No wonder bettors love them so much. When you have a guy like Peyton Manning helming your offense for a decade without missing a game, you beat the spread often. <\/p>\n Indy\u2019s passing game is what every team wishes its passing game was. Manning is unbelievably well-protected; he took just 10 sacks in the entire regular season. With so much time to throw every week, he can read defenses and systematically pick them apart. If someone keys on Reggie Wayne, as Darrelle Revis did last week, or elite tight end Dallas Clark, Manning just finds his third and fourth options. Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie \u2013 rookies — caught 18 passes for 274 yards and two touchdowns against the Jets\u2019 No. 1 pass defense last week. Manning\u2019s vision is so good that he can handle virtually any defense and make anyone, including two rookies, look like stars. Or did the Colts simply stick with the pass all season since no one can stop them? We\u2019ll only know the answer to that question if New Orleans stops Manning and forces Indy to run the ball. <\/p>\n Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n Year-in, year-out, the Colts get lambasted for their poor tackling and weak run defense. Fair enough; their 126.5 yards allowed per game were the worst of any playoff team this year. As annoyingly brittle as Bob Sanders was, he was still a major plus for Indy\u2019s run-stopping ability. <\/p>\n That said, the Colts\u2019 pass defense is perennially underrated. It allowed a mediocre 212.7 yards per game during the regular season but always clamped down at crucial moments, as it did against Tom Brady during the Indy\u2019s comeback victory in Week 10 or against Matt Schaub in the dying moments of Week 12. Because the Colts score so much, they also limit teams\u2019 ability to run on them. Eventually, their opponents fall so far behind that they have no choice but to pass.<\/p>\n Special Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n More so than for most NFL squads, Indy\u2019s special teams are somewhat of an afterthought. Chad Simpson and T.J. Rushing are average return men that don\u2019t hurt their team but don\u2019t have the big-play abilities of Saints like Courtney Roby or Reggie Bush. Matt Stover has been adequate filling in for Adam Vinatieri and, whether or not Vinatieri returns from injury for the Super Bowl, the Colts are guaranteed to have a Super Bowl winner kicking for them on February 7.<\/p>\n Coaching<\/strong><\/p>\n So Jim Caldwell isn\u2019t a master deceiver like Sean Payton and Andy Reid, a player\u2019s coach like Mike Tomlin or a loudmouth like Rex Ryan. That doesn\u2019t make him a bad coach. He altered virtually nothing on offense \u2013 why would he? \u2013 but brought in a new defensive co-ordinator to employ a more aggressive defensive scheme that accentuates Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis on the ends. He also seems cool under pressure and a solid clock manager. Lastly, his decision to rest starters down the stretch looks smart now, doesn\u2019t it? So, while he\u2019s not the most hands-on coach in the world, he\u2019s no slouch either. A great matchup in store for Superbowl XLIV Sunday. We break down the Indianapolis Colts chances of winning and bring you their current lines. The Indianapolis Colts are going to score some points here, and will show an ability to keep the ball out of Brees’ hands…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[10331,23453,23454,23455,15309,15801,23456,23457,23458,23459,23460,23461,22986,23462,2244,23452,23439,9939,23447],"class_list":["post-18678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-super-bowl","tag-2010-superbowl","tag-colts-coaching","tag-colts-moneyline-odds","tag-colts-odds-to-win-superbowl-44","tag-colts-picks","tag-colts-preview","tag-colts-runningbacks","tag-colts-special-teams","tag-colts-spread","tag-colts-stats","tag-colts-super-bowl-xliv-lines","tag-colts-superbowl-line","tag-colts-superbowl-odds","tag-colts-superbowl-pointspreads","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-indianapolis-colts-team-breakdown","tag-super-bowl-44-teams","tag-super-bowl-xliv","tag-superbowl-44-spread"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18678"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18678\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18679,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18678\/revisions\/18679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nIndy\u2019s running game? Well, it\u2019s not so great. Actually, it ranked dead last in the NFL with 80.9 yards per game \u2013 eight fewer yards than 31st-ranked San Diego. While it\u2019s true that Donald Brown and Joseph Addai didn\u2019t move the chains regularly in 2009, is Indy\u2019s running game that bad? <\/p>\n
