Faith in the Colts is waning. Even though they are still top of their division (tied with everybody else), Colts fans have to be a tad nervous about their team going forward. It took 55 minutes for them to score a touchdown on Sunday – on home turf!! The fact is that the offense is going to have some down games. Because of the uber-porous defense, an average offensive output will most often lead to average results.
Indianapolis still owns the fourth best passing game in the NFL but it is the 28th ranked running game that has allowed defenses to ignore the run and to focus solely on the pass. A 3.2 yards per carry average is not going to get it done. The Colts may be forced to start Mike Hart at running back this week with Donald Brown and Joseph Addai dinged. Anything would be better – right?
The Indianapolis defense is a total disaster. I know that many pin the blame on the loss of Bob Sanders but C’mon! They have been giving up an average of 142.2 yards per game on the ground and they are not getting any pressure on the quarterback. The fact that a unit that boasts the likes of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis has only generated two sacks in three games speaks volumes about where this team is defensively. 
The Washington Redskins are on a two game winning streak – against two pretty good teams to boot! The Skins are proof that a good coach and a good quarterback can take you a long way in the NFL.
The Washington offense has been OK so far this season. Under Donovan McNabb’s leadership, the passing game ranks seventh while the running game ranks a disappointing 25th. The offense is 24th in the league in scoring. If there is one glaring weakness on the Skins offense, it is the offensive line that is currently giving up way too many sacks. Even though they are struggling, Indy’s Mathis and Freeney could be a huge factor in this game.
The Redskins defensive numbers won’t jump off the page at you. They are allowing 4.5 yards per rush so far this season and 298 yards passing per game. Somehow, despite the unflattering numbers, this unit only gave up 32 points combined to the Packers, the Eagles and the Cowboys. A bend, don’t break style of defense has served the Skins well so far!
NFL Betting Prediction:
Indianapolis is 19-5 S/U in their last 24 games overall and 12-4 S/U in their last 16 games on the road. However, they are just 2-4 S/U and 1-4 ATS against Washington in recent meetings.
Washington is 5-12 S/U in their last 12 games, 2-4 S/U in their last six games at home and 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 games at home.
Indianapolis has to right the ship soon! Washington has played good teams tough, particularly at home. Something has to give. I like Peyton Manning to come out firing this week. The chances of him being shut down two weeks in a row are slim at best. The formula for defeating the Colts is to run the ball, control the clock and keep the Indy offense off the field. Something tells me that Ryan Torain isn’t the guy do accomplish these goals. The Skins are vulnerable through the air and that’s where the game will be won for the Colts.
NFL Betting Pick: Indianapolis Colts -3
