The Indianapolis Colts have not had the year they were expecting so far as they come in at 3-4 on the year, but still that has been good enough for them to lead the South Division. They will be taking on a Carolina Squad that has year to lose a game this year.

Indianapolis              +5.5           
Carolina               -5.5
Over/Under:       46



The Indianapolis Colts have really struggled out the gate this year, posting a 3-4 record. They have actually played better on the road this year (2-1) than at home (1-3). A big reason for heir early season struggles seems to be the play of Andrew Luck, who has posted a 76.3 QBR thus far, with 11 TDs and 9 INTs. He has missed a couple of games and in stepped Matt Hasselbeck, who led them to two wins in a row, while posting a 95 QBR in the process. That had many Colt fans wondering if they needed to make the change permanent. The fans are wondering even more now as the Colts have lost their last two with Luck back in the lineup. The defense has also been an issue for this team as they rank 31st in the league in total defense and 21st in points allowed (24.9 ppg). 

 Carolina comes in at 6-0 on the year and have really been the biggest surprise so far this season. The Panthers have been doing it this year with a ground attack that leads the league in rushing and a very good defense. The ground attack is led by Jonathan Stewart who has 423 yards rushing so far, while Can Newton has chipped in with 245 yards and 4 TDs. Cam has not had a great year passing the ball, but he has don enough to win games. He also hasn't needed to do a whole lot as the defense has been very good for this tar, ranking 10th in yards allowed and 5th in points allowed, giving up just 18.3 ppg on the year.

[275] Indianapolis +5.5 over Carolina
The Colts are due and so is Andrew Luck and I feel it will happen in this game. The Panthers have been a very good team this year, but they are not a team that has enough offense to blow teams out and I can't see them being able to do that here vs a fired up ad desperate Colts team that had such high hopes heading into the year. The Colts are 7-0 ATS as dogs off a SU loss, while the Panthers are 2-8 ATS in the 2nd off BB home games and they are in the middle of a Philadelphia/ Green Bay sandwich. I like the Colts to win this one outright.
