Colts vs. Packers, Pre-Season Week #3 Shootout!

Tonight’s Colts @Packers game will be a shootout with two of the best QB’s in the NFL. Both Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers figure to play deep into the 2^nd half. Most sports picks sites have posted a high total above 45 for this game. Game #3 of the pre season has always been the game most coaches use to get their starters at least 3 quarters of work. The final game of the pre season has most stars watching the game from the sidelines.

Sports handicappers will finally see these two playoff teams are full strength. Forget that we are still in August both Manning and Rodgers have looked impressive in their limited action. For those who thought Rodgers has a wasted pick 5 years ago have been proven wrong now that the Packer QB has a pair of Pro Bowls appearances under his belt. In just two seasons as the Packer starter Rodgers has show the Packer faithful that the team in good hands for the next 10 years.

Both teams have the offense to make a Super Bowl run, they need to show they have the defense to play with the elite teams in the NFL. Green Bay has been focusing on defense the last few drafts. That strategy has worked as the packers have climbed to the top of the defensive charts. Indianapolis has defensive playmakers but they have always had the fineness label on their defensive unit. Colts need to be able to play smash mouth football with teams that want to run the football. Tonight game will show us witch defensive unit looks like it’s ready for the start of the season.
