I wouldn't bet the game, but at that spread I may as well take the Titans, because it can only come down.

Im exact thoughts when I seen that line posted. Im not sure I remember the last time I seen a NFL line that big. No way I will even touch that either way.

colts D is giving up more points than last year

my feeling is colts cover

Tenn secondary is a laugh and if vince turns it over more than once especially deep in their own territory than colts can throw +14 on them in 1 quarter

prolly will stay away til it goes down

tenn has to be disrespected by that line

hehe - that line seems soft. It should be closer to a Temple college FB line.

Default running not gunning

colts seaon ticket holder here...

Indy is going to focus reg season on building running game post-edge so blow outs probably not going to be as likely as in years past. Love teasing them under -3 every chance I get (like against Jets yesterday) and occasionally playing them strght up under 7, but do not feel comfortable with lines over 7 because they aren't playing that style of ball this year. Dungy using leads to run the rookie...

That said, would not bet Tenn under any circs because Colts could easily win by 4 touchdowns whether trying to or not..Gl~

Well I can understand their logic here. Not for nothing, the Cowboys beat the Titan 45 to 14; with Drew Bledsoe throwing the ball. Does anywhere here really think the Colts won't beat them by 19.5???

I'll be honest, it's very tempting.
The Colts usually cover (yesterday a rare exception)
Dungy has a lot of class and won't run up the score - but, I'm sure like against Dallas, the score is inflated by bad Ten play... So I don't see how Ten could cover unless they show up and play out of their asses.
The Haynesworth fiasco isn't going to help, either... That's one team that doesn't need anymore distraction.

My line on this game was -21.5 so I think this line is extremely low. Titans have no offense at all and this will be a game where Manning can pad his stats. I will be taking Indy hopefully at a better # later in week.. Manning will probably throw for 6 TDs in here.

I would take any team at +19.5 but Indianapolis. If I can recall Indianapolis is a god at covering at home.

The last time I remember seeing a line this big was Houston's first year when they played at Philly. They were +19. And they covered 17-35.

To note, last time Ten was a road dog by 18 or more (not sure about 19 - i checked 18 derrr), they are 2-4
They have a rookie starting QB...
My line actually is indy -31
My cap system is actually doing a LOT better than I am this year - wish I played THOSE picks (I'm a big chalk better - or"square")

If the line shrinks a touch, I'm all over that game - and then some.
