The set-up: The Colts are 2-2 and the Chiefs are 4-0. KC managed a 34-30 road win in Detroit last time out, while Indianapolis got caught looking ahead to this game after last week's upset loss at home to the Raiders. I think a similar thing is going to happen here to the now content home side and while I'm not predicting any outright upsets or anything, I do think that the Chiefs come out and try to "control" this one, rather than run their opponent off the field with a frantic pace from start to finish. And clearly Jacoby Brissett and company can't turn this one into a "track meet" and expect to beat the high-flying Chiefs at their own style of game. Instead, the visitors will also definitely be out to "control" this contest while on offense. So from an overall situational stand point, there's no question non my mind that this one sets up as more of a defensive chess match, than a wide open shootout.

The pick: However also note that Indy has seen the total go under the number in 13 of its last 19 after one or more SU losses, while KC has seen the total dip under the posted number in three of its last four as a favorite of ten points or more. This number is a tad high.

10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the UNDER Colts/Chiefs.
