This is the timje of the football season when you throw out the stats and see who is the better team, better QB, and has the best supporting staff in the matchup. All signs are pointing to Colts IMO. Brady this past monday was a perfect example of that. I was of course taken by the fact that Jets had a solid defense but proven that you start at the QB position first. In this matchup Manning is by far superior to Collins. Shoot, who isn't? Altough Manning has been throwing INT's like it was going out of style, he does not get gun shy. He can still put up points against a very good defense. Just ask Dallas. I see a possible blowout against a very Non-confident team that has no chemistry and last but not least, they have not scored an offensive TD in 13 quarters.
Colts 35
Tenn 17

Allright. First round of playoffs. I am in a PPR league where you start one running back. I have Arian Foster and Chris Johnson. Foster plays Baltimore Monday night and Johnson goes against Indy. Based on matchups obviously Johnson would normally be the better play but Foster has out performed him all year. need some help lost in a tie breaker to win the division and in this conundrum now.
Foster is last years CJ.... not quite but close.... Foster on MNF to win your league good luck!
back to betting.... umm.... Colt's..... no need to hold my breathe everytime Manning drops back by taking the Titans...
Indy will win this easily to stay in the playoff hunt... CJ will have his but it's Indy, it's going to be high scoring....
Reggie Wayne looked uncoverable last week....
Colts easily..... I'll ride the public on Thursday Night

The
thing that gives me pause is the public pounding on the Colts and the
line only moving half a point from opening. Everybody and his mother's
brother is taking Peyton and the Colts. At -3?, you'd think with the
Titans tanked for the season and the Colts in a bounce-back situation
after 3 straight losses behind a living legend QB the line would be at
least 7. But with Peyton flat lately and the Colts not able to run or
stop the run (ranked 32nd in running and 31st in stopping the run-YPA
speaking), i'll probably look to laying a little on the Titans ML +160,
but that's just me.

I don't see the Colts running away with this game... I think the Titans hang with the Colts early. There are multiple facets in a divisional game that have to be accounted for. These teams know each other very well. Without a running game an offense becomes one dimensional. There is simply no way around it.
There is no other QB I'd rather have on my one-dimensional "passing" team than Peyton Manning. The Colts have still averaged just under 26 points a game in their last 3.
The Titans hold the upper hand in their running game & playing at home obviously helps. Collins was rusty last week, but has been effective when starting consistantly. With that said, If the Titans do pull off an upset, I don't see them winning by more than a field goal. I'm not an advocate of teasers, but I feel a lot more comfortable playing a 7-pt teaser in this position.
Final Play... Colts +3.5/OV 38 (7-pt Teaser)
(If you're looking for a straight play, I'd take the OV 45)
Good Luck to all...

The way the Colts are playing right now I don't know if it's wise to take them giving points on the road in a divisional game.Good spot for the Titans to turn things around a bit. LP Field not always a friendly place for Manning & Co.

Ok so let me get this straight... Indy has the same people playing that they did last week when they put up 35 points against a better defense then they are going against this week, Now people on here are saying that the TENN defense is going to hold Manning to 20 points and that Kerry Collins is going to put up more points then Manning will, in order to beat the Colts. Hmmm, maybe its just me but it sounds as if the SUN, MOON and STARS have to align for Tenn to even cover this game let alone win it outright!!! Also looking at Tenn injury report there Defense is also pretty banged up for tonights game!

Both teams just played on Sunday. Both Banged up. This ball will be all over the field! They'll be scoring at will. Last man with the bll wins this one. I'm staying away from a side and riding the over hard.
31 ?? 28 ??

The Only thing that scares me about the Over is the fact that Tennessee has totaled six points in its last two games and has gone 13 quarters without an offensive touchdown. It's last offensive score came in the third quarter of a 29-17 loss to Miami on Nov. 14.

Since the pickup of Randy Moss off waivers from Minnesota, the Titans have scored 39 points in the past four games. Taking it a step further, Tennessee has been outscored, 37-6 in consecutive division losses to the Texans and Jaguars. Chris Johnson's struggles are apparent with just 58 yards rushing the last two weeks, while Moss has picked up five receptions since his arrival in Nashville.

Here's my 2 cents. Being home for a Thursday game is a huge advantage. Being home for a Thursday game after a Sunday home game is triple the advantage. The road team gets 1 day practice, that's it. Whenever possible, unless overwhelming talent level, always take the home team here, especially as a home dog.
That said, Indy has no run defense and CJ will carve them up like Dallas did last week. Expect the same with some play action tossed in with Britt and Moss as Collins gets back on track. I would actually suggest taking the money line in this one as 94% of the public is on Indy but the line is barely moving up. This will be one of those bridge jumper games as everyone loads up on Manning's reputation but forgets the team around him are all in splints and wheelchairs.
