NFL Preseason Betting Preview
Buffalo Bills at Indianapolis Colts
Sunday, 8:00 pm Eastern – NFL Network
SBG Global Opening Line: Colts - 3 , Total 37
Indianapolis will open up their new stadium on Sunday as they host the Buffalo Bills in preseason action. The game will be shown on NFL Network and could end up being a battle between backup quarterbacks. Normally the starters for both teams would play into the third quarter but Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning is still out and Buffalo starting quarterback Trent Edwards is questionable. That means that Jim Sorgi will get a lot of playing time for the Colts while J.P. Losman will see a lot of time for the Bills. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Colts at Home.
The Colts could have a couple of starters back in action on Sunday. Top defensive stars Bob Sanders and Dwight Freeney might play on Sunday.
Indianapolis head coach Tony Dungy has said the starters will play into the third quarter on Sunday. “I always like to do that in the third preseason game – get us playing in the third quarter so we get the feel for what we do at halftime and how we make adjustments, incorporating that into the second half. I’d say those guys would play into the third quarter for sure.” Dungy said.
The Colts lost the Hall of Fame game to Washington, lost to Carolina in week 1 in overtime and defeated Atlanta last week. Buffalo has split their two preseason games, winning last week against Pittsburgh but losing their opener against Washington.
SBG Global Current Line: Colts - 5.5 , Total 38
NFL betting stats show that this will be the fifth preseason meeting between the Colts and Bills. Indianapolis has a 3-1 preseason series edge. The two teams used to be in the same division for many years which is why they have only met four times in preseason history.
Looking at the NFL betting stats for the coaches we see that Buffalo head coach Dick Jauron has a below .500 record against the spread in his preseason career. Tony Dungy is also below the .500 mark against the pointspread in the preseason as head coach of the Colts.

Quieres Pizza?
Domino’s Pizza is using Tellme’s platform to provide the first toll-free service offering an end-to-end Spanish language pizza ordering experience. Starting now, all calls to 1-888-DOMINOS(R) will be answered with a dedicated Spanish language customer service experience. Calls will be answered with a Spanish voice service that plays special offers of the day, provides ordering options and captures information about where the caller is located to determine the local store that delivers to their location. For orders that need assistance, the caller will be connected with a Spanish-speaking representative to complete the order.
One of the most advanced features available with this service is the ability to offer personalized order options based on the caller’s phone or Web-order history. The service recognizes the caller’s phone number and relates it to previous orders to offer a more personalized experience. Once the order is placed, it is immediately sent to the local Domino’s Pizza store.

“Spanish-speaking customers are an important, and growing segment for Domino’s Pizza,” said Rob Weisberg, VP of precision and print marketing at Domino’s Pizza. “Research shows that Spanish speakers who call English automated systems, even if there is a Spanish option, have a higher hang-up rate than if the service is in their preferred language. Tellme’s platform gives us the ability to offer a consistent experience for callers and now a dedicated Spanish language service.” “As the market for voice services continues to grow, many of our clients are excited to bring the innovations of their English-based customer service to their Spanish-speaking customers, using Tellme’s platform to provide native-language voice services, personalization and intelligent call management,” said Jamie Bertasi, vice president of Business Solutions, Tellme. “We are excited to be expanding with our clients and we’re moving into this market with the same care and dedication to the end user experience as we’ve become known for with our English-based services.” 1-888-DOMINOS will launch initially in 42 states and will support nearly 2,000 Domino’s Pizza stores. this web site dominos coupon codes
