Add 3 points for home-field and that line says the Colts are +7.5 on a neutral field. That's a big spread for a 6-5 team against anyone.

4.5 points seems just about right!


Walk Worthy,

Miami defense?

Walk Worthy,

Yes, and I also watched us beat TEN by 28 points (and TEN did not have a poorly ranked defense at the time - if I recall correctly they were 2nd or 3rd overall, and even now are 10th according to ESPN after beat downs by the Colts and HOU).

I'll add that our average margin of victory, even after last week's narrow escape over Miami, is over 15 points. Not to mention the fact that JAX is 3-8, and is changing QBs and their central RB will be out unless the suspension is overturned.

All I'm saying is that I'm surprised we aren't something like 7 point favorites under these circumstances.

You can't just cherry-pick the wins. On average, the Colts have scored about 4 more ppg than their opponents this season. Given that the game is on the road to a team the Colts only beat by 3 a few weeks ago, -4 is completely reasonable.

I think he meant Miami defense, not Tennessee.
