Interesting matchup here. Both teams coming off losses. Denver is 2-0 at home but when we look a bit closer, they have beaten the Texans who are currently 0-3. In that victory, the broncos were down 9-6 heading into the 4th quarter and out scored the Texans 10-0 in the 4th which lead to a final score of 16-9. To the average bettor, seems like an easy win for Denver but if you watched that game closely the broncos struggled that game. Wilson was 14/31 for only 219 yards and threw 1TD and 1 int. They were also 3 for 12 on 3rd down conversions. As a -10.5 point favorite, that game was not impressive. Let’s be real, Davis Mills who gets paid roughly 1.2M a year almost kept up with RW who is making nearly 60M a year. Laughable.
Anyway onto their next home game where they played the 49ers. This was arguably the worst football game I’ve ever watched in my entire life. I almost flipped the channels to watch WNBA…. Jk

but if we look at this shit show of a game…. The broncos won the game 11-10. Yes, that was the final score. Wilson threw for 184 yards 20/33. With 0 touchdowns. 49ers actually outgained them in yards by only 6 but still outgained them. Denver also had possession for 34 mins vs 25 mins for the 9ers. Not an impressive win by any means.

all of this to say, the broncos have not been impressive at all this season. Underperforming in almost every aspect except their defense. Where even in that category, against the rush they have played mediocre to poor. Allowing 114 yards per game and ranking 18th in rush defense. Also Javonte Williams will be out for the season so this will hurt the broncos run game.

lets look at the colts…. Who also have played very poorly so far. Losing against the titans AT Indianapolis last week. Poor performance where they were down 14-0 early and couldn’t manage to make a comeback. Leonard was also back last game so their defense had him for a few snaps but he left early due to concussion protocols and is ruled out against the broncos. The colts only win this season was against the chiefs as a 6 point underdog. Impressive victory that game but Mahomes played a subpar game. Colts defense stood strong but the colts offense continued to struggle. Their offense ranks last in the league in scoring.
Both teams have a lot of talent on their teams but their QBs have yet to piece it together. This game will be ugly. I strongly believe this is a FG game either way and I have bet on the colts +3.5. Held my nose during this one and probably should just wait for a live bet but I can’t help myself. Good luck. Inputs and thoughts are very much appreciated.

Also notes about colts last game against the titans.

titans sacked fumble Matt Ryan in the colts territory which lead to a TD by the titans and then a few possessions later on offense had a tipped pass int which also lead to a TD. Needless to say, kind of everything went against them that game and still only lost by a TD. They held the titans to 0 points in the second half. But still came up short. I think they perform much better this week against the broncos.

No opinion on a win or even a cover
Feels like Colts SU or Broncos likely roll 10-17 point victory if they win
That is about all the input I got
Can't quite feel it out
Hope the Colts cover

I am going with my gut. I think colts find a way to pull the cover and pull off the win. Better games on Sunday but I’m not patient enough.

Tough game to CAP. Personally I feel Wilson gets going tonight. Just can't see Matt Ryan beating him in Mile high. Good luck @

Lean under. If this game was being played in my back yard, I would close the drapes

And both of Ryan's picks are pathetic
