RJ Bell: "Cardinals favored by 1 at home against the Colts. The look-ahead line was Arizona favored by 5 in this game. Look-ahead is from last week, you look one week ahead. At the end of the look-ahead period, it had been bet down to 3.5, so there was some Indy money then, but then the games played and the world opened with Arizona by 2.5 Sunday after the games. Then Monday it was 1.5, Tuesday it was pick-em, and now it's pick-em. So it's been a 5-point move in about a week. Can teams move 5 points this late in the year and it be justified? There weren't any major injuries in the last week. Usually, a point is the most you ever want to move a team in a week."
