NFL Sunday Night Football Pick – Colts @ Titans – Who Covers The Spread

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

The pros at FiveStarPick.com had a monster Saturday in College Football going 6-2 against the spread for our members.  Tonight we are focused on the Sunday Night Football Game featuring the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Colts as 3.5-point road favorites with a total of 44.5.

The Titans opened the season with a road loss in Pittsburgh, 13-10.  They had every chance to win that game, but even though it was the first game of the season, it set the tone for the weeks to follow.  Since that loss, they’ve been beaten by the Texans, Jets and Jaguars and now find themselves in a position they haven’t seen in a while…an 0-4 start.

Injuries have taken their toll on the Titans’ secondary. Safety Vincent Fuller is out until November and cornerbacks Cortland Finnegan and Nick Harper are both listed as questionable for tonight’s game. Those injuries might be the reason why the Titans went from giving up 199.8 passing yards per game last season to a league worst 282.3 YPG so far in 2009.  Then take away Albert Hainesworth and you have yourself an issue.

It is going to be a tough task to stop Indy (4-0 SU, 3-0 against the spread). The Colts are sixth in scoring offense (26.5 points per game) and lead the league in passing offense (334.0 YPG).  Stats like those make you figure out reall quick why Manning leads the league with a 114.5 QB rating.  And he doesn’t have Marvin Harrison or Anthony Gonzalez as targets.  Dallas Clark, Pierre Garcon (10 receptions, 207 yards, 2 TD) and Austin Collie (12 receptions, 131 yards, 1 TD) are picking up the slack for the Colts in a big way.  The Colts’ have scored 11 touchdowns in their last three games.

Indianapolis has dominated this series with a 7-3 SU mark, but they’re just 5-5 against the spread. The Titans have gone 5-1 against the spread in the last six meetings.

Monday Night Football Picks – Colts @ Dolphins – Who Covers The Spread

Monday, September 21st, 2009

The pros at FiveStarPick.com are coming off a sizzling weekend of college and pro football as we have given our members winners in 10 of our last 12 picks against the spread.  Tonight will be no different as we handicap the Monday Night Football matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Miami Dolphins.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Colts as 3-point road favorites with a total of 42. 

The Colts didn’t look great in their 14-12 victory over the Jaguars last Sunday but they did get head a win. Peyton Manning was efficient (28-of-38 for 301 yards) and Wide receiver Reggie Wayne (10 catches, 162 yards) became the main option for Manning after Anthony Gonzalez went down early with a knee injury early in the game.  Gonzalez could miss up to eight weeks, so the Colts signed WR Hank Baskett who was cut by the Eagles last week.  Jacksonville lost at 31-17 at home on Sunday to Arizona, so it’s hard to tell if the Colts’ defense is any good, especially without the duties of safety Bob Sanders.

Miami looked like shit last week on the road in Atlanta and lost 19-7 . The Dolphins’ offense (259 yards) struggled from the start and they failed to convert on third downs (4-of-11) all game long.  Plus, the Fins had four costly turnovers. Defensively, the Dolphins were great against the run (68 yards) but QB Matt Ryan (229 yards, 2 TDs) crushed the Fins secondary.

The Dolphins’ secondary will be on the ropes again this week as Peyton Manning tests rookiesVontae Davis and Sean Smith.  Even though Manning will be shorthanded without the crafty Gonzalez, tight end Dallas Clark could roam the middle freely like the Falcons’ Tony Gonzalez (5 catches, 73 yards) did last Sunday.

Indianapolis went 6-3 SU on the road last year but was only 2-3-1 ATS as a road favorite.

So who covers the spread in tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup?  It’s very easy to find out.  Try FiveStarPick.com tonight for just ($19.99) and see if our talent for picking college and pro football winners exceeds your expectations.  We are the only sports handicapping service in the business who documents wins and losses and displays them on our homepage for all to witness.  It’s because we have nothing to hide…we just win games against the spread.  Join our family today and start your winning streak tonight.

NFL Wildcard Playoff Picks – Colts @ Chargers – Who Covers The Spread

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

FiveStarPick.com has started off the New Year with a 5-1 ATS run and will give its members 3 stunning football plays in both the Independence Bowl and the NFL Wildcard Playoffs.  The focus of today’s preview is tonight’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the San Diego Chargers.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Colts as 1-point favorites with the total set at 50.

Indianapolis (12-4 straight up, 7-8 against the spread) enters the postseason riding a nine-game SU winning streak after beating the Titans last weekend as a three-point home underdog, 23-0. The Colts, playing this game as one of the AFC’s wild-card teams, have covered the spread in their last two contests.  Both the Titans and the Colts played their backups most of the game to avoid starter injuries, but during the time the starters did play, Quarterback Peyton Manning was 7-of-7 for 95 yards and a touchdown.

San Diego (8-8 SU, 7-8 ATS) won the AFC West Division by beating Denver last weekend as a 7-point home favorite, 52-21.  Charger QB Philip Rivers went 15-20 for 207 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Darren Sproles had 14 carries for 115 yards and a score.  San Diego is not at full strength with LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates hurting. In addition, the Chargers last two wins were against two weak defensive teams in the Buccs and Broncos.

So who covers the spread in tonight’s game?  Why not let FiveStarPick.com help?  Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner.

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.

NFL Pick Of The Day – Patriots @ Colts – Who Covers The Spread

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

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.
