Not having Bob Sanders is killin' their secondary (IE: Polamalu @ Pittsburgh), and not having Anthony Gonzalez is hurting Manning's slot option (Welker @ New England)... Injuries plaguing high-caliber teams this weekend including the Eagles and Chargers.

When I first took a look at the card for this game I immediately said in my head Indy easy, but realized that that's what the average person's perception is of the Colts and Fins right now, so I continued to dig deeper and was being convinced more and more to take Miami in this one as well... seeing your write-up + play added reassurance to it. However, what're your thoughts on who has the edge in terms of special teams coverage?

thx, box, was surprised to not see the saints in your pr, as i am a big saints fan, lol. gl.

saints are in purgatory for me, probably about #6/#7, and also fall into the overvalued list.

Offense has been great obviously, but it wont always be this good.

Not sold on the defense just yet, and not sold on the opponents they have beaten. McNabb-less Eagles and Lions.

Very nice start for the Saints, but the thing to be careful about is defense wins the big games not offense.

Next few games will give us a good feel for them.

Dolphins special teams suck. They keep rotating return men, they had a rookie in preseason they loved, but he kept fumbling. So they stuck Ginn back there again, and he doesnt know how to run north and south yet and make sharp cuts, so they stick Bess back there, but he dances too much.

Carpenter has been steady kicking field goals but he's only in his 2nd year and hasn't kicked any big kicks yet.

Their kick coverage was abysmal in preseason and everytime they kick off or punt you've got to wince.

I'd give the Colts the edge in special teams with Vinatieri and co. But it ain't comfy kicking at Landshark stadium like it is in a dome with the dirt on the infield.
