Colts Defend Decision to Pull Starters Sportsbook Online. Sportsbook online had the Indianapolis Colts losing their first game of the season last week as they fell to the New York Jets. The Colts were leading in the third quarter and on pace to cover the odds at the offshore sportsbook when they pulled many of their starters including quarterback Peyton Manning. The Colts went from winning 15-10 to losing 29-15 in offshore sportsbook results.
Sportsbook online had two unbeaten teams a few weeks ago and now there are none as the Colts and Saints have both lost. Sportsbook online had the Colts defending their decision to pull starters. Head coach Jim Caldwell was barraged with questions about pulling the starters and he had to defend himself after the sportsbook online loss. The decision was not just Caldwell’s but came from team president Bill Polian. “Football logic has to come into play, and that logic is it makes no sense to have guys out there with the potential for injuries,” Polian said. “We played for 16 weeks, sharp as any team in football. The good thing is that none of this mattered in the standings.”
The Colts turned a possible victory into a sure loss by pulling their starters against the Jets. What should be remembered in sportsbook online is that it is not always easy to turn back on success. Sportsbook online indicates that the Indianapolis players were not happy but they publicly supported their coach. “Until any player in here is the head coach, you follow orders and you follow them with all of your heart,” Manning said, “That’s what we’ve done as players. We follow orders. Our orders were not to give up a turnover, not to give up a kick return for a touchdown. There’s not many games, under any circumstances, that you win when you have turnovers and give up a kick return for a touchdown.”
How will this affect Indianapolis in sportsbook online odds? The Colts will not be a popular sportsbook online play in the regular season finale against Buffalo but they will still be favored at the offshore sportsbook in the playoffs. The Colts are 10-4-1 against the sportsbook online odds this season. The Colts will be playing all of their sportsbook online playoff games at home. Indianapolis is just 3-4-1 against the sportsbook online odds at the offshore sportsbook at home this year.
