INDY 15/2 FOR A CLEAN SWEEP
Another week, another win for the Colts, who now head into their bye-week
with a satisfying 7-0 next to their name. The 2/1 Super Bowl favorites were
15/2 joint favorites at the outset, the same price that bet365 now make them
to go unbeaten throughout the season. They certainly can do no wrong at the
moment, but a glance at their schedule suggests that they’ve had an easy
time of it so far, with their seven victims to date combining for a mere 14
wins in 44 appearances this season. The games do get a little harder from
now on, starting with their nemesis, the Patriots, on their return a week on
Monday. However, their tempting schedule does give them a great chance of
securing home advantage in the playoffs, and it wouldn’t have escaped their
backer’s notice either, that the Super Bowl will be played in their favored
indoor conditions in Detroit.
WEEK 7 RECAP
The Colts are certainly the team that everyone wants to back this season,
although the many bet365 customers who bet them to cover the 14.5-point
spread would have been sweating when the Texans leveled the game at 14-14 in
the second quarter. Indy were one of seven winning favorites who covered the
line in Week 7, with the best performance coming from Washington, whose
offence went crazy as they beat a hapless San Francisco by 22 points.
Luckless San Diego suffered their fourth narrow defeat in seven games (but
still covered), and are out to 25/1 in the outright market. Pittsburgh are
moving in the opposite direction (10/1 from 11/1), after a crucial road win
at divisional rivals Cincinnati (22/1 from 18/1), which also saw their odds
for the AFC North cut to 4/7 (from 5/4).
WEEK 8 - WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ NY GIANTS
Su Oct 30 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
Last week we cashed in with Denver (+1.5) in their NY win, but don’t feel as
if the Redskins will offer as much of a challenge this week, so we’ll be
playing the Giants giving up a short number (-2.0). The importance of home
advantage should not be underestimated, and the G-men are 4-0 (3-1 ATS) in
front of their home fans this season. They also took the same fixture last
season, easily covering the number, and that trend will continue this week.
Since getting off to a 3-0 start, Washington has now lost two out of three,
and are allowing 22-points per game in the process.
Pick 1: NY Giants (-2.0) @ 10/11
WEEK 8 – ARIZONA CARDINALS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
Su Oct 30 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
We’ve already seen plenty of interest in the Cowboys this week at an opening
line of 7.5 (now 9.5). That line may be slightly inflated now (fair play to
all the bet365 customers who got on early this week), but we can still ‘get
in the game’ by playing the ‘under’. Dallas is allowing just 12.3 points at
home, and has held their last three opponents – Eagles, Giants and Seahawks
- to a combined 36 points. Those teams’ offences rank first, fifth and 12th
respectively, and the Cardinals offence isn’t nearly as good. Their defense,
however, can be respectable, and they look capable of keeping the scoring
low this week, especially as the Dallas offence has some key injuries.
