Is it possible that all this hype about Peyton Manning not playing this weekend is just a move by the Colts to cause a stir? He has not been ruled out yet and everyone seems to be hush hush from the colts. 95% of the time its probaly the Colts realizing that they will absolutely suck without Peyton so therefore they dont want to talk about it. But they also just could be blowing smoke and come Sunday Manning will trot out onto the field.

Where am I going with this?

Alot of books have the Colts +9, now obviously they are getting nine points because Manning probaly will not play, but does anyone think it would be worth throwing some change at the colts now, in hopes that maybe he plays. I would take 9 points and a banged up Manning all day.

Just my two cents, maybe I am way off, maybe not

I say go for it. It's 50-50 that they'll cover without Manning, and if he plays they will cover easily.

I dont think there is any question that Manning will not play the 1st game. I doubt very much he is ingame shape so even if he did play, would probably hurt them more than help at this point. The question now is when exactly will he return if at all...

according to Aaron Schatz of FO.com no Colts player listed as "doubtful" has played since 2003
