Patriots at Colts
PATRIOTS - The Indianapolis Colts are without Bob Sanders and Marlin Jackson and have two rookies starting at corner and now get to battle a New England Patriots team that is on fire lately.
The Colts are laying about 2 1/2 points, depending on where you’re playing this, and will fail to cover and be in a position to lose outright to the visiting Pats.
New England rolls into this game having gone 4-2 ATS its last 6 games and having destroyed its opponents the last two weeks, outscoring teams in that three-game stretch 121-24, or 40.3-8, on average.
The Colts, on the other hand, are lucky to still be undefeated as they’ve survived huge scares the last two weeks. Two weeks ago, down 14-9 at home against the San Francisco 49ers, the Colts needed 9 second-half points to pull off the win, but still failed to cover as a 13-point favorite.
Then last week, down 17-13 at home against the Texans, the Colts needed late heroics from Peyton Manning and Joseph Addai to pull out the 20-17 win, but again, failed to cover as a 7 1/2 point favorite.
The Patriots are miles ahead of the Texans and 49ers and are good enough to keep the Colts down if they have them in that position.
It’ll be a great game and one in which the Patriots will flirt with the outright win. Take the points and take New England on the road in this one.
Broncos at Redskins
BRONCOS - Sure the Denver Broncos have looked pretty bad the last couple of weeks, getting beat up 30-7 at the Baltimore Ravens then getting humiliated at home on Monday night 28-10 against the Steelers.
From 6-0 SU and ATS, the Broncos are now 6-2 SU and ATS, but will still get over easily on the road at the Redskins.
While the Broncos have had their share of struggles the last two weeks, at least they haven’t struggled all season long like the Redskins, who are just 2-6 SU this year and have covered in just one game.
The Redskins have lost four consecutive games SU and have failed to cover in three straight. During this three game non-cover streak the Redskins have lost by an average of 10.6 points per game, including last week’s 31-17 loss at Atlanta as a 9-point underdog.
Consider, too, the Redskins have not covered in any of their 4 home games this year. While Washington is 2-2 SU at home, those first two wins came against the then winless Rams and Buccaneers. But the last two home games have seen the Redskins lose by an average of 9 points per game.
Things aren’t getting any better today as the Broncos will hand Washington another home loss.
