The Indianapolis Colts are no longer the good boys of NFL Football… Just ask wideout Marvin Harrison

By: Syndicate

Just when you think the Patriots are the ones being hated the most after their ’spying cameras scandal’ last season, this happened.

For all ya’ll who didn’t know, Indianapolis Colts star Marvin Harrison was recently linked to a shooting near his car wash and garage. Reports say Harrison was neither charged nor is under investigation by the authorities. After this one, he should be.

With still more than a few months more before the brand new 2008-09 NFL football season begins, Marvin Harrison found himself making headlines already although this is the kind of news nobody would like to be in.

Turns out that six of the Marvin Harrisonbullet casings found from the shooting came from the gun owned by… you guessed it, Indianapolis Colts star wide receiver Marvin Harrison.

This is after the police returned to the scene of the crime to examine the bullet holes in two residences after new information was given to the authorities by an alleged third victim of the shooting incident. Chances are, it won’t be Peyton Manning.

Marvin Harrison and his people still claim the Colts wideout was not present during the said shooting, claiming that Harrison’s gun was not involved. Luckily for this guy, the police still has no clue of any…

Colts lose 28-24 to injured Chargers, what da fuck?!?

By: Seth Edward O'Neal

seth-edward-oneal.jpgIf you’ve been watching these football games the past six months, this should be your sentiments exactly.

Yep, the Indianapolis Colts, the team that was suppose to be the biggest road block in the middle of the Patriots’ road for a Super Bowl championship, just got blindsided by the injury-plagued San Diego Chargers, beating the Colts without quarterback Philip Rivers and star runningback LaDainian Tomlinson.

Imagine that huh? Peyton Manning, last year’s Super Bowl MVP, lost to a team being ran by the likes of quarterback Billy Volek and halfback Michael Turner. If you don’t have a clue who these guys are, I don’t blame you.

Well, the Indianapolis Colts will remember Peyton Manningthem for sure. And after Volek and Turner led the Chargers to a 28-24 upset of Indianapolis, every single soul in Indiana will make them remember.

And as expected, Philip Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson were more than happy to see the subs play like they did. After everything that has been said about the Colts going under the radar this season, the San Diego Chargers definitely put these Colts under, for good.

‘’No one seemed rattled,'’ LaDainian Tomlinson, the two-time NFL rushing champion, said. He only had 28 yards on seven carries. ‘’Guys just kept playing. It was really amazing to…'’

2007-08 NFL Football Week 14 Gambling Guide

By: J.J. Jack

It’s Week 14 and while people may disagree on which teams should go to a BCS bowl game, there’s nothing like that in the NFL.

Yep, because quite frankly, the title contenders are already separating themselves from the rest of the pack by a considerable margin after thirteen weeks into the 2007-08 NFL football season.

And speaking of separating themselves from the rest of the field, there’s no other team in the NFL right now that have separated themselves more than the still perfect New England Patriots. At 12-0, they should be the heavy favorites to represent the AFC in Super Bowl XLII at Glendale. And with their closest rivals, the Indianapolis Colts, STILL two games behind them, that shouldn’t change anytime soon.

Peyton ManningThey have the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in a game many are claiming to be the very game that will stop the Pats in their pursuit of perfection. But if New England’s come-from-behind win over Baltimore last week is any indication of how motivated these Pats are in winning football games this year, the Steel Curtain wouldn’t stand a chance.

New England already brought one defensive powerhouse from Baltimore down last week and I reckon defensive powerhouse No.2 will go down the same way. Pick the Pats -13.5 over the…

Indianapolis Colts V Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving

By: J.J. Jack

The Atlanta Falcons are struggling and the Indianapolis Colts will let the Birds see why they have no business being on the same field with them.

In what would be the first Thursday Night Football game of the 2007-08 NFL football season, (because they normally kick these off on Thanksgiving…) the Indianapolis Colts take on the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome.

And while the rest of the nation go ga-ga over the ridiculously powerful Patriots, the Indianapolis Colts will pound the birds in Atlanta in preparation for their possible second meeting with the Pats this time in the playoffs.

