Rarely post NFL games even though I play them every Sunday. . . but I will this time.

Obviously a huge game as the Colts face the defending Super Bowl champs. Florida will be rocking and should provide a huge boost for Tampa Bay. However, they are not a team in my opinion that can give 4 points to a balanced team like Indy. How TB will put points on the board against the Colts' D is anybody's guess. Also, it will be interesting to see how the Bucs' defense fares against the Colts' explosive offense as they haven't faced such an offense this year.

Olympic has a very strange first half line at +3 for the Colts and I jumped all over it. Also gotta bite on the ML +175.

10% Colts +3 over Bucs 1st half.
3% Colts ML +175

Many have Kansas City as the top team right now. Personally, I think the Colts are the very best right now and hopefully they will show it tonight. Of course, just my opinion.

Gl all!

Agree with you there Nickelback. I just don't the Bucs D, is as fast as it was last year and to me +4 at gameday is even better. T.B. could win this game, but thats alot of points for a undefeated team.

Good luck and thanks for the insight.

Well, looks like I'm in trouble! NY Reb and Fletch going against me this time when I'm usually on their side. . . but I still feel the Colts are the way to go. They have the more balanced team. I still don't understand where the Bucs will get their points, but I guess I'll find out in a couple hours right?!?!

15% COLTS +7.5 over BUCS for game (obviously bought a couple points here to exactly where I wanted it) -160 at Olympic.

One of my top plays all year. . . lets just see if the Bucs can blow this team out. . . a huge chunk of my bankroll says they can't.

Just for the record, my 10* pick in the first message above is for the first half! Not the entire game.

GL all!

Well guys, after calming down, want to apologize for all of those on the Bucs. . . you guys got shafted. . . no doubt about it. Lots of crazy calls by the refs and the last one took the cake with the penalty on the FG try. I have been fortunate to be on both of the winning sides in the MNF miracles. . . the first being the Jets over Phins. . . and now this. As a fan, you have to love games like this. . . as a capper, they suck all around because you realize that games are uncertain. . . there are not locks. . . there are no guarantees in sports.

I saw a lot of talking early before the game ended. . . lots of people ready to cash their tickets too early. You gotta remember this is a game and in the NFL, anything can happen which Manning proved. Sure he got help, but he completed a ton of 3rd down passes to get it done. Its sweet to get a win like this when you think all is basically lost but I do feel bad for those who kept their mouth shut during the game and ended up sick to their stomachs after the game.

Anyways, congrats to those who won with me tonight as I can't believe I ended up on the winning side. . .it feels great but I do know how it feels in other games to be on the other side of this.

One more addition. . . I believe this makes the Colts the team to beat this year just ahead of the Chiefs for now. Manning is clutch people. . . lots of big plays for his team when it counted the most and under pressure.
