If you are Andrew Luck, how do you respond after a straight-up loss? Pretty well, as it applies to those who may be engaged in Monday night football betting this week. Let’s put it this way – prior to last week’s 27-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Indianapolis Colts had lost fifteen games with Luck as their quarterback, and he has responded by going 14-1 against the pointspread after those defeats. That has truly been a trend people have come to rely on.

And maybe that is pretty rough news for the New York Jets, who are somewhat giddy after winning their first game under new coach Todd Bowles, beating the Cleveland Browns 31-10.

We probably don’t have to explain that there is a world of difference between the quarterback the Jets faced last weekend and the one they will face on Monday. Cleveland had to go quickly with Johnny Manziel after Josh McCown went down, and although Manziel threw a touchdown pass, he was also overmatched in many situations. Luck, it goes without saying, is much more composed.
