Tennessee Night Football

It seems to obvious. It really does. The Colts cant stop the run, the Titans pound the ball on the ground. They use 2 running backs so neither of them will get worn down.

Kerry Collins is getting no respect and if I had to throw to those receivers I wouldnt expect much either. They know how to get it done though. Crumpler and Scaife on the play action which is obviously effective because Tennessee is so good at running the ball.

The Colts in the last 2 years have struggled playing Jeff Fisher even when they were the superior team, this team they arent even the superior team. Peyton Manning coming off one of the worst games I can remember. Joseph Addai and Bob Sanders out.

If you think Dominic Rhodes can run on Albert Haynesworth you are kidding yourself. Manning as usual will have to pick apart a defense. This Titans defensive backfield is full of ballhawkers though. Cortland Finnegan is class. Need not everyone forget Tennessee has Mr. Monday Night himself, Keith Bulluck.

The Titans fans should be crazy tonight and I dont think there is a more devastating combo than loud fans and a sick defense. Peyton Manning

Titans-20
Colts-10

Titans -4

Love the play man...I am complete dog crap this week...Let's end it with a winner...

If this game were in Indy, I would reconsider this play, but Manning is just not Manning this year, and on the road in a tight divisional game with that strong Titan D, I have to agree with you bro.

TITANS -4 !!!!

If Indy loses then its over so this is like a playoff game for them. Not saying Indy is a lock but I'm sure the players know they need to win this game and Payton is always deadly in must win situations. Tenny is a good team but the offence is shit if Indy can take a lead and build on it then It will be over before the half.

G&G-

yamda- Gonna have a bad week every once in awhile. Liking tonights play though.

Looks like we in the minority on here guys. Lots of people jumping on the Colts tonight

I agree this is like a playoff game for Indy. However, I find it hard to believe that will make them play any harder than any other game. That argument has always confused me. If anything, a sense of urgency might be a negative in football. I dont buy into the fact Indy will play harder than Tennessee just because they need the win more. Talent is talent, and Tenny has it in more positions than Indy.

Titans for me, these guys are playing way too good to only be favored by 4.5, should be a TD easy.  I would think this would be low scoring but Indy always screws me.  I think Indy will manage some points early but Tenn pounds them late in the game.

 

Titans 27

Colts  17

D- Hope you had a good weekend

Longhorn.....you should change your mind to the Titans and then we can both win again

B    need this one after my Buckeyes layed an egg.  Good call on Penn St

B - I'll have to check your CFB picks for next weekend.  With college, I've been doing ok but always put the most money on a loser, like Ohio State.  They really blew that game, can't believe we didn't put Todd Boeckman in to shake things up.

Good Luck! BBendi
The only thing concerns me is " Front Door Covering by Titans" That's hurts!

Have seen a lot of times in past few days....Philly/Atlanta game was one example!



bibendi23 says:
10/27/08 12:29PM
Know what you mean WinsNow

D.....46-27-1 in college, 11-5 this weekend b/c I stupidly forced usc and over late and they sucked. Biggest bet was on Penn St tho
longhornswin says:
10/27/08 12:49PM

Unbelievable wasn't it?  After watching that first half, I thought what a perfect ending to a s**t week!   Hard to disagree that Colts have been bad offensively.  Thinking they right the ship tonight!  I'll be surprised if it's not a dogfight!  BOL, tonight, bud!

bibendi23 says:
10/27/08 12:59PM
Longhorn.....I've bet on the Colts too many times this year to put any faith into them now. The only game they covered will go down infamously as the "Wow, Sage Rosenfels" game. But GL
longhornswin says:
10/27/08 01:10PM
I hear ya!    I'll join you on the "Don't bet the Colts" wagon if they do it again tonight!   If they lose, their season is over anyway!
bibendi23 says:
10/27/08 01:12PM
I hope they get blown out for several reasons, first obviously being tonights wager. But they will also be undervalued in the coming weeks. So basically what I am saying is Go Titans!

Tennessee is 6-0 ATS this year and very much underrated

Indy record is 3-3 and also 3-3 ATS and could have easily be 1-5 and 1-5 ATS if Minnesota and Houston didnt blow it.

