why are the colts favored

male escort, i guess you are right because i can't find another reason for them to be favored..

DUDE.. ure soooo OFF its not even funny.. if youre serious about even layin three on the VIKS just quit bettin all TOGETHER.. they are NOT even near the COLTS. did u see the Sunday nite game.. the colts played a lot better then given credit 4.. PAYTON beat the bears D many times only to have the reciever DROP or in harrisons case FUMBLE the ball. if it wasnt 4 that fumble return 4 the TD by briggs.. colts wouldve won.. and line would be COLTS - 6 OR MORE.. ON THE ROAD

TAKE THE COLTS -2 and laugh on the way to the bank DUDE

jkock,why won't the colts start 0-2.you say it like that is impossible..wow i am loving the vikes more and more...male escort i definitly see your point now

You guys have to take in consideration that Peyton was rusty because he didnt play at all in the preseason. That was expected.

The point is the Colts will not start 0-2. They are just too good and their coaches will not allow it. The Colts win this game easily. Jackson will have trouble with the Colts D all day long.

Peyton will look like his old self and win this game. COLTS

I've heard this MNF rule and it's worked great for me in the past...if a home team wins on MNF NEVER take them to cover a spread on the road the following week. (This angle obviously does not apply here but a little FYI action)

As for this game, it's hard to call because The Colts will obviously be motivated to not start 0-2 however I can't see them running much on the Vikes' D. I guess that's not too much of a problem if Peyton is then the go-to guy. On the flip side if the Colt's D plays that bad again, it's over...if you can't stop the Bears rushing good luck vs. Minny. I do expect them to play better meaning this line seems good. As said, the Colts are a darling team for the public as always but against a Vikes team that looked horrible it makes it even better for the average Joe. If all the action seems to be on the Colts and the line doesn't move much, I would lean Vikes...If they move it up to -3 on the road I'll take the value in the home dog probably...it's a tough game to call.
