(NFL) Buffalo vs. Indianapolis, 08/11/2013 9:30 AM, Score: 44 - 20
Point Spread: -3.50 | -109.00 Indianapolis (Home)
Result: Loss
When the Colts had Peyton Manning, they seemed to protect him through these games while the losses mounted knowing that when the bright lights went on it didn't matter. They now have another rising star at QB in Andrew Luck but he is still young and needs the reps in this game, who will be followed by Hasselbeck and Harnish. The focus for Indy, however, will be an overhauled defense. Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky will be watching closely as he looks to fill the void left by six defensive starters from 2012 that have moved to new teams. There is also a nice battle at running back going on in Colts camp. The No. 1 job belongs to Vick Ballard, but he's being pushed by Donald Brown and rookie Kerwynn Williams who has put in some time with the first team at camp.
Buffalo has just three wins in the last three years in the NFL preseasons and their main concern is to not injure any of their starters in this game. Also their QB rotation is very weak
