Tonight we have a Sunday night or that'll impact the NFC race with the
00:04
Packers and the Seahawks. We'll get there in a second, but I want to get your guys
00:07
thoughts on the game between the Colts and the Broncos here. I'll go to
00:11
you first, Lee. See, Denver booked as the four-and-a-half point favorite. Both
00:14
teams coming off of their very late season bye week here. What are your
00:17
expectations? I think the Colts are alive in terms of this matchup. Again, they're
00:21
coming out of a bye, but again, last game they played they beat New England by one
00:25
point. Jonathan Taylor and the rushing attack got going 96 yards on the ground.
00:29
A couple weeks ago, I think they're gonna need Jonathan Taylor to step up
00:33
and then that could open up the play-action attack for Anthony
00:36
Richardson, but I still feel they're alive here. Again, I know Bo Nix has
00:40
stepped up. I know Denver's four-and-two at home and Sean Payton has done a
00:44
fantastic job with this team. I just believe in the Colts. The line suggested
00:49
as well. We saw four-and-a-halves for much of the week now down to three-and-a-half.
00:53
I like them on the money line. I really do. I think the Colts find a way to
00:57
potentially win this game. I took them plus 186 to pull this game out, Donnie. I
01:02
think they find a way offensively running the football. Early September and
01:06
early, excuse me, late September and early October, you saw two games that the Denver
01:10
Broncos played at the Buccaneers and at the Jets. 26-7 victory. Jets 10-9.
01:14
There were dogs in both of those games, but after that, the reason I bring this
01:17
up is they've actually beaten who they're supposed to beat routinely here.
01:21
You take a look at the Raiders game. They beat them. They lost to the Chargers,
01:24
which is a tough one, but then continue on at the Saints. You're supposed to beat
01:27
them. You do. The Panthers, you beat them. At the Ravens, at the Chiefs, you lost
01:30
both of those games. Probably weren't supposed to win that. Then you counter
01:33
with the Falcons, Raiders, and Browns, probably who you were supposed to beat
01:36
in those three games. They've done that. So now we line up in a game against the
01:39
Colts today, who they're supposed to beat. Usually, we get caught up and say, hey,
01:42
show me something out here, which I love to do. Like, you can win nine games or
01:45
ah, they gotta win that tenth in a row to show me something. They've shown me,
01:48
specifically at home, if they need to beat a team that they're supposed to beat,
01:51
they have the capabilities to beat that team, and I think they do it. Now, rest it,
01:55
Jonathan Taylor. Rest it up, Anthony Richardson. Getting a wide receiver back,
01:59
is that gonna make it tougher? Yes. But why am I gonna be doubting the Denver
02:02
Broncos now in a game they're favored, as if they can't beat them, and it's a
02:05
rookie quarterback, and they're trying to learn how to win? No, they've been
02:07
winning all along. I trust them. I think they win and cover this game, Joe. I do.
02:10
You know, you look at the stretch for Indianapolis and two of those last three
02:14
wins by exactly one point. It doesn't necessarily inspire a world of
02:19
confidence when we're trying to figure, oh, things are going great right now, and
02:23
no, they're, you know, a gutsy call by Shane Steikton to come back against the
02:26
Jets. It's worked out well enough for them, but it's certainly not a team I'd
02:30
think would win. Everybody comes back against the Jets. Like, what happened? I don't know. That's another thing.
02:33
Yeah. My goodness. Oh, you fired your head coach and put a significantly
02:37
worse coach in charge. Wouldn't be able to look at him, though. Yeah, that's a good point there.
02:40
It was a defensive wizard, though, Holbrook. Yeah. He was actually the one calling the plays. Thanks, bro.
