Colts Betting

For sports fans, Super Bowl Sunday is one of the best days of the year. For bettors, it can be not only entertaining, but profitable as well. This year’s Super Bowl predictably pitted the New Orleans Saints against the Indianapolis Colts. Through 14 weeks of the NFL season, these two teams combined for an unconscious 26-0 record, before both teams clinched home field advantage for the playoffs and rested their starters.

The best 2 teams made the Super Bowl. Two months ago this was the match up that everyone wanted, then people started to talk about San Diego, Dallas, Baltimore or whatever team played one good game. The same people that said that the Colts wouldn’t recover from resting Peyton Manning are the same ones that are saying the Colts can’t lose this week.

Maybe it’s time give the Jets a little credit and start to take them seriously or maybe not. This team is made up of a bunch of no name players, with a rookie quarterback, rookie coach, and one great corner back. It just goes to show you how important coaching is in football.

We expected Baltimore to have a shot to win that game last week, but to totally dominate the Patriots the way they did, was a surprise. Baltimore looked like a team that is ready to make a serious run at the Super bowl. They run the ball extremely well

With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years

Both of these teams played games last week that will define their regular season. The Colts showed that they will be the Super bowl favorite come January, and the Jets blew one that might cost them the playoffs

This is the time of year when you must be very careful, because some teams are resting players, others are hungry, and some are just playing for their jobs. Each game must be analyzed separately, because each team takes a different view on when to rest their players. The coach of the Colts says that all healthy players will play in this game, and since 16-0 is still on the line that is probably true

The Broncos have been very tough to figure out all year. In the pre season they looked like the worst team in football, then got off to a 6-0 start, then lost 4 straight. 2 weeks ago they destroyed the Giants and last week killed the Chiefs. The Colts did what they always do and that's win

Houston played Indianapolis very tough a few weeks ago and almost beat them 20-17. The reason for that is because they can rush the passer, and that is the recipe to beat Peyton Manning, as Baltimore demonstrated last week. Houston didn’t play that great against Tennessee

Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999

Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,

Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship

Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance

At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move

This is an interesting matchup. At first look you might ask how the Ravens are favored in this game, but when you look more closely at it, you will see why. If there is any defense that can possibly stop Peyton Manning, it would be Baltimore. The Colts are coming off of a really big win and might be a little flat. The Ravens were embarrassed

For the last few years these 2 teams have been locking horns with the winner of this game having a real good shot to go all the way. On occasion one of these teams comes in undefeated. This year it's no different, it’s Indianapolis' turn to be the undefeated team.

Houston is starting to play like the team that I thought they would be before the season. They have won 3 straight against 3 pretty good teams. The Colts are 7-0, like they seem to be every year. The early (smart) money has knocked the line down from

The 49ers almost went into Houston and won last week, and except for the bad game they played against Atlanta they have been in every game this year. Indy is starting to look like the Colts of a few years ago. There was a rumor about a flu outbreak on the Colts last week

We are going to start this week with our weekly teaser. We told you last week we guaranteed either a win, or something very memorable or shocking happening. After Pittsburgh-1, Green Bay-.5 and Patriots+3.5 covered extremely easily, the Giants +16 couldn’t keep it close at New Orleans. Shocking!

The Colts have been clicking on all cylinders as of late, and the Titans have not (to say the least). The reason this game was scheduled on Sunday night football before the season

At the time of the writing of this column, there was no line on the Seahawk-Colt game. The reason for this is the questionable status of Seahawk Quarterback Matt Hassellbeck. With Hasselbeck, Seattle is a competitive team

Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat” offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers

We love to tease the Sunday and Monday Night games, because they are usually very close and exciting games and we feel very comfortable adding 13 points to either team.

This game scares me, not only as a Giant fan but as a bettor. This is a trap game for the Giants. After 2 huge wins against division rivals, Dallas and Washington, they now play 3 games in a row versus bad teams

The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.

The Monday night game completes the last part of our 4 team , 13 point teaser. The Colts looked shaky in beating the Jags last week while the Dolphins looked awful in losing to the Falcons.

Usually Frankie is a contrarian, and he has very different views from the main stream losers, who say they are experts in this field. This time however, we do agree with many people who say this will be a down year for the Colts.

Not much has stayed the same from last year’s Indianapolis Colts, who finished 12-5 (7-9 AGAINST THE SPREAD), losing in the AFC Wildcard game to San Diego.

Probably the most well known handicapping angle is the “Monday Night Home Underdog.”

Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.

Bettors no longer have to look at mere sides and/or game totals to strike it rich as mostly all the online sports books (and many Las Vegas) outlets provide first and second half wagering lines along with quarter by quarter prices too on football betting.
