The Indianapolis Colts hit the road for the second straight week looking to avenge a complete defensive melt down last week against Big Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Their chore this week – to knock off the New York Giants who emerge from their bye hoping to snap a two game losing streak.

Colts

The Indianapolis Colts were exposed last week to say the least – the team gave up 639 yards of offense to the Steelers in the 51-34 loss and Ben Roethlisberger tossed for 522 yards six TD passes – incredible considering the Colts defense pitched a shutout the week before.

Indianapolis’ defense generated zero pressure and failed to add to their impressive total of 21 sacks on the year.

It is reasonable to expect a bounce back for the Indy D this week – there is no way that they can be worse!

Although the defense struggled last week, the Colts offense continued to do its job.

Andrew Luck continued his MVP type season and threw for over 400 yards, TY Hilton continued his assertion into elite-WR status and Ahmad Bradshaw continued to defy all of his doubters.

We know that Andrew Luck will score in this one – they get the honor of going up against the league’s 25th ranked pass defense.

The game plan will be simple for Indianapolis – tighten up on defense and simply limit the opposition – unlike they did last week. Andrew Luck and company will do the rest.

Giants

The New York Giants were full of optimism just a few weeks ago but consecutive losses against Dallas and Philadelphia have this team back below .500 and in a virtual must-win situation the rest of the way.

An extra week to prepare will certainly help – the Giants defense has been porous to say the least and needed to plug a few holes for the second half of the season.

As mentioned, the pass defense has been awful. In their last game the Giants allowed Tony Romo to throw for 279 yards and three TDs.

#1 receivers have killed the Giants all year long and now they face the prospect of going up against arguably the hottest receiver in the game – TY Hilton.

A poor pass defense is not something that you want to possess – especially with Andrew Luck coming to town!

Stopping the run has also been an issue for the Giants this year but make no mistake about it – the Colts will throw early and often and try to win this game through the air.

Offensively the Giants have taken a step back from a few weeks ago when they looked like they had figured things out. Victor Cruz is gone but Odell Beckham looks like a valuable replacement.

Rashad Jennings should be back which will help Eli and the opposing offense keep the defenses honest.

Simply put the Giants should be OK and could have some success against an Indy defense that was absolutely shredded last week.

NFL Week 9 Betting Trends

• IND are 15-2 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
• Over is 8-2 in IND last 10 games overall.
• IND are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games on fieldturf.

It is hard to believe that the Colts are only favored by three. Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis offense has scored at will this season – to think that New York will be able to score enough to keep up is a dream!

4* FREE NFL Week 9 Betting Prediction

Eli Manning aint no Ben Roethlisberger and the Giants weapons are nowhere close to those that that Indy possesses.

Indianapolis Colts -3

I like the Colts to bounce back and win a high scoring affair 31-24.
