Opening Line: Colts - 3

The Indianapolis Colts (9-0) quest for perfection continues on Sunday as they travel to Dallas to face the Cowboys (5-4). In one of the biggest line moves for the week, SBG Global reports that the public is all over the Colts bringing the opening line of Colts - 3 to Colts - 1. Even though the Colts only slipped by the Bills last weekend to keep their perfect season alive, they are still the favorite where ever they play.

Last year most people figured the Colts had a chance to finish unbeaten because they were blowing out teams. This year they have had only one rout. They've escaped poor teams, Buffalo and Tennessee, by one point, rallied twice in the final minutes to beat the New York Jets, and needed another late drive to win in Denver.

Indianapolis is a one point favorite with a total of 48.5 at SBG Global.

The offense hasn't had one of its record-breaking seasons. The defense has struggled. It's ranked last in the league against the run (158.3 yards per game). Coach Tony Dungy said these Colts may not look as good as last year's team, but that it may work to their advantage. "In most games, you're in the fourth quarter and you've got to make some plays to win the game," Dungy said. "So when you do that, it gives you confidence that you can do it again. It's a matter of doing what you're supposed do, not necessarily anything spectacular. That's what you have to do in the playoffs."

The schedule also may help the Colts. Last year, they faced both Super Bowl teams, Pittsburgh and Seattle, AFC North champion Cincinnati, wild-card qualifier Jacksonville and San Diego during a six-week stretch between Nov. 20 and Dec. 24. This year, the Colts have already handled the toughest part of the schedule. After Dallas and Philadelphia, the Colts visit Tennessee and Jacksonville, host the Bengals, travel to Houston and host Miami.

This game has the potential to be a good one. The Cowboys seem to have hit their stride with Tony Romo at quarterback. They easily could be 6-3 if not for another botch by overrated kicker Mike Vanderjagt. The Cowboys instead come in at 5-4 and have gotten a lot of respect from bettors around the world. The Colts opened as a 3 point favorite but are down to only a one point choice as money has come in on the Cowboys.
