NFL Football Odds

This is an interesting matchup for a number of reasons, not the least of which it’s one of the rare occasions in the NFL where fans will see horse-on-horse action.  This equine-infused contest will be a chance for Peyton Manning and his men to set an NFL mark for most consecutive regular season wins at 22.

And by all accounts, there’s no reason why Indy won’t hold this NFL football odds mark by the time the final whistle blows. Two months ago this might have been a very interesting NFL odds matchup. The Broncos and Colts were both undefeated at 5-0, but the football odds landscape has gone through quite a transition since then.

Denver has been exposed as a resourceful but mediocre squad.  And Indy has proven time and time again that its 12-0 record is no fluke. The home dawgs are 7 ½ point favorites and it’s hard to argue with the points.  Manning has proven over the past three months that there is not a defense in the NFL that can stop his offense.  Blitz him and his hot receiver will pick up the first down.  Give him time and your secondary will be picked apart like a Christmas Turkey carcass.

A team’s only chance against Indy is to play possession football with a pounding running game.  Denver cannot do this. The Broncos are also vulnerable when QB Kyle Orton is pressured and that is the Colts specialty. Indy will make NFL history and snatch is 13th win of the year while a Denver loss will make things even more interesting in an already very interesting AFC wild card scramble.
