The stats show that you can run against this Saint Defense and I think the Colts know it. The Colts usually have the same rushing attempts vs passing attempts. A balance Attack. Manning and Addai will use the clock with small bites of yardage up and down the field.
Tick tock goes the clock.
Saints are a home run team and will need lots turnovers to win this game and since the Colts protect the ball so well that won't come easy.
I believe the whole game will be won on the Colt offense line. If they can hold the fort and protect Manning - who was sacked like 11 times this year - they will beat the Saints. If the Saints can get pressure on him then I lose all my bets.
The last game the Colts lost with Manning playing the whole game was against the Chargers in last year's playoffs...and they lost that game because the Chargers won the coin toss and marched up the field in OT....to me he is undefeated since then.....
I'm going with the well prepared hard working business suitcase carrying men vs the blue collar home run hitting gamblers.
So - I'm going with the Colts -6
Final score 30-23
I originally capped the game at 31-27 but that was on turf - since this is on grass, we'll take 5 points off the board.
First Half Under 28.5
Colts game - 6 - now at -4.5
Under Game 57
Over Second half....don't care what the line is.
