Captain Andrew Luck posted on Twitter:
"Dearest Mother -
I have recieved your care package of salted racoon thighs and zesty gophers wrists. We continue our march to the Ten Sea. It's been decided that we shall battle at night in the hopes of being most tactically sound. The men are anxious , but confident.
- Andrew "
The hedgie is also confident in the Colts -4 and much less anxious now that Marcus Mariota has been declared OUT...
COLTS -4 4 stars
Vikings/ Bears UNDER 40.5 3 stars - Vikes new model of running the ball with new O coordinator suits this team well. Dalvin Cook back at full strength.
Browns +7 3 stars - HC Gregg Williams has declared this game a playoff game for the browns. The feisty Baker Mayfield can lead the Browns to a winning season. a win gets the Browns to 8-7-1 on the season and would knock of rival Ravens. This line is simply too high ...
Chiefs -14 2 stars - Chiefs at home laying 2 Tds a good bet ? in this instance it is. The Raiders got their Win on national TV last week and now travel on a short week to Arrowhead. Can't see how any Raider feels motivated or shows up today. Chiefs have lost 2 recently and need to get back on track heading into the playoffs. The Raiders have lost 4 road games by 14 or more this year....
BEARS +3 FIRST HALF - if the Bears win and the Rams lose the Bears get the 2nd seed in the NFC. The NFL wisely put the playoff scenario games at the same game times. So there is good reason for the Bears to play hard today. The Bears defense is the real deal and the Vikings Oline is a weakness. This should be a tight low scoring divisional battle. BUT at halftime if the Rams are cruising and ahead of the 49ers then there's no reason for the Bears to keep playing hard. They may very well take their foot of the gas and rest players for a hmoe game next week.
