Monday Night Guarantee

So it hasn’t been a good year for me this year on my Monday Night picks but it still looks like my Superbowl choices have a chance (check out my pre-season prediction in the football section.)  This week is another tough one but… “I got this.”  Green Bay takes on New Orleans or “Norlens if ya from the bayou”.  These are two teams that can put up some points, so I am going to have to go with the team that is more complete and that is Green Bay.  Both teams will put points on the board, but while Green Bay’s defense is not playing that well it is still better than the Saints and that is going to be the difference.  Look for Green Bay’s defense to come up big late in second half and then again late in the fourth.

Magic Gone for Indy

In watching the Colts play on Monday it is official that they are not the same team that they used to be.  After being the dominant team in the league for 5 years they are on the down turn.   Usually Peyton finds a way to win games like the one played on Monday night.  He calls some of his assistants to help him conjure up some magic and lead his team to victory.   This time they started off with a view tricks that impressed the crowd, but then, yes my friends the magic died.   Peyton reached into his hat but came out with nothing, no help from his supporting cast no nothing.  He was on stage by himself the second act of the show and it showed, Peyton is still the same he can still read the defense and make the throws, but his assistants not so much.   The Colts need to go back to the drawing board and figure out what they need to do change the way they are playing, it starts with figuring out a way to bring back the magic.   I suggest a call to David Blaine.

Well this week is an easy call right? The Titans are the most dominate run team in the league and the Colts have one of the worst run defenses in the league. The Titans are rolling and playing with confidence and each week you know what you will get, while with Colts they look disoriented and inconsistent. The Titans defense is stifling against the run and the Colts have had problems all year running the football. Not to mention that this is a home game for the Titans who are primed and excited to play on Monday night. But wait…Peyton Manning magic anyone? Look for the colts to win this one, I know it sound crazy but the colts are not ready to lose 2 in a row, and where there is a will there is a Peyton Manning waiting to lead his team to victory.