This is the first game this year that Indy is underdog. I think maybe Vegas finally realized that Indy is not as good as they were the last couple years.

Go with the 6-0 ATS tonight! BOL

Go TITANS!!

If anyone can confirm this, I would appreciate it

Adding:

Indy/Tenn Under 40.5

Any time you can get an under above 40 with the best defense in the NFL it should be a must play. Even if its the Colts. BOL everyone
DtotheP says:

 "Wow, Sage Rosenfels" game

 

Sounds like Bob Sanders is a gametime decision. 

 

Sorry to see you on the under, but I certainly understand the play.  Thinking the over/under is flip of a coin but really like the Titans

titans line at 4 makes no sense,,,  if there that good they should of been favored at 10 ....vegas is thinking a close game -

Yeah, I don't understand the Colts love either.  Just because the Colts are desperate for a win they will have a complete turnaround from the garbage team we have seen all year?  Your analysis is spot on, bibendi.  Major strength vs. major weakness.  I'm just not reading any reasonable analyses that explain why the Colts should cover.  Everyone keeps defaulting to this "must win" explanation with no other rationale.  BTW, the Colts should be 2-4.  That win against the Texans was completely insane.  The Colts are trash on the road this year and got smacked in the mouth on opening night against the Bears. 

 

I really want to bet the Titans, but i have a feeling I must be missing something and this is a trap.  The under looks very tempting, i like that call as well.

sportsfreak- BOL to you

BDWah- couldnt agree more, they are currently right where they want to be I think
bibendi23 says:
10/27/08 10:03PM
Once again, I dont base my picks on what I think Vegas is trying to do with a line. I simply cap a game at the line I'm given and go from there. Maybe I'm wrong, but thats how I do it. So Winn, maybe Vegas is thinking a close game, but I capped it at 6.5 so my play is Titans
bibendi23 says:
10/27/08 11:26PM
Got a split at least. Now I remember why I hate playing totals
bibendi23 says:
10/27/08 11:41PM
YTD NFL updated:19-18-1
YTD CFB updated:46-27-1

Yes, I will finally admit betting the NFL is a crap shoot. I hate it.

Early strong lean on UBuffalo tomorrow night. I have watched a few games this year as I work 2 minutes from the campus. They should smoke Ohio
bibendi23 says:
10/28/08 12:06AM
longhorn

If anything I'll be leaning over tomorrow night. Even though most Tuesdays are crapfests. I will most like just absolutely hammer Buffalo and not play the total
bibendi23 says:
10/27/08 11:52PM


Thanks bro. I am much better betting CFB though. We will get em Sunday though.
bibendi23 says:
10/27/08 11:55PM
Ahh, I live in Buffalo. They have a great coach in Turner Gill and both pass and run the ball well. Ohio struggles to score and wont be able to stop Buffalo. This will be one of my biggest plays this year
bibendi23 says:
10/28/08 12:00AM
Yep, my avatar says Virginia b/c I graduated from VT and wish I could still be there. Born and bred Buffalo though, my bro is undergrad there still. If both Buff and Ohio play to their full potential Buff is atleast 10 points better. James Starks is a great running back and Drew Willy may make an NFL roster next year at QB. Defense is kind of suspect......I will have a huge post tomorrow so tune in lol

BlueCows says:
10/27/08 11:50PM


cheers bro, youve got good picks, i've been following you for about a couple weeks now. just keep doin your thing and keep it up man. lets get em on sunday!
BlueCows says:
10/27/08 11:52PM

I've already jumped off the Colts wagon.  I don't know what it is about their defense but points just show up on the board as the game goes on.  Defense starts out looking good but....

 

Lookin into this Buffalo team for tonight.  I'm leanin both road teams.

longhornswin says:
10/28/08 12:03AM
Leaning Buff already, and under 50.5!!!    Good to see bud!  I am on the "Don't bet the Colts!" wagon. 

 

Dang, looked good there for a little while, then Tenn stepped it up a notch!  They looked really good!

 

See you tomorrow night for some CFB!!
