NFL Week 14 Free Pick:
The question on everyone’s minds regarding the Colts is what on earth is wrong with Peyton Manning? He’s thrown 11 interceptions in his last three games and four of them have been returned for touchdowns. They have no running game, injuries continue to mount on both sides of the ball and the one constant (Manning), is a train wreck right now. That won’t stop from making the Colts are pick on Thursday night, however. The odds are right in this one, as the Titans are at home and this is a divisional game so the spread is low. But Tennessee is a mess offensively and even though Indy has not played well defensively of late, the Colts should be able to keep Chris Johnson in check and pressure Kerry Collins. Manning isn’t going to continue to throw picks at this rate and now that they’re one game behind the Jaguars in the division, it’s time for the Colts to step up. The favorite is 4-1 against the spread in the last five games between these two teams, while the Colts are 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight Thursday games. Our pick is the Colts –3.
