    Buy The Colts Down to -3?
    I'm definitely gonna bet on the Colts on this one, but I think there is a possibility that the Saints could make it a close one.

    I could take the Colts
    SU for -200
    or
    -3 for 165.

    What should I do? (no wise ass answers plz, honest advice appreciated)!

    If the line at your book is -4 1/2 then the fair price bought down to -3 should be at-3 -140 at 10 cents per half point-right-good idea-gl.

      Bodog has Colts moneyline at -185. I took it and I'd advise everyone else to take it too.

          Colts defense gave up 480 passing yards to the Patriots, they also gave up 350 in the air to the Texans.

          What the hell do you think the Saints #1 offense will do ?

          this is not the Jets or Ravens

              The Colts won both those games right? I thought so....

              Selective Memory Loss or Just being a Homer

              Saints defense gave up:

              439 yards to Dallas
              313 in the air

              463 yards to Philly
              384 in the air to a BACK UP QB

              442 yards to Falcons Game 1

              455 yards to the Skins
              367 in the air to JASON CAMPBELL

              303 passing to the Falcons Game 2

              439 yards to the Bucs-LOSS

              475 total to Minny
              310 to 41 y/o Favre


              WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN MANNING TEARS THAT SHIT UP

              If memory serves me correctly, the Colts lost 2 games because they sat everyone. What was the Saints excuse for losing the last 2 home games with all the starters playing?

              They torched the #3 & #1 ranked defenses in the playoffs, imagine what they'll do to the 25th ranked D

                  All good points but 2 weeks to prepare and getting 5 points against an average Colts defense leaves the back door wide open. Colts win but the Saints never quit and score and try the on sides kick with under 2 minutes. Thats how I see it...

                    If you find a book that charges 10 cents to buy from -3.5 to -3 in the NFL, please let me know!

                    -4.5 -110 should be -3 -155, so I am assuming the OP's book has Colts -5. ML of -200 is better then -3 -165.

                        Just like when baseball rolls around its pretty hard to make a living betting -165's much less -200's. Find stuff that will win at -110 or -105. You start reaching and hedging and out thinking yourself at -200.
