Denver Broncos vs Indianapolis Colts Prediction
It feels like the Colts are getting respect from oddsmakers because of their week 1 victory, but that had more to do with the Dolphins being inept than anything else. The Colts are still a middle of the road team that loses some points, being quarterbacked by Daniel Jones. Nix didn’t look good opening week, and it’s raising questions about a sophomore slump, but the Broncos do have the best defense in the land and that elevates this squad. Jones against the best defense in the league, this has a chance to get ugly.
The Broncos are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite. I’d need to get more points to consider the Colts in this spot. This feels like a game where the Broncos are just going to bury the Colts, lean on defense and running game and grind out a win by a touchdown. Give me the Broncos.
