10* NON-CONF GAME OF YEAR: 100-79 NFL RUN!
(NFL) Lions (DET) vs. Colts (IND),
Point Spread: 7.50 | -115.00 Colts (IND) (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* NON-CONF GOY on the Colts.

While I do think an outright win is a possibility, in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can in what I anticipate will be a much more competitive battle than what this spread is suggesting.

Everyone and their dog is now quick to jump on the Lions, but after eight straight wins, and with a short week before a home date on Thanksgiving against the Bears, this sets up as a classic "letdown/look-ahead" spot and when you add those two factors together you get "trap game."

But it's not just a "trap" game for the Lions, it's also a "trap" for nearly 80% of the early public bettors in my opinion.

At 5-6, this is an important game for the Colts, who snapped a three-game slide with a big 28-27 road win at the Jets.

As primarily a situational capper, these are exactly the types of games that I'm constantly keeping my eyes open for at this time of the season.

Grab the points, the play is INDIANAPOLIS.

Good luck, NP
