Indianapolis Colts Week 15 prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:05 a.m. ET.
Colts UNDER 30.5 points (-118)
The Colts have one of the better scoring offenses in the NFL this season, averaging 28.6 points per game. So, you would expect them to score around that range of points Sunday. However, divisional games can be unpredictable, so take the Colts to score in the mid-20’s and fall shy of the 30.5-point projection.
RB Jonathan Taylor OVER 73.5 rushing yards (-135)
Over the last few weeks, rookie RB Taylor is reminding everyone why he was so highly thought of coming out of Wisconsin. He has rushed for 331 yards on 55 carries over his last three games with another 83 yards coming as a receiver. With Houston’s run defense struggling, look for Taylor to have another big game as the Colts rely on their rookie sensation to carry them in late December.

WR T.Y. Hilton OVER 62.5 receiving yards (-110)
Hilton continues to dominate the Texans’ pass defense after catching eight passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in their Week 13 meeting. Houston’s secondary hasn’t gotten any better since then and Hilton’s in line for another big game Sunday. He’ll go for 63 or more receiving yards Sunday.
WR Michael Pittman to score a touchdown (+190)
Pittman has scored just one touchdown this season, but he remains a consistent and important part of the Colts offense. He has seen 37 targets over his last six games and the team would be wise to use his size and ball skills in the red zone. Look for him to get a few end zone targets in Week 15 and cash in at least once.
PK Rodrigo Blankenship OVER 2.5 made extra points (-135)
My favorite prop bet of the week is betting on kickers to make extra points. The Colts appear to be locks to score at least 3 touchdowns this week and Blankenship has proven to be consistent on extra-point tries. Expect him to make at least three of them today.
