No mirages or smoke screens about these two, and to a point, have played up to expectations. Both have put in disappointing games this Year and looking for excuses or reasons could give a false impression. Last Year Indianapolis played their only flat game of the season in defeat to Denver and then took advantage of Denvers weaknesses in the Play-offs. Although Denver players talk of the humiliation and others talk of a revenge factor, it has to be remembered, no motivation is needed this time of the Year.

What was taken out of that game was the realisation to Shanahan that to progress any further, he had to get a good secondary at all costs. That cost of course was Clinton Portis. I was not surprised at the trade, as I have always believed Shanahan was never sold on Portis, but would have had to twist many arms to get his way. Shanahan got his top CB and added John Lynch to a budding secondary. Although they lost Berry, it’s not easy to know how much with the absence of Pryce through injury. So, this is the litmus test, are all Shanahans plans going to come good.

The Colts high scoring this Year has once again, made people forget about their desperate Defense and even for some to say it’s improved. They are awful against the run, looking particularly bad lately against Baltimore and Houston. Denver will have no trouble running, so to me, it all comes back to the secondary stopping The Colts, if they do that, they win. I am optimistic that they can be successful, a lot will depend on the fitness of Pryce, but now that he has had his wishes, you can be sure Shanahan has played this game a thousand times in his head. The 10pt spread seems way too high, so it’s M/L for me, covering the stake with the spread.

Like The Rams game yesterday, I haven’t a clue of the outcome in the Green Bay game. All I can say is lately, for sporting, interest bets, I rely on the two Dogs next door. If I see the Alsatian first, it’s a home win, Terrier, road. The Alsatian is sitting out there now.
