Just real quick:
Vikings - better team overall getting points. Last time Turner resigned during the week, Lions survived after a Walsh missed PAT and winning coin toss in OT. Just take a look at the Lions' season so far. They were behind in the 4th Q in ALL 10 games. Like I said - OT vs Minny, 14-2 penalties (one of the more 'stupid' games this year) vs. a much better Philly team, close win against the 2-8 Jaguars (needed the Bortles pick six), vs. Redskins Stafford threw the ball at defender's helms but they survived in the last second, they were OUTGAINED by the Case Keenum offense, made the winning FG at Indy with 4 seconds left. Good teams win big and lose small. Lions aren't a good team. Average offense until the last drive and no defense. Vikings should get their revenge.
Colts - wow. Oddsmakers opened the line at -2.5 and the markets moved the line to -3. That didn't make any sense to me as I felt the line should have been Colts -3 with Luck playing. The Steelers aren't a good team this year, period. Their offense doesn't make the top-10 in any important efficiency category and their defense is bad. They are 2-5 in their L7 games with two wins over the 3-7 Jets and 0-11 Browns. Now they lay 9 on the road on prime time and the markets are telling us that the Colts w/ Tolzien are worse than the 0-10 Browns?? You can't be serious. There is a reason backup QBs cover so many times the first game they are replacing the starting QB. THe markets overreact and the team changes the complete gameplan. Tolzien isn't going to sling the ball around. Let the run game work and throw short passes to those fast receivers. If the Colts jump a 7-0 lead no matter how, it's a 16-0 head start.
Did you see what the refs did to the Texans on MNF? I've said on here the refs would help the Colts to make the playoffs. Don't be surprised when you see something similiar this week. The Colts are going to the playoffs and they are probably going to the Super Bowl. If the Steelers lose this week, they will just be one game behind the Ravens (IF Ravens win) and still have the home game vs. Ravens. Colts need that win quite a bit more to make it easier for everyone.
Not all games are fixed. But you have to be aware. I've learned that at the end the NFL isn't a sports event, it's a moneymaking machine and they don't need to do much to get certain results to make the showact more interesting.
