Good morning, everyone. The Simple Handicap for Wednesday, October 5th. Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

And if it sounds like I'm talking into a bit of a tin can for the first time here on the podcast,

well, you're getting a little bit of a tin can treatment here on a Wednesday morning.

On the move, forgot the cable to the microphone at home, putting me in a bit of a difficult situation.

So just going straight into the MacBook. Try to make it sound as good as I can.

But bear with me here for two days as we sort out the temporary sound issues that will not hamper the show.

Anything beyond Thursday afternoon. With all that said, let's get to the market rundown here on a

Wednesday morning. Things kick off. NFL week number five tomorrow night in Denver.

Broncos hosting the Indianapolis Colts, Denver, a three-point favorite minus 120 across the board.

Circa is the market low currently three minus 115 total holding steady at 43 and a half across the board.

There was a release on the Indianapolis Colts from a better yesterday afternoon.

That took some of the 3.5s that were remaining down to a flat 3 vigged up minus 120 as we're sitting here this morning. Jonathan Taylor,

in my opinion, reading the reports, getting the alerts, looking back and forth, I would be

surprised if he's out there to play. Some of the wording and how he phrased it just didn't leave

me with a strong confidence that he's going to be out there. Usually when you see players

dancing around it like that, it's not a good sign. And with this rumored to be a high ankle

sprain, I think it's just being downplayed, especially on the short week. So see what happens,

but I would be shocked if he's in there. And I really think that makes a difference for this

Colts offense, which has been struggling

all season long. On the Denver side, Russell Wilson back at practice, he looks like he's going to be

a full good. There were rumors there, but it didn't appear to ever be an impact within the market

and his status may have never been in question. Kind of sitting here, this is a tough game