Peyton ManningThe Indianapolis Colts continue to hover under the radar, and after they suffered their first loss of the season to the New England Patriots, they continue to, especially after they had their second straight loss, this time to the San Diego Chargers, before finally getting back to the win column after beating the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday.

However, despite the win over Kansas City, it seems Indianapolis Colts superstar Peyton Manning lost that fire after losing to Patriots QB Tom Brady three weeks ago.

After losing to Pats 24-20, Peyton Manning lost to San Diego 23-21 in a game where he recorded a rather miserable 49.4 QB rating. Of course, what was even more shocking during that game against…

2007-08 NFL Football Week 11 Gambling Guide

By: J.J. Jack

The New England Patriots are playing again and yes, I already miss their OH-SO-DOMINANT form.

The Pats, after dominating the football field for NINE straight games this 2007-08 NFL football season, are coming off their bye-week and will be back on the field against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. This should be a good one considering how bad these Pats pounded Buffalo the last time they played.

The New England Patriots pounded the Bills 38-7 then for their third straight win of what would be a dominant nine-game winning streak. The Bills, on the other hand, lost starting QB J.P. Losman during that game after taking a rather vicious hit from the Patriots defense.

Tom BradyHowever, instead of simply folding, the Buffalo Bills used that loss to the Patriots as a wake-up call as they went on to a 5-1 stand since losing Losman. Led by rookie quarterback Trent Edwards, the Bills just kept on winning, shocking most of us every week. Their only loss belongs to the Dallas Cowboys in a game they almost won too, 25-24.

Well, J.P. Losman will be starting for the Buffalo Bills again in his personal rematch with the New England Patriots defense. Come game time, Losman returning wouldn’t matter because…

San Diego Chargers give Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts their second straight loss

By: Syndicate

The New England Patriots are no longer the only team that can claim they beat the defending Super Bowl champs.

After the 10th Sunday of the 2007-08 NFL football season was over, the Colts, yes YOUR defending Super Bowl champions, suffered their second consecutive loss of the season and this time, they can’t put the blame on Tom Brady for being too good.

It was the San Diego Chargers this time around as they jumped on Indianapolis right from the get-go, scoring first via a remarkable 89-yard kickoff return by Darren Sproles to start the game.

Peyton ManningAfter a 33-yard Nate Kaeding field goal and yet another return for a touchdown from Sproles, the Chargers had a commanding 16-0 lead over the Colts after the very first quarter.

LaDainian Tomlinson scored on a four-yard touchdown run to put his team ahead 23-0 over Indianapolis early in the second quarter as the Colts defense were still probably reeling from those two returns for touchdowns from Darren Sproles.

Although that Tomlinson touchdown was the last thing the San Diego Chargers would be able to do, they held on just enough to win the game while Peyton Manning just kept on throwing interceptions while trying to run the Colts offense.

For what it’s worth, the Indianapolis Colts still had a chance to win the game with 1:31 left. They were down 23-21 and Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri was well within range, a 29-yarder, to give the Colts a…

2007-08 NFL Football Week 10 Gambling Guide

By: J.J. Jack

You should know by now that Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots are hot shit right now.

Heck, these guys solidified that very premise this 2007-08 NFL football season by kicking the asses of the defending Super Bowl champions Indianapolis Colts. The Pats are now the only team undefeated this season and boy, they sure are looking quite good to winning it all in Glendale, Arizona.

The New England Patriots, now sitting at an incredible 9-0 record, HAVE THE WEEK OFF. He he… But we’ll still try to make Week 10 worth watching for ya’ll and we’ll start that by picking the Dallas Cowboys over the New York Giants in what should be a battle of the ‘beasts in the east’ this Sunday.

The Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants are sitting 1 and 2 respectively in the NFC East and if it wasn’t for the Patriots beating them Cowboys last month, Dallas would be as hot as the Giants coming in this contest this Sunday.

You see, the New York Giants, after dropping their first two games of the season, have won six straight games to become the second hottest team in the NFL. Next only to the Patriots of course. So why am I picking Dallas? Easy. Terrell Owens. Plaxico Burress, who has been hobbling with injuries all season long, won’t be able to match-up to T.O., who is probably pissed STILL after getting his ass humiliated by Randy Moss a few weeks ago.

