NFL prospects prospects makers have long known that there are few squads more unsuccessful in preseason with the NFL betting prospects than the Indianapolis colts. As Indianapolis was 0-3 both straight up and with the NFL betting prospects in 2010 exhibition competition, NFL prospects have continued to beat the Indianapolis Colts like a drum in preseason play.



The Indianapolis Colts 3rd preseason game was their worst debacle yet as they were completely destroyed at Green Bay by the Packers 59-24 as 4 point road longshots. The previous week Indianapolis lost in poor fashion at Buffalo 21-34, which came after their preseason opener against San Francisco which was a 37-17 loss.

The Indianapolis Colts have placed very little emphasis on the preseason since the days of head coach Tony Dungy and have gone only 6-18 against the spread in exhibition play since 2005.

The Indianapolis Colts have long been a seasoned playoff contending team that has had one goal in preseason and that’s been to come from it unscathed, healthy and with a total starting lineup for the regular season opener.

Even in the blowout loss with the Football Betting odds at Green Bay, the Indianapolis Colts still sustained injuries. Linebacker Gary Brackett endured an injury to his right hand and running back Joseph Addai left the competition in the third quarter because of a concussion.

Also hurt was cornerback Jacob Lacey (concussion), offensive tackle Tony Ugoh (toe), and defensive tackle Antonio Johnson (groin).

On the bright side, quarterback Peyton Manning was outstanding because he threw for 214 yards and a touchdown. The reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Award champ was philosophical about the loss with the NFL odds.

“Obviously the score got away at the end, which is certainly possible in the preseason,” explained Manning. “You’re playing a lot of young guys. Offensively, some things that we did well, but as with most preseason games, there are some things that we can certainly improve on.”

“It wasn’t 59 points against our starters, it was 59 points overall,” claimed Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell.

The Colts had center Jeff Saturday and tight end Dallas Clark out of the lineup against Green Bay.

Their preseason finale was against the Cincinnati Bengals on September 2 before the regular season opener with the betting online prospects at Houston on September 12 in a crucial AFC South Division showdown with the Texans, who are liked to challenge the Indianapolis Colts for the leading spot in the division.
