Colts vs. Patriots

[vansmack]

I think this is a game you just don't bet on.  It makes just as little sense to bet against the Patriots to cover a spread as it does to not take the Colts and 5 points at home.
 
 I'm just going to sit back and enjoy what I hope to be a great game and laugh at the rest of the folks in the Bay Area who have to watch the Raider game.  Can you believe Raider fans are rooting against a sell out?

if you must bet, i'd probably just bet the over.

Margin of victory of Patriots road games this year: 24, 21, 21, 21.
 
 They are like Sherman marching through the South.  I would take the Pats and give the 5 all day long.  Any takers?  Hurwitz.....?

Vs. Jets (1-7)
 Vs. Bengals (2-5)
 Vs. Cowboys (6-1)
 Vs. Dolphins (0-8)
 
 Only the Cowboys were worthy opponents, and I don't think they could beat Indy.

how many wins do those teams have? take out dallas and the answer is 3. granted the dallas win is quite impressive, assigning historical significance at week 8 is foolish. just ask the 2005 colts, or the 15-1 2004 steelers, the randall cunningham vikes...
 
 smackie beat me dammit

I try not to meet the parents on the first date, but OK, I'll talk to him.

i saw that the bay gets the raiders. if anything i need to temper my interest in sports, not add wagering to enhance it

Speaking of which...and the Colts, who's excited about a Jeff George comeback?
 
  Give George a chance!

Why am I not surprised that your football idol is, arguably, the biggest douchebag the NFL has ever seen.

But you forgot  incredibly talented.  He may have been a douchebag (I don't think so) but he was an incredibly talented douchebag.
 
 You can borrow one of mine, DeathFromAbove1979.  I almost have his entire set.  I don't think I have a Jeff George Seattle Seahawks jersey.

Tough to disagree with that.  Only Ryan Leaf was better at being a douchebag than Jeff Goerge.
