Indy are a 3pt favourite but this looks a tough one to call and I have no opinion on the game. Anybody got a strong fancy for either of the teams? Please post if you have and state reasons why. Views welcome from EVERYONE and no criticism from me after the event, Win, Lose or Draw.

I think the Jags D is underrated personally but the offense cant keep them off the field which is hitting them hard in the second half particularly with MJD missing. The Jags have had a pretty torrid schedule as well.
Also the Colts have been pretty poor away this season. the pressure is on Luck now as they actually have a legitimate shot at the playoffs so will be interesting to see how this affects him with all the media surrounding him as well. Jags also beat Indy earlier in the season but MJD ran for 170 yards that day tough game to call as any Jags game is but I quite like the Jags to win the first half and also Jags/Indy on the HT/FT markets Not a game to play big though imo |

I'm not buying that this could be a shock, i'll give you that the colts play significantly poorer on the road than at home, but Luck is playing beyond his years, and I just think at the moment their riding a wave of momentum they have driven up. Add into that the whole team has to be inspired by the circumstances surrounding Chuck, I think the colts take this.
Every colts game, apart from the bears and jets where they got beat comfortably, has been a one possession score. And given that this jags d is underrated they could keep it close, but like d13 says, they don't seem to be able to stay on the field on offense. In what could turn out to be a close game, id rather have my money riding on Luck than Gabbert and that Jags offence. |

Colts will win this by 7+. Very confident. Watched the entire Jax games against Lions and Raiders. Zero offence.

Had the makings of a decent drive until it got to the business end. Surprised Scobie missed that FG - could be a long night for the Jags
Pick taken away as well |
|
By:
Yes I have backed the bulls at 11/5
|
|
By:
scobie doesnt usually miss but after last weekend it is no surprise with the amount of missed fgs..it must be catching
|
|
By:
No way was that a touchdown. Everything that could of gone wrong for the jags has
|
|
By:
Things go wrong for the jags most weeks as they are **** and by far the worst team in the league...
|

By:
you reckon harold..watch and learn
|

Only kansas could be as bad....
come on you chicago bulls..up by 6 with a quarter left...can they hang on  |
|
By:
my choice of starting shorts this week has proved inspired :D
|

By:
I am at full strength at receiver this week....question is cutler of fitzpatrick

By:
bollox that 6point lead wiped out and now trail by 2

By:
Gabbert going off injured is a stroke of luck for the jags
|
|
By:
actually Shorts has come up with a pretty good night :D

d13phe, sudoko-junior and swardean : Brilliant call there guys, especially swardean who was supremely confident. I owe you all a drink. Cheers.

Why is d13 getting so much credit..he said it was a hard game to call and went for the jags to win the 1st half and a tough game to call
 |
|
By:
yeah dont give me credit ffs I lost my bet
 |
|
By:
Swardean is always the best one to call these no hoper games.
He does support the Seahawks after all  |
|
By:
It was a shocker of a match to be fair...another poor Thursday night game...3 of the 4 televised games coming up make up for it.
|
|
By:
what have we got Harry?
I agree the thursday night games have been terrible. |
|
By:
Well apart from the steelers home to kansas which WILL be a complete thrashing....sunday we have saints v falcons...cowboys v eagles usually a good game and then the texans v bears
|
|
By:
ah right
thought you meant the next 3 thursdays yes they are good games. why are Kansas always on? |
|
By:
eagles season will be over after sunday..expect dallas to win easily to be honest..the dallas D has been playing well and vick is in for another torrid time....imagine other QBs coping without 3 of the starting linemen.
I see the falcons being too strong all round for the saints....texans v the bears is a hard one to call..I guess the weather could be an advantage for chicago...I hope chicago win this one but i see it being very tight as I can see cutler having a nightmare..dont see schaub having much of a game either. May get involved during the match but no bet before hand. |

By:
miami v bills
houston v detroit atlanta v saints next few thursday games so they are improving each week |
|
By:
signed the Dallas D for my fantasy this week
the cards have a tough run in |
|
By:
Snap as arizone are on a bye
|
|
By:
i have a feeling that the Falcons are going to get a Saints whooping.
The Falcons are due one. Having watched nearly all their games, I know they are 8-0 but they arent that good. |
|
By:
i just ditched the cards
they are done for the season and will no doubt want a decent draft pick |
|
By:
I lost by 2pts this week but the redskins were not given a blocked punt..so got a tie.
|
|
By:
I kept them as they get so many sacks...not checked other teams such as the bears ravens etc but arizona have never been in minus pts
|
|
By:
but dallas were the best D available so had to snap them up,,,you can see ware getting a few sacks at least...dallas are favs i see
struggling at RB with jones drew out..basically playing with one back |
|
By:
Where are you in the league standings?
|
|
By:
just picked up james casey at running back
|
|
By:
1st with a 8-1 season so far
think i might lose this week tbh have been fairly lucky with my schedule. scored high against the better teams and played the poorer teams at the right time. also picked up a few that will come back from injuries for the playoffs like amendola and Mendenhall |

Nice to see this thread generated as much interest as the game itself. I couldn't believe the empty seats around the stadium last night.
The Jags unfortunately just seem to be a stagnant franchise, with little hope of going anywhere fast. Their defense is definitely not the worst but on the offensive side of the ball they are dreadful. Take MJD out they have no playmakers on offense and bare in mind their first round picks gabbert and blackmon have failed so far to show they can perform at this level. This is a franchise which was dying out for Tebow time when he became available, i know they tried to make a move for him,and i dont know the ins and outs of the deal but i think their will be a few people in the jags organization who wish they had tried a little bit harder. I'm not saying tebow would have led them to the superbowl (I have backed them) but i think he would have gone a long way to save this franchise. |
