Ind -2 @ Gb.

I might put a chunk of change on IND -2 in this game.

While Indy has had limited success gaining big yardage on the ground, their air attack has been decent. The Colts have 2 road wins already where they were small favorites.

Green Bay is sitting 3-3 but 2 wins came against DET and SEA, two of the worst teams in the NFL! Green Bay's scoring margin at home is roughly -2.33.

Against +.500 teams GB is 0-3 ATS.

Can someone give me a reason NOT to take Indy here?

I think the world yelled out, "Indy is back!" after the last game but I'm not convinced and now Addai is probably out.
I put some of my own rankings together this season where I try not to overcompensate for one big win, or loss and went into the week with GB -1 so getting +2 at home looked like a go to me.

GL either way though.

I agree that people are going with that "INDY IS BACK" Mentality, but that's not what I base this pick on. I just think Green Bay is overrated.

I think this is a good play also.......Peyton didn't play at all pre-season.....it takes awhile to get back right.....I think Green Bay got alittle carried away with the "new Farve".......he's good.....but I think Peyton and his boys will win at least by a touchdown....even in Green Bay........

tough call

i was leaning towards indy for all the reasons u guys stated,but....the pack is due to show up at home,2 straight losses and barely scrape by the vikes...lambeau will be rioting if the pack doesnt show up again...could go either way dont think its a heavy play either way

I'm still not sold on Indy and Green Bay is getting healthier. I'd lean with GB, but Indy will win if it is a blowout - depending on the line movement I may take a shot on GB but if the line goes down I stay away because I can see GB winning outright.

Don't forget that even though the Colts have lost Addai, they still have Rhodes. No one is expecting him to run all over the GB defense but all he needs to do is run between the tackles and set up the play action where Peyton kills all. Also Colts should be getting Hagler and Lilja back after spending six weeks on the PUP list.

I am a Colts fan, but don't call me out for a homer. I think that the Texans game was exactly what the Colts needed to get their mojo back and they are clicking right now. If the Colts get a lead early, expect their defense to attack and put this game away. I'm seeing a Colts victory here, but it will hard earned. GL to all.

The more I look at this game, the more I'll probably avoid it.
My numbers point to GB but it wouldn't shock me to see them lose either.

GL though.
