Untitled document Thursday night NFL Preseason Preview Two games are on tonight’s NFL betting board featuring two of the AFC’s expected contenders yet playing as road underdogs at Sportsbook.com. The Indianapolis Colts are 3.5 point underdogs as they take on the Buffalo Bills in Toronto. In the other contest, the New England Patriots (+2.5) travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons.  Indianapolis @ Buffalo Sportsbook.com Line: Buffalo -3.5 Total: 34 Peyton Manning showed his MVP form in the Colts’ opener against the 49ers, going 8-for-10 for 91 yards while leading his team to 10 points in two series. The offense struggled when Manning turned the reins over to backup Curtis Painter, who proceeded to throw 3 INT in a 37-17 loss to the 49ers. The Colts are now 4-19 in their last 23 preseason games.  The Bills are coming off of a 42-17 thrashing at the hands of the Redskins in their preseason opener. Ryan Fitzpatrick was the top performer at QB for Buffalo, completing 9 of 14 passes for 61 yards and a TD without throwing a pick. Trent Edwards connected on half of his 12 pass attempts for a total of 58 yards and an INT. Bills RBs Fred Jackson (hand) and Marshawn Lynch (ankle) are both out for this game and likely longer, which should lead to more carries for all-purpose rookie C.J. Spiller out of Clemson. Spiller carried the ball four times for 16 yards against the Redskins.  Painter can’t play much worse than he did in the Colts’ opener and it would seem unlikely that the defending AFC Champs would remain winless after this one against a depleted sub-par team.  

Don’t ignore this betting system as you handicap the contest:

·         Play On - Underdogs or pick (INDIANAPOLIS) - off a home loss by 10 or more points, winless in the preseason. (21-4 over the last 10 seasons.) (84%, +16.6 units. Rating = 2*).
