Will the 13-0 Indianapolis Colts opt for safety over perfection on Thursday Night NFL in Jacksonville Jaguars?
Will the 13-0 Indianapolis Colts opt for safety over perfection on Thursday Night NFL in Jacksonville Jaguars? Indy has clinched top-spot in the conference and the AFC South and home-field throughout the postseason and there has been some suggestion that the team could rest its starters.

The Colts say they will play their starters on Thursday, for part of the game at least. “We’re going to approach the 14th game exactly like we did one through 13,” Indy head coach Jim Caldwell told The Indianapolis Star.
“We’ve got a great rhythm in terms of our preparation and we’re going to go out and play it just like we have done the previous 13.”
While undefeated Indianapolis is 7-3 SU in its last 10 overall against Jacksonville, it is also 3-7 ATS. The game is currently off the board. Both the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints are currently sitting at 13-0 SU and could very well go 16-0.

The Colts are listed at +190 to go undefeated during the regular season while the Saints are -130.

Cards’ Fitzgerald Uncertain For Sunday
After suffering injuries on MNF, Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald might not play in the team’s game against Detroit this Sunday.
According to The Arizona Republic, Fitzgerald had an MRI which revealed “a bone bruise and a sprained right knee,” although there is said to be no structural damage.
The team will make a decision on his status this week and Arizona is a big 12-point road faves for the Detroit Lions game.

The WR suffered the injuries in a 24-9 road loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night — the Cards failed to cover at -3.

NFL Picks: For the Upcoming Week 14 NFL
If the mighty haven’t fallen yet, they’re teetering.
Perennial pre-season favourites Pittsburgh and New England aren’t at the centre of the playoff discussion with just four weeks of regular-season football remaining. It’s certainly not the type of claim — regarding these two organizations — we’re used to hearing at this time of year.
Much can change in a short period of time, but you can mark this one down: if the Steelers (at 6-6) don’t guzzle the Browns on Thursday, their season is done.

Tom Brady and his Patriots (7-5) have a little more rope, but not a full coil. New England’s advantage could be the schedule. In the final two weeks, the Patriots face Jacksonville and Houston, two teams they’ll likely need to beat out to land a wild-card slot if they can’t harness the AFC East title.
• THURSDAY
Pittsburgh (6-6) at Cleveland (1-11) (+9.5)
The Steelers surrendered 396 yards-combined to Oakland last week. Defensive co-ordinator Dick LeBeau is legendary at making the right adjustments and history tells us to ride his coattails and QB Ben Roethlisberger’s arm when the season’s on the line. Take the Steelers.
• SUNDAY

New Orleans (12-0) at Atlanta (6-6) (+10.5)
How bad does Drew Brees have it? He takes his air show onto the immaculate carpet and conditions at the Georgia Dome seven days after ripping up the turf in Washington with 419 yards. Can we at least hit 500 this week? Brees leads the NFL in passer rating (111.3) and TDs (29) and faces the fourth-worst pass defence in the league. Take the Saints.
Green Bay (8-4) at Chicago (5-7) (+3)
Wasn’t it Chicago that was supposed the have the dominating defence? The Packers are fourth against the run and fifth against the pass. Since the Bears can’t do either (watch the logic kick in here folks …), take the Packers.
St. Louis (1-11) at Tennessee (5-7) (-12.5)
Check out more Football betting picks at our Sportsbook
According to Accuscore, a simulator that forecasts the probability of teams winning games, the Titans have a nine per cent chance of making the playoffs. Miraculous comebacks don’t come around often and that loss to Indy last week likely ended things for Tennessee. They’ll take it out on the Rams this weekend. Take the Titans.
Denver (8-4) at Indianapolis (12-0) (-7)
Nice bounce-back shown by the Broncos the past two weeks after dropping four in a row. Denver faces a Colts team that astounds, given the injuries. Indianapolis has Peyton, but they’ve also dug up a good running attack led by Joseph Addai (two TDs last week). Take the Colts.
Buffalo (4-8) at Kansas City (3-9) (+1)
How meaningful is this one? Well for one participant, not really. Terrell Owens signed with a modelling agency this week to go with his reality show and breakfast cereal. "When you’ve got some good looks like myself, you’ve got to take full advantage of it," the sometime focused Bills receiver said. There’s no catwalk in KC. Take the Chiefs.

Cincinnati (9-3) at Minnesota (10-2) (-6.5)
The Bengals have underwhelmed lately. The Vikings need a rebound game after losing convincingly to Arizona. Take the Vikings.
Carolina (5-7) at New England (7-5) (-13)
Pats have dropped three of four and might be reeling, but Carolina is one soft spot New England can land on. Take the Patriots.
NY Jets (6-6) at Tampa Bay (1-11) (+3)
Rookie QB Mark Sanchez (sprained knee) sits and Kellen Clemens takes his spot. Tough break for the Jets, who’ve won two straight but the offence has dried up. Expect to see a lot of RB Thomas Jones, which should be enough against the league’s second-worst run stop. Take the Jets.

Miami (6-6) at Jacksonville (7-5) (-3)
Huge win for the Jags last week against Houston; ditto for Miami against the Pats. The Jags’ schedule down the stretch (Indy, at New England) is a brute and any hope for a wild card rests with a must-win at home this week. Take the Jaguars.
Detroit (2-10) at Baltimore (6-6) (-13)
The Ravens move forward after a trio of tough games (Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Green Bay). There’s no chance of a letdown Sunday with an opportunity to improve the playoff chances. RB Ray Rice is a great fantasy play. Take the Ravens.
Check out more Football betting picks at our Sportsbook
Seattle (5-7) at Houston (5-7) (-6)
Rumblings have Houston coach Gary Kubiak in trouble and this is desperation time for a Texans team that should be playing better. Neither team has much of a run game, meaning Matt Schaub versus Matt Hasselbeck. Take Schaub; take the Texans.

NFL Power Rankings Week 12
Here are some NFL Power Rankings for Week 12 (Last week's ranking is in brackets):
1 (1) Indianapolis Colts (10-0) Can the team go 16-0? Somewhere Mercury Morris is crapping his pants.
2 (2) New Orleans Saints (10-0) Don't believe me that the Saints are among the NFL elite. Listen to Bill Belichick, who said that the Saints are the best team in the NFL. Of course, Belichick may have said that to lull the Saints into a sense of security. Damn you, Belichick! You're so devious.
3 (3) Minnesota Vikings (9-1) Brett Favre for MVP. Uh, no.
4 (5) New England Patriots (7-3) Can we now get past the whole Belichick 4th and 2 call? Football people say it was a bad call; math nerds say it was the right call. We get it.
5 (10) San Diego Chargers (7-3) The Chargers defense needs to stay out of bars and away from Tila Tequila.
6 (4) Cincinnati Bengals (7-3) The Bengals were stymied by the juggernaut that is Bruce Gradkowski.
7 (7) Dallas Cowboys (7-3) Their win over the Redskins felt like a loss.
8 (8) Arizona Cardinals (7-3) That Beanie Wells is coming along nicely.
9 (11) Philadelphia Eagles (6-4) For once, Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb showed they can engineer a fourth-quarter comeback.
10 (6) Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) The Steelers really need to do something about special teams.
