7* NFL Best Bet: Indianapolis vs Denver
(NFL) Indianapolis vs. Denver,
Total: 42.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
Im not known as one that will pay many Overs, but I will be doing so in this game. Both Teams are missing their top running backs and that means we should see a few more balls in the air. Granted, both teams have been solid against the pass this year, but Denver is missing Saftey P.J. Locke and a couple of linebackers for this one, while the Colts are without Saftey Julian Blackmon and defensive end Tyquan Lewis. The Colts are last in the league in scoring but they are 10th in passing and I expect them to convert more of their yards into points in this one. Denver has Russell Wilson at QB and he finally had a solid show for the Broncos last week, throwing for 237 yards with two TDs and no INTS. Now let's look at some trends. the last five meetings between these teams here in Denver have seen the Over go 5-1-1 and 50.3 ppg being scored. We also note that all teams in game five with an OU Line of 46 or less that have gone under in their first four games (Colts) have seen the Over go 11-2 the last five years. Lastly, the Over is 6-1 in Indy last 7 games in Week 5 and 7-3 in Denver's last 10 games in Week 5. We go against the grain here with a strong play on the Over.
