The wait is over for that Seattle Seahawks vs. Indianapolis Colts line. Finally Bookmaker.com has published the Colts as a -10 ½ favorite. The delay in posting a line has been the result of uncertainty over whether Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and left tackle Walter Jones will be playing on Sunday and it appears they won't be.
Bookmaker.com was one of the only online sportsbooks that had released a line on the Seattle Seahawks vs. Indianapolis Colts game by late Wednesday***.
When these two teams met up in 2005, Seattle beat up on Indianapolis pretty bad at home by a score of 28-13. In fact, The Seahawks have taken three of the past four meetings to trim the Colts' overall series lead to 5-4.
Despite losing Anthony Gonzalez in Week 1 to a leg injury and throwing to an undistinguished wide receiver corps (aside from Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark), Manning is off to one of the best starts of his career. He leads the AFC in passer rating (117.7) and is also atop the conference in touchdown passes with seven.
Peyton Manning threw for 379 yards and four touchdowns Sunday night against Arizona, the eighth time he's had 300-plus yards and four touchdowns in a game. That's tied for second most since the 1970 merger.
The Seahawks have performed well Against The Spread following an ATS loss. Seattle is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss.
The Colts, meanwhile, are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU win of more than 14 points.
