NFL Pick Of The Day – Patriots @ Colts – Who Covers The Spread
FiveStarPick.com continues on a solid winning run tonight as we give our members the winner tonight’s Sunday Night Football game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. Las Vegas sportsbooks have listed the Colts as 6-point favorites with the total set at 44.
Indianapolis (3-4 Straight Up, 2-4-1 Against The Spread) got their ass handed to them last week by Tennessee on Monday Night Football (A FiveStarPick Win). Indianapolis was up 14-6 lead late in the third quarter, but turnovers and two questionable fourth-down calls cost them the game. The Titans were able to score 25 unanswered points in the 4th quarter cahsing the over (Another FiveStarPick win) and improving the Titans to 7-0. Manning threw for 223 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs. The Colts have now lost 2 straight to the Titans and it’s the second straight time they given up 30-plus points. The only bright side for Indy today is the retrun of RB Joseph Addai to the lineup. Addai missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury which plummeted the Colts rushing attack to a league-worst 73.4 YPG. WR Reggie Wayne (knee), SS Bob Sanders (ankle/knee) and DB Kelvin Hayden (knee/hamstring) are all listed as ‘questionable’ for tonight’s game.
While the Colts have been getting hammered, the Patriots (5-2 SU, 3-4 ATS) are starting to look much better. New England beat the Rams last Sunday 23-16, but failed to cover as an 8.5-point favorites. QB Matt Cassell connected on a 15-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Faulk late in the fourth quarter to pull out the W. Cassel finished the game with 250 passing yards, but was picked off twice and sacked three times. New England’s running game has been plagued with injuries. The Pats only put up 98 yards on 29 carries last week against the Rams.
Now let’s talk trends…The Patriots are 2-1 SU and ATS on the road this year. The under was also 2-1 in those games. Indy has won 3 of the last 4 meetings against the Patriots and covered all 4. The Colts/Over combination hasn’t cashed all year…it might be overdue.

Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner. Here is a bit of advice…NOTHING is guaranteed when you are betting on sports. These so called “handicappers” call 500 people on a Saturday morning and give them all a free play; 250 people will get the Colts -6 and 250 will get the Pats +6. After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars to their credit cards for more guaranteed winners. We are not your typical sports handicapping service. We care about our members and we live and die on every play. Why? Because we are moving thousands of dollars of our own money on the same plays we give you. Gambling on sports is how we make our living. Do we win every play? Absolutely not and we will never pretend to. Our plays are always posted for all to see, including our losing streaks. But by the end of the year we always seem to have a few hundred thousand dollars of the sportsbook’s money in our casino account. Let us try and do the same for you.
