pats-3

[gardenweasel]

have finished the season on a roll....let`s see how badly i can mess it up...


have much respect for the indy offense....this team has taken it to another level.....and,imo,much of this recent offensive success can be attributed to....of all people....brandon stokely.....

stokely finishes out that offensive straight flush for the colts....harrison ...wayne........pollard at tight end....edgerin james getting that knee healthier and stronger by the day.... and stokely in the slot was the final piece in the puzzle...it`s very difficult to cover all these weapons...particularly with manning pulling the trigger...



this team is reminiscent of the old san diego charger clubs with fouts,jeffferson,joiner,winslow and chuck muncie.....

but like san diego,the defense is suspect....and that`ll inevitably do them in,imo...

i know many will want to ride with the flashy offensive juggernaut....

but to string together 3 straight monster offensive games will be very difficult....particularly when facing the best defense they`ve seen during their recent run....

offense usually only takes you so far....

has to be the pats....have to take the defense....the weather....the home field....the coach....and 3 seems more than fair............brady should do damage..he may not be the mvp in this match up,but the guy is one helluva field general...and,collectively, has a very dangerous receiving corps to throw to.... and a much more yielding defense to attack...............i see the colts working very hard for every point they get...

if the colts blow through foxboro,it`s katy bar the door....

but,i`ll lay the 3....consistency....

and 3 seems more than fair

this should scare you away imo

over the total looks beatable

it appears

it appears

that the colts are the darlings of the bettors after two offensive explosions vs less than stellar defenses.....

a well known consensus site shows thecolts at 58%....

and i absolutely respect their road record.....liked `em vs k.c....

but,this is a different situation....a different defense...a different environment.....vs a coach that specializes in these situations....and with his defense healthy(which it wasn`t the first time these 2 played)....

the majority of bettors don`t think 3 looks to easy....

not saying that this will be easy...it will be very difficult....but,i still like the pats.....i just have trouble playing a road team(a dome team),fresh off high scoring games,playing outside vs a very strong defense...

thanks g

that`s a fine compliment coming from a guy that`s such a solid capper in more than one sport(i`ve seen you nail some mistakes on lines in some of those obscure college b`ball games..don`t play college hoops anymore but i follow the forum.....very impressive)...

appreciate the kind words...

let`s hope the puritans don`t go belly up tomorrow...
