Football Line

Betting players will have their eyes on the Super Bowl line a lot this week if they’re betting on the Indianapolis Colts, who have an injury worry.

Dwight Freeney led the Colts with 13 sacks in the regular season, but he hurt his right ankle in the AFC championship win over the New York Jets. It turns out that he has a third-degree sprain, which usually means a torn ligament, and he would a Superman if he could fight through it to play. It’s his right ankle, and Freeney uses a spin move that is very effective, but he plants on his right ankle, and there’s no way he would be anywhere close to 100% if he can get on the field. The Colts, however, are experienced enough to deal with this, as they’re 9-3 without Freeney in the past. They still have Robert Mathis on the other side, and the Colts have a speedy front seven that is underrated because they’re not the biggest in the league. Freeney is the only starter on either team to be in danger of missing the game, and he’ll do everything he can to play, but even if he does, he probably won’t be as effective as he usually is.
