Colts at Patriots picks and predictions

Prediction

Patriots 24, Colts 20

Moneyline

The Colts have allowed 21 or more points in 6 straight games. They have only scored more than 20 once in that stretch.

The Pats have allowed 28 and 34 the last 2 weeks but did not allow more than 22 in their previous 3 games.

Neither team has been reliable this season. The Pats are 1-4 at home while the Colts are 2-4 on the road, but it feels like the Pats are beginning to ascend, the result of last week’s game aside.

The Colts have been very uneven offensively and that will continue.

BET PATRIOTS (+120).

Against the spread

The Colts have been a good bet to cover the spread as they are 8-4 ATS overall this season. However, they are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games.

The Pats did not cover the spread in their last 2 games but did so in the previous 3. Of the 4 games this season in which they covered the spread, 3 were outright wins.

So if you like the Pats to cover, there is a good bet they will win and you get plus-odds with the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

Five of the last 7 games for the Pats have finished with more than 42 total points.

Three of the last 5 for the Colts have as well.

BET OVER 42.5 (-110).
