colts battlefield report and helpful info hopefully

[neverteaseit]

frist off the edge (james) is in miami, with him there then his season is likely done. team is only saying out 3 weeks but likely season.

back up running back rhodes seperated his shoulder on sunday.

off. lineman steve mckinney is out. one of the colts best pass blockers.

mike peterson is out. perhaps the colts best defensive player.


manning has a hairline fracture of his jaw. will play with his mouth either wired or a temporary retainer this week and this is critical. manning lives with the audible and the no huddle. his ability to communicate will likely put the colts in a more conservative offensive mode. thus less points scored. look for the colts to try and control the ball this week and run as much as possible. even with the injuries at running back. this week will look like a nice under for the colts.

with all the injuries the colts coaching staff may not want to risk injury to manning. he maybe pulled this week early. thus here comes mark rypien. yikes.

colts should be a great fade this week, but i believe the under will be the play which seems much safer with the injuries and possible changes in offensive scheme.

no total has been posted yet but it should be around 43'- 45 points anything above 41 should still be an excellent play imo.

Neverteaseit: From your facts the opposite conclusion can be arrived at. Indy has no running game so Manning will pass all day long-leading to higher scoring game.

I like what you mentioned about the no huddle. Will the fact that his jaw is wired actually affect his ability to call plays? I agree that his use of the no huddle is a big weapon for Indy. Will the wired jaw stop the no huddle? I don't know.

I like NO in this game. That's the way I'm going. There are some teams that I would never bet Under. Indy is one of those. I would either bet Over or pass the game.
