These two teams have a history of putting quite a few points on the board when they face up against each other, and I don’t think it will be any different tonight. Don’t worry about the Colts missing Dallas Clark and Austin Collie, this offense has plugged numerous wide receivers into the mix since Manning has stepped in and each one seems to do pretty well. The Texans don’t offer much of a threat at all on defense, and the Colts are going to go for the kill after losing to Houston to open the season. Defensively the Colts can’t stop the ground game this season, and Arian Foster put up 231 yards on the Colts in week 1, and while he likely won’t get over 200, I think he still has a big game. The Texans can also throw the football, making them a very difficult matchup for the Colts.

The OVER is 7-1 in Texans last 8 games on fieldturf, and is 18-6-2 in Texans last 26 games following a ATS loss. The OVER is 9-4 in Colts last 13 Monday games, and 8-3 in Colts last 11 games following a bye week. -Steve Janus

Indianapolis Colts vs. Washington Redskins Point Spread & Prediction: October 17th 2010

October 17, 2010 By

The Colts travel to the nation’s capital to take on the Redskins in a Sunday night showcase at FedEx Field. Washington picked up a dramatic overtime win at home last week to hold off the Packers 16-13 despite being out-rushed 154 to 49. When you bet on NFL games, rushing dominance is a strong indicator of point spread success.

Yet the Redskins were able to overcome that negative discrepancy last week and both these teams are among the worst in the NFL running the football. Expect plenty of passing this week from a pair of veteran quarterbacks that can find their mark.

NFL Football Odds: Indianapolis Colts (-3) -120 vs. Washington Redskins (+3) +100: Over/Under 44

The Colts (3-2) scored their only touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter last week to win 19-9. If you bet on NFL games and Indianapolis last week, you picked up a fortunate point spread cover against KC. But late scores when needed are nothing new for Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who should have a big day against Washington’s #31 ranked pass defense.

Washington (3-2) has struggled in the running game as back-up castoff Ryan Torain has taken over as the starter with Clinton Portis out with a groin injury. The Colts are also banged up at running back although Joseph Addai is expected to start while nursing a sore shoulder.

Peyton Manning is averaging 322 passing yards per game and 7.4 yards per pass attempt.

With 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions in five games, Manning is the best bet on NFL quarterback in the league. Manning and the Colts trio of wide receivers and top tight end should have great success against the Redskins pass defense allowing 298 yards per game and 65 percent completions.

The Redskins have grappled with injuries and turnover on the offensive line throughout the season. A lack of cohesion has hurt the running game and quarterback Donovan McNabb will be under pressure while passing often against the Colts. Indianapolis has their own injury issues in the secondary, which is depleted at the safety position.

When you bet on NFL games it’s important to find match-ups that expose weakness and both these teams should attack through the air with secondary concerns.

Washington has beaten Dallas, Philadelphia and Green Bay this season, all as underdogs. But after allowing the Packers to pile up 427 yards offense last week (395 in regulation) at 6.9 yards per play, it appears they will have trouble controlling the leagues best passer and a Colts offense capable of moving the ball all day through the air.

NFL Insider Tip: Washington is allowing 298 passing yards per game. The Redskins allowed 282 passing yards to Tony Romo, 497 passing yards to Matt Schaub and 293 passing yards to Aaron Rogers. Now they face the NFL’s most precise and best passer Peyton Manning and Redskins opponents are passing 65 percent of the time against Washington. Colts games have gone ‘over’ the total in seven of their last nine regular season contests.

Though the ‘under’ has cashed in 13 of Washington’s L/18 home games, this year’s stop unit is hardly formidable. The bet on NFL move to make in this Sunday Night thriller is on the over as both Manning and McNabb light up the D.C sky!

Indianapolis Colts vs. Washington Redskins Pick: October 17th 2010

Pick: Indianapolis Colts -3

Washington comes into this matchup after experiencing 2 tough road battles with Philadelphia and Green Bay. The Redskins return home a tired squad. They rank 24th in PPG (17.8) and 25th in Rush YPG (88.6). QB Donovan McNabb is still a threat, but only with his arm. He is not the rusher he once was. RB Clinton Portis is out and outside of WR Santana Moss, the ‘Skins are lacking in their receiving corps. On the defensive side, Washington is ranked 30th against the pass, giving up 298 YPG in the air. They must face Peyton Manning and the 3rd ranked scoring offense in the NFL. Manning did not throw either for 300 YP or a TD last week in the squads victory over KC. A bad game is rare for the QB, let alone 2 in a row. QB Matt Schaub threw for 497 yards and 3 TDs against the Redskins a month ago. Indianapolis will have RB Addai and WR Garcon in the lineup to add to the vast offensive arsenal. LB Clint Session is also back and healthy. A spent Washington team is due for a letdown while the Colts gallop. Washington is 5-12 ATS their L17 games played at home and 0-4-1 ATS their L5 games played in week 6. Indianapolis is 11-4-1 ATS their L16 games played on the road and 7-1-1 ATS their L9 vs. teams with a winning record. Take Indy. Thank you. -Joseph D’Amico

Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 12th, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Reliant Stadium, Houston, TX
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Indianapolis Colts (-2) -110 vs. Houston Texans (+2) -110: Over/Under 47

Is it already too early to use the term “biggest game in the history of the Houston Texans?” This is clearly a make or break year for the franchise, as Gary Kubiak knows that he has to make the playoffs or his time in the Lone Star State is probably over. For that to happen, games like this are ones that his team simply has to win.

