Don't bet it Spleen. It is just like with the Steelers last night. Play the o/u instead if you can't play the Jags.

road favorite, public team, facing a team motivated to play a national game

There's probably too much hype on JAX right now for the line to move (i'd love 3.5). fwiw all anyone can seem to talk about is the "toughness" of the Jaguars and their run game. I haven't really heard anything about Indy (other than Clark maybe?).

n2p · #8 10-22-2007, 02:05 PM

you can get +3.5 now on bodog

And actually the more I look at this game the more I like Indy at -3. Even against THE Peyton Manning, JAX feels like a BSP.

"I tell you what Bob, that maw-reece drew feller and fred taylor sure are tough runners. They gonna pound it on Indy all game long. And that Jaguars D? Whoooo----eeeee yessir they sure are tough... too tough for them Colts."

They're getting 154 rushing yards per game but 26, 35, 47, 34, and 18 (against Tennessee), attempts per game. It's not like they are the running equivalent of the Patriot's passing game. They're probably around 4.8 YPC which is really good but they have faced KC, Houston, Atlanta, and Denver, all of whom have worse rushing defenses than Indianapolis.

I think it comes down to whether or not Indy gets on the board early. If they do and JAX has to abandon the running game, they're SOL. The only way for JAX to stay in the game is to not let Indy get a lead, which will be hard because JAX's pass D is middle of the road.

I haven't decided either way yet for sure (may depend on line moves), but I think at -3 I'll be taking Indy.

Bored at work, thought I'd throw this out there.

what makes you a donk if you bet Indy? Indy's offense trumps Jax's offense and defenses are about even. As long as Indy can stop the run, they should cover no problem.
