**Saints at Colts** (+1.5, 43.5) 1:00 (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Ministry of Pain
- Start date
Could see this becoming a sneaky shootout which might just be what the Colts are as a team going forward, as Minshew moves the ball, but is also a turnover machine.
For Indy, I think the Saints are much weaker in the middle of the field than the perimeter, so I expect the Josh Downs train to keep on humming. If Indy had a TE of note, instead of a rotation, they would be a sneaky start as well.
The Colts struggle in the intermediate area, so if Michael Thomas is good to go (Q illness) I think he could have his biggest game of the season. Could also see them maybe scale back Kamara (rushing at least) a bit this week, as they could be playing with a lead more than usual.
I'll say Saints win 28-20.

Matthew Berry's "sneaky" plays this week were the players in this game. I think they average 70 and 67 plays per game, respectively, IIRC. That's quite a bit. Now watch us get a defensive turf battle.
This game could become a "Fantasy Gold Game of the Week".
Or not.
If both teams limit their mistakes it could be high scoring.
If both teams keep making mistakes it might not be high scoring but turn into an "I don't want it you take it" game.
Indoors where both teams are very comfortable. So I think I'll go with the former and
Nostradumbass will say...
Saints- 34
Colts- 27

Gardner Minshew with 2+ INTs today. One for a pick-6.
The Saints D is the difference.
NOS 27
IND 22

What just happened there? I thought I saw them kick a fg, then they were back out there on offense for 4th and inches

Delay of game, then a penalty on the FG.

Apparently flag on the Saints

If there was a penalty, why wasn’t it first down,? Or was the graphic wrong about the down?
Edit:Nm I get it. They lost 5 on a delay of game, the. The five yard penalty on the fg brought it back to 4th and inches

Could miss this by a mile, but I can’t envision this a shootout with Carr. NO seems very dysfunctional.

I dare you to name a more prolific combo than Derrick Carr and missing Olave on deep routes.

Taylor did get stuffed on a goal-line car from the two earlier and didn't get another shot. Of course, Moss punches one in.

Well, it’s a shootout. Long TD to Shaheed.

Where the hell is Jonathan Taylor in this game? Is he even playing?

2-3 carries in the 2nd half. Inexcusable…an all out Minshew air assault with a guy averaging 8 a carry

I did in one league. That's also the league I'm going up against Lamb, and Mahomes -- my QB -- is crapping the bed, so there's that.
Back to Shaheed. He completely stretches the field and has Carr's confidence on deep balls. Heck, even Taysom threw him one that he went up and got for a contested catch. That one was nice.
His line? 3-153-1
He's the bomb in classic non-PPR formats.
