Peyton Manning and the Colts will try to pick up a victory as road favorites against the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

The Gridiron Spotlight<\/strong><\/o:P><\/p>\n

The Colts are back over the .500 mark at 3-2 (2-3 ATS) after picking up back-to-back wins over the Texans and Ravens. That still leaves them with ground to make up on the first-place Titans (who they’ll play next week) in the AFC South, but they’ll gun for their third straight win on Sunday afternoon against the 3-3 (3-3 ATS) Packers at Lambeau Field. The oddsmakers have Indy pegged as a 1-point road favorite, with a total of 47.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Titans will be looking run their record to a perfect 6-0 (and 6-0 ATS) when they play a road game against the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon. Tennessee<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:STATE> slipped past Baltimore<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> 13-10 two weeks ago – they had a bye last week. Kansas City<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> (1-4, 2-3 ATS) was also off last week, but they were blasted 34-0 by the Panthers prior to that down time. The Titans are favored by 8.5 points on the road, while the total is at 35.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

Other games on the NFL’s Sunday schedule: San Diego<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Buffalo<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> (pick’em<\/span>), Minnesota<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:STATE> at Chicago<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> (-3), Pittsburgh<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> (-9.5) at Cincinnati<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>, Dallas<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> (-7) at St. Louis<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>, Baltimore<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Miami<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> (-3), San Francisco<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at the Giants (-10.5), New Orleans<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Carolina<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> (-3), Detroit<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Houston<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> (-9), the Jets (-3) at Oakland<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>, and Cleveland<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Washington<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:STATE> (-7.5). As well, the Sunday nighter<\/span> will feature Seattle<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Tampa<\/st1:PLACENAME> Bay<\/st1:PLACETYPE><\/st1:PLACE>, with the Bucs favored by 10.5 points.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

Other Notable Events<\/strong><\/o:P><\/p>\n

The Red Sox and Rays will play Game 7 of the American League Championship Series on Sunday, after Boston roared back to tie the best-of-seven set with a win on Saturday.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

Jon Lester will get the ball for Boston<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> on Sunday. The lefthander was tagged for a loss by the Rays earlier in the series, surrendering five runs (four earned) on eight hits over 5 2-3 innings of work. The fading Rays will counter with Matt Garza, who earned a win over the Red Sox in this series by allowing just one earned run over six innings pitched.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

The Rest of the Schedule<\/strong><\/o:P><\/p>\n

Racing fans get two big events to watch on Sunday. First off it’s Formula One and the Chinese Grand Prix, with Lewis Hamilton looking to lock down first place in the drivers<\/span> championship. Hamilton<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> has a five-point lead on Felipe Massa<\/span> in those standings right now, with only two races left in the season. The hottest driver on the circuit, though, is Fernando Alonso; the Spaniard is coming off consecutive wins in Singapore<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:COUNTRY-REGION> and Japan<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:COUNTRY-REGION>.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

The Sprint Cup Series will then stage the TUMS QuikPak<\/span> 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Jimmie Johnson has a 69-point advantage on Jeff Burton in the Chase standings heading into this event, although Burton<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> is coming off a victory in last week’s Bank of America 500 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Johnson has four career<\/span> Cup wins at Martinsville Speedway, while teammate Jeff Gordon has picked up seven wins there.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

There are just two National Hockey League games on tap for Sunday – it’s Carolina<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Anaheim<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>, and Vancouver<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Chicago<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>. The Hawks will be playing their second game under new head coach Joel Quenneville<\/span>; Denis Savard<\/span> was fired Thursday afternoon.<\/o:P><\/p>\n
