Colts vs. Giants

The Giants have lost two straight and needed their bye week to try and get things back on track.  I’m sure they will perform better than the past few weeks, but unfortunately they are facing a Colts teams that is coming off of a blowout loss to the Steelers and they want to show that they’re much better than that.

I think both teams will play well but I expect the Colts to come out with more intensity to start the game this week and although the Giants will be desperate for a win, Andrew Luck won’t let the Colts lose two in a row.  Colts will win.

Winner:  Colts

Score prediction:       28-24  Colts   

Points spread:      Colts -3.5

Over/under:  51 – Over