It’s all starting to fall in line for the Texans. Their secondary, one of the key weaknesses for them in recent years, looks shored up with rookie Kareem Jackson taking over for the previously disgruntled Dunta Robinson, and Arian

Foster looks like a keeper at running back. We already know that this front seven for Houston is incredible in spite of the fact that Brian Cushing has been suspended for the opening month of the season, and the passing combination of Matt Schaub to Owen Daniels and Andre Johnson is fantastic.

For the Colts, there are still some questions to be answered, namely about the defense. Still, it’s the offense we’re focusing in on right now, as Peyton Manning and new offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen need to get on the same page in a hurry, or this season could start off poorly.

Houston has only beaten Indy once in its franchise’s history, but just as there is a first time for everything, there’s a second time for everything as well.

Baltimore Ravens vs. New York Jets
Game Date/Time: Monday, September 13th, 7:00 ET
Game Location: New Meadowlands Stadium, East Rutherford, NY
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Baltimore Ravens (+2.5) -110 vs. New York Jets (-2.5) -110: Over/Under 36.5

This is a short and sweet explanation. The Ravens might be the best team in the NFL this year in spite of the fact that they are dealing with a number of defensive injuries. The idea of sending Ray Lewis up against Mark Sanchez just doesn’t seem fair on paper for the hosts. Pair that with the possibility of Haloti Ngata and Terrence Cody accidentally eating Shonn Greene as an appetizer, and that’s two main cogs gone standing in the way of victory.

On the other side of the ball, Baltimore’s offense knows what Rex Ryan’s defense is going to do after watching it for years in practice. Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, Willis McGahee, Derrick Mason, and Anquan Boldin just make too strong of a combination to be beaten.

Take the Ravens and Texans in our Rabid Dawg Parlay to cash in with football betting parlay odds of roughly 4.75 to 1!

NFL Week 3 Preseason Super Teaser Prediction: August 26th 2010

August 26, 2010 By

Teasing preseason games in the NFL is always a great way to get an edge on the oddsmakers if a line is tight. They don’t get any tighter than in the preseason, so we are set to take advantage. Check out our super NFL teaser of the week for the third week of the preseason.

St. Louis Rams vs. New England Patriots
Game Date/Time: Thursday, August 26th, 7:30 ET
Game Location: Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA
TV/Radio Broadcast: Local TV, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: St. Louis Rams (+7.5) -110 vs. New England Patriots (-7.5) -110: Over/Under 37.5

Simply put, catching 17.5 points in the preseason is nuts. Are the Rams going to be able to compete with the Patriots in the first two quarters of this NFL betting battle on Thursday night? Probably not. However, if they can stick within a TD, they are almost certainly going to be golden going into the second half. This is a huge game for Sam Bradford, as he looks to build some confidence against the best in the NFL. The Pats have played well in the preseason thus far, but we tend to believe that getting this many points is too good an opportunity to overlook.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Green Bay Packers
Game Date/Time: Thursday, August 26th, 8:00 ET
Game Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Indianapolis Colts (+3.5) -110 vs. Green Bay Packers (-3.5) -110: Over/Under 44.5

What a lofty ‘total’ this is! One must remember that this is still the preseason and that the starters are still only going to play a half of football at best. Indianapolis is still a team that really could care less whether it wins or loses its exhibitions, and quite often, it plays an awfully vanilla game just to survive without any injuries. Green Bay’s defense should be up to the challenge of facing Peyton Manning and one of the highest flying offenses in the league. There’s no way the ‘total’ should be this high, and taking it up ten more points almost isn’t fair

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Game Date/Time: Saturday, August 28th, 7:30 ET
Game Location: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa Bay, FL
TV/Radio Broadcast: Local TV, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Jacksonville Jaguars (-2.5) -110 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+2.5) -110: Over/Under 36.5

If the Jags don’t find a way to win at least the first half of this game on Saturday night, they have a lot of problems. Tampa Bay is going to be without Josh Freeman, meaning it’ll be up to Josh Johnson and Rudy Carpenter to carry the load for the Bucs’ offense. David Garrard and Luke McCown both have something to prove, as both have the ability to lead this team to a number of scores. Jacksonville gave up last week and conceded a one point loss instead of trying to tie the game, which blew any chances of the cover. We’ll have plenty of leeway this week catching over a touchdown.
