AAA's 10* NFL SIDE OF YEAR *22-6 (79%) 10* NFL RUN!*
(NFL) Indianapolis vs. Carolina,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -120.00 Indianapolis (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* GAME OF THE YEAR on the Indianapolis Colts.

We think the visitors will keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe and while we wouldn't be completely shocked by an outright upset, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can. Carolina is the hottest team in the league, but enters its toughest part of the schedule right now, with a game vs. the Packers next week. Conversely, the Colts are in trouble at 3-4 and desperately need a win to keep pace for a playoff spot. And with a date vs. the red hot Broncos next week, Indianapolis can ill afford to "look past" Carolina in this spot. Take a look at Carolina's victories thus far: Jacksonville, Houston, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Seattle and Philadelphia. Winning in the NFL is never easy, but none of the teams that the Panthers have beaten this year have played with any type of consistency from week to week whatsoever. Indianapolis was predicted by many to surpass the Patriots this year, but despite its 3-4 start, this is still a very good team and we think the real Andrew Luck and company finally show up tonight. If the Colts win this game outright and parlay that momentum to another victory next week at home vs. Denver, suddenly the team is in the drivers seat heading into its bye week. Conversely, if the Panthers lose tonight, it's certainly not a "do-or-die" scenario, they'll be able to move on and prepare for Green Bay next week without any worries or concerns. Desperation vs. contentedness. Note that Indianapolis is 6-4 ATS in its last ten as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points, while Carolina is 5-6 ATS its last 11 as a favorite in the same points range. Play on the COLTS.
