I'm I the only one that sees value in this one?
Hard to believe the defending superbowl champion Colts are that big a dog at home. I still can't believe the New England Patriots are -5 on the road in this matchup.
Don't you almost have to take the Colts +5 at "home" in this spot?

It isn't my favorite situation, but I've made my bed with New England this week already and I'm going to lay in it.

This is exactly what happen with Dallas too and I believe the same logic applies... Two NFL unbeaten' teams and the road team is the favorite.. Not by just 3 either...
Vegas is not in the business of giving away free money...
To be a road favorite to Dallas is one thing but to Manning in his own hizzy..????
N.E. covers...

the pats are constructing new woodsheds every week (ask the skins how the no vaseline felt). they have got more hammers, nails, and woods than anyone else. i wouldn't bet agaisnt the mofo;s (even ATS) if my life depended on it. I am actually looking for an Alternative line of pats -14 if anyone is offering, i will take it at plus money with you. mission doesn't even come close to what these guys are on.

I think you would be nuts to bet against NE this year. If you jump on the free money band wagon now you will come out waaayyy ahead by year's end. Just my 0.02

I'm waiting a bit to watch the line movements and see where it falls. -6 and under is a play on the Pats for me, possibly take them at -7. Anything above that and I'll probably play on the colts. Can't see NE win by more than a TD in Indy.

I buried NE -5 today for 4K, I think this game will be a COMPLETE STOMPING, Manning at home, WHATEVER! This team was put together for 1 reason, to answer last years playoff loss. This is where Belichick reaps his rewards and gets home field for the playoffs. Indy has plenty of experience with NE, but NOT THIS NE TEAM! Indy will not win a shoot out by any stretch of the imagination. NE will roll by DD's. BOL to all!!

I am On the Colts
I am the only one around that thinks the Colts are still the better team. Colts have a better running game and I think their defense is better. I probably should have waited for the NE steam, but I took Indy +4.5. I think people are wrong when they compare this to Dallas. Dallas can't hold a candle to Indy. Give me the Colts, and I am sure the Colts are feeling disrespected here. Colts have played the tougher schedule, and who cares about blowing teams out, it matters just about getting Ws.

No way the Colts are better....they have shown weakness. The Pats are going to chew them up, and spit them out. I very much dislike the Pats, but I'm going to ride the train to $$. The Colts have no defensive answer for them, and I think the PATS are good enough to hang with Indy's offense.

Hope you kept it small, Brady's going to tear that secondary apart, and Peyton won't be able to match it on the other side. BOL

Well if you like the Colts, a ML play would be the way i'd go.

Line opened at 4 and is creeping up. If you like Colts, wait.
I don't see any value yet. If the game is close at halftime (and Pats backers are hedging their bets) that could change.

If line goes to NE -7 I will take the colts.. I think the best bet in this game is the OVER. This game should easily go over 56.
