Monday night, with Matt Schaub throwing for 305 yards and two touchdowns in
that loss. The Colts won their 10th straight game with a 17-15
victory in Baltimore last time out.
Peyton Manning threw for 299 yards in that game, with one TD and two INTs. Oddsmakers have the Colts as 3.5-point faves, with the total at 47.5 points.

Columbia in a 56-18 home win. The Roughriders picked
up a win at home in the West Final, beating Calgary
27-17. Oddsmakers have the Alouettes listed as
