i know that the colts defense has almost completely come together (11 points a game ain't bad!), but i still see this game as
THE best defense in the league (Tampa Bay)
v.
ARGUEABLY one of the best offenses in the league(Indy)
Traditionaly, and please correct me if i'm wrong, but the #1 defense v. the #1 offense traditionaly results in a big advantage towards the defense.(TB)
The kicker for me is that the colts have been mediocre AT BEST on the ground this year and the Bucs haven't given up a single passing touchdown all year.
I think that the colts early on try to establish some form of running game(which they MUST do to win this football game), and then after that doesn't work, i think that there is a chance that the Bucs defense can score more than the colts offense. and if there is one Manning weakness it is his tendancy to fold(especialy on mon. night) in a BIG GAME. Does anybody remember INDY/PITT. on mon. night last year(Maddox breakout game)?

TB -4 1/2 (4 units)
Anyway, that's my thoughts on tonight; input, disagreement, comments are ALWAYS WELCOME.
