND.. MANNING VS. T.JACKSON .. YOU TAKE MANNING ALL DAY

3RD.. IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO BET THE COLTS AND MANNING AT -2 OR BETTER.. TAKE IT

I RATHER LOSE TAKING THE COLTS IN THIS GAME THEN LET IT GO BY AND GET NOTHING OUT OF THEIR WIN

I HAVE BET ON WAY MORE DIFF GAMES TO CALL B4.. MOST OTHER BETS THIS WEEK ARE WAYYY HARDER TO WIN SOOO ALL IM SAYIN IS TAKIN A CHANCE ON THE COLTS (ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS OF THE LAST FEW YEARS) IS BETTER THEN NOT TAKIN A CHANCE AT ALL

AFTER ALL..  THEY ARE STILL PRETTY HIGH UP ON THE POWER RANKINGS ARENT THEY??

WHY WOULD THEY BE UP THERE IF THEY WERE AS MUCH OF A MESS AS EVERYONE IS SAYIN THEY ARE??

Oh no... you didn't just bring out the Power Rankings as support for your argument.
 
I'm starting to wonder about your this thread now...

Canada Chris, you mean you dont use ESPNs power rankings to pick a team ATS each week?

It's hard for me to understand how vegas is even in business after ESPN started doing these power rankings.

equinoxx and clubdirt-

Obviously they don't have Saturday, but he isn't the problem here.  it's not the interior offensive line, it's the outside.

you must have been watching a different game, the rookie held his own at center.  the guards need to be work out the kinks.

the colts' rushing D has always been middle-of-the-road, never "terrible" or the worst out there.  Their defense has definitely been slapped in the face against the terrible Bears' squad, I'm sure they they will come out ready to smash AP.

To me the breakdown not be so complex...Its Manning vs Jackson..Vikes allowed GB to beat them when all the right things were pointing in their direction:
Better run game, more experienced QB, better O-line, better Run-D..they still blew it.
Beating MIN is EASY...just put 8 in the box and force Tavaris J to beat you...he can't.
A week one losing Manning + an EXTREMELY weak pass defense in Minny = Colts by 10 or more. This aint even a think about it.
If Minny upsets, they did something SPECTACULAR to make it happen.

Minny better run 8 out of every 10 plays if they hope to win.  the other 2 plays should be a punt or FG attempt

It is so unexpected that the Colts can  go to 0-2, that it makes me want to take the Vikings.

Power rankings are worthless and misleading usually written by writers who dont even gamble. Still this game just looks like a coin flip to me.  Staying off of it. plenty of other games.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
 
DID I MISS SOMETHING???
 
someone please give me a reason (or 2 or 3) to NOT bet my whole bank  on this game....
 
ok.. SO im exaggerating.. i would never bet all my money on 1 game.. but common.. i watched both the colts and vikings and not only did the vikings not impress me at all.. but the colts played a GOOD game. most say manning was rusty .. but his stats were good.. and not to mention his recievers dropped about 3 or 4 passes that wouldve gave him another 100 yards and at least 1 more TD PASS.
 
WHAT AM I MISSING HERE??? THE COLTS ARE A LOTTT BETTER THEN THE VIKINGS....... THIS LINE IS A JOKE!!!! 
        I WOKE UP THIS AFTERNOON LOL NICE START TO THE THREAD!!!!!!
