Colts favored over Seahawks?

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

I am seeing -1 to -3 this morning. That is surprising. Our wunderkind has already had two bad games. He had better be on it Sunday.

Tough stretch. Seattle, San Diego there, Peyton and then at the Texans. Pretty much the make or break part of our season.

Our second east coast early start game in a row. This is a game I could see us losing. I hope not, but I won't be shocked if we get our first L here.

But at the same time, Indy's lines are no way as good as Texans are at this point, so I believe we'll be able to put a lot of pressure on Luck.

but IMO, Luck is a much better QB than Schaub so I think it is a wash

should be a great game

It is almost funny how high expectations are for Luck now. If he throws a couple of bad passes and they go three and out, everyone is almost shocked. He does seem hurried a lot. Another year with a makeshift line. We have a couple of kids that are likely to fill in nicely with some experience though.

To me, the key will be how Bradshaw (if he plays) and Richardson run the ball. If they cannot, there will be a lot of pressure on Luck.

I'm seeing Seahawks -2.5/-3 on Vegas Insider at all of their books. Where are you seeing them as underdogs?

Just checked. All I can say is that I had not had my first cup of coffee yet when I posted this.

I'd be ok with being the underdog in this one. Indy is a capable team with a good record, playing at home out east at the early start time that always messes with the Hawks. Add to that we'll still be without 3 out of 5 OLineman and I wouldn't be surprised to see us as a 5 point dog.

One thing these teams have in common??

They both mutilated the 49ers....

Still celebrating, eh? You are gonna wish you had Manning and his mutilated neck after this game vs Seattle.

I remember you 49er fans saying the same thing previously to playing the Colts.....lol

Sorry to inform you but that wasn't the Super Bowl. We've got a long way to go so I'd suggest you relax. Good luck the rest of the way.

Don't spend all week leading up to a game feeling superior with your garbage trash-talking if you don't want to eat crow the following week. And I'm not specifically pointing you out, just your over confident fanbase that isn't used to success.

He's a 9ers fan, don't lump us Hawks fans in with that rabble. No one in our camp thinks this one is a gimme and a lot of us wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if we're handed our first L of the season this Sunday. I hope not but there it is.

I figured we would lose either the game at Houston or at Indy and since we won last week...

I am confident the Hawks can win this week too, but it will be another hard fought road game.

Ha! You're a funny one aren't ya, Tundra? You can stop pretending your fan base doesn't have it's share of lunatics. :rollseyes:

Nonsense!

Level-headed objective football discussion, sportsmanship and respect are the pillars of the 12th man!

Unless you root for Krapadick and the 69ers, screw those guys.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Regardless of the apparent controversy about which team is in fact favored, the Colts win at SF a couple of weeks ago might be the most impressive win by any team in the league this season. Definitely agree that their ability to run against Seattle figures to be a key and that their schedule gets very tough, beginning this week.

En garde!

 

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

I am not so foolish as to predict a win for the Colts. But I think a real key for us is to start out well. If the Seahawks break out fast and ahead, we might be in trouble. The longer things stay competitive, the more I believe it favors the home team. And we have to run the ball. Dropping back and passing 50 times against those corners is not exactly an ideal scenario for us.

I could have seen you losing your first one too.
