Playing Indy big today. Packers are really thin at the d-back position because of injuries, which should mean a big game for Manning. Also, the Packers haven't been able to stop the run since Grady Jackson got hurt. Combine that with the fact the Packers don't play well in domes, I see Indy winning big.

Press-Gazette
The Green Bay Packers will be without starting cornerback Mike McKenzie and one of their primary backups, Ahmad Carroll, for today?s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
On Saturday, coach Mike Sherman downgraded both to out two days after they were injured in practice. McKenzie has a pulled hamstring and went from probable on Friday to out on Saturday. Carroll has a pulled groin and was listed as questionable on Friday.
Neither will make the trip to Indianapolis.
Michael Hawthorne, who started at left cornerback during McKenzie?s contract holdout that ended last week, is expected to start in McKenzie?s place again today.
Rookie Joey Thomas and first-year pro Jason Horton will be the top backup cornerbacks.