Pick the Cowboys to beat the Giants -6.5 this Sunday.

The Indianapolis Colts are no longer perfect after Tom Brady stole the game away from them in the final minutes of their face-off last Sunday with two quick drives that led to two touchdowns. Well, they have the San Diego Chargers on Sunday Night Football and I’m sure these Colts are just waiting for somebody to vent all their frustrations on and unfortunately for San Diego, their struggling asses are…

Patriots beat the Colts in Indy with two quick TDs

By: J.J. Jack

And now we have one.

Yep, the New England Patriots are now the only undefeated team this 2007-08 NFL football season. They are still on their way to matching the mark set by the 1972 Miami Dolphins and after overcoming a sloppy first half in Indianapolis to beat the Colts, it sure looks like these Patriots will be breezing past the year undefeated indeed.

In what many are claiming as the biggest rivalry game of the regular season, the undefeated New England Patriots and the then perfect Indianapolis Colts faced-off in what was a rematch of the 2007 AFC championship game, not to mention the next chapter of probably the biggest rivalry in football today.

Indianapolis Colts VS New England PatriotsFor the first time this season, the New England Patriots let the opposing team score in their opening drive, giving up great field position to set up Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri for a 21-yarder.

Oh yeah, the Patriots, after scoring for every single opening drive they had all year, failed to do that in Indianapolis as Tom Brady got harassed by the Indianapolis Colts defense time and time again.

Hell, it was a nightmare of a half for New England too as the Colts scored with another Vinatieri field goal and an amazing 73-yard touchdown play from Joseph Addai after giving up the Patriots’ only score in the first half.

That’s a four-yard touchdown pass from…

Patriots VS Colts, nothing more needs to be said…

By: J.J. Jack

Yes, this is the match-up we’ve all been waiting for.

The 8-0 New England Patriots play the 7-0 Indianapolis Colts in a rematch of the 2007 AFC championship game. Yes, both teams are undefeated heading for this Sunday’s classic encounter and boy, you just know business is about to pick up this 2007-08 NFL football season.

First, the New England Patriots. Led by the best quarterback in the league right now, Tom Brady, the Patriots were able to engineer a dominant eight-game winning streak no team has able to put an end yet.

They are still on their way in becoming the second team in NFL history to post a perfect 16-0 regular season record since the Miami Dolphins did it in 1972 and with the way Tom Brady and the rest of his ‘Brady Bunch’ are trashing teams right now, averaging 40+ points per game, the ‘72 Dolphins record is in danger for sure. Of course, thanks to Randy Moss and all the other parts this New England team was able to put together in the offseason.

As for the Indianapolis Colts, it seems everybody is so fixated at the Patriots right now that the Colts are just breezing through the season STILL unnoticed. However, the Colts claim they like it that way as that will probably let them…

2007-08 NFL Football Week 9 Betting Picks

By: J.J. Jack

Jeez… Did you saw how dominant the New England Patriots were last week? 52 points! My… It doesn’t get any better than that.

Yep, the Patriots continue their undefeated streak this 2007-08 NFL football season, beating down the Redskins, 52-7, last Sunday. The Patriots are now 8-0 and are still on the running to become only the second NFL team to go through a season perfect since the Dolphins did it back in 1972.

While it was the Redskins last Sunday, the New England Patriots could be facing their toughest test yet this season as they meet the also undefeated Indianapolis Colts in what should be the biggest match-up of the season this Sunday on Week 9.

Randy MossThese two teams probably have the biggest rivalry in football today and both teams will try to put a road block on each other’s campaign by dealing the other team the very thing they don’t want these days.

A loss.

The 7-0 Indianapolis Colts, although still perfect as well like their rivals from Boston, are hovering under the radar if you will with the rest of us probably fixated at these Patriots. However, the Colts claim they like it that way as that will probably let them play without any pressure whatsoever from the media. Well, that’s what they think anyway.

The last time these two teams met, it was in the 2007 AFC championship game where the Colts, led by Peyton Manning of course, fueled a…
