The Buffalo Bills (13-3) are gearing up to host the Indianapolis Colts (11-5) Saturday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. ET to kick off the 2020 NFL playoffs.
Below, we focus on NFL Colts vs. Bills prop bets to consider for their AFC Wild Card Weekend matchup from the BetMGM game menu.
5 Colts-Bills prop bets to make in NFL Wild Card Weekend
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 10 p.m. ET.
Bills QB Josh Allen OVER 25.5 yards rushing -155
Allen is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL to get on the ground, consistently making plays with his legs. Typically, he uses his mobility to extend plays and make big throws downfield, but he also takes off plenty.
He rushed for at least 28 yards in half of his games this season, so he has a good chance to top 26 yards Saturday against the Colts. It could take just one long run for him to eclipse this total. Bank on the OVER.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor OVER 77.5 yards rushing -105
Taylor has been on a tear as of late, rushing for an average of 123.5 yards per game in his last six games. What could prevent him from topping 77 yards rushing is the scoreboard.
If the Bills jump out to a big lead, it could cause the Colts to become more pass-happy and abandon the run. But if this one stays close, Taylor will get a heavy dose of carries. Look for him to get just enough action to hit at least that benchmark. Bank on the Over.

Stefon Diggs to score TD and Bills to win +100
Diggs has been a stud this season, scoring eight touchdowns in 16 games played. While three of those came against the Patriots in Week 16, he’s scored at a consistent clip this year and he and Allen are clearly on the same page.
Pairing a Diggs touchdown with a Bills win feels like a good value at +100 because this is a game Buffalo should absolutely win.
Colts QB Philip Rivers OVER 36.5 passing attempts -110
This should be a high-scoring game and assuming the Colts are playing from behind, Rivers should be throwing a lot of passes. I like him to have over 36.5 pass attempts; he has 10 games with at least 33 attempts, including six with at least 36. The game script should lead to a high volume of throws by Rivers. Bet the Over.

Bills to score OVER 14.5 points in 1st half +100
The Bills rank second in the NFL with an average of 16.6 points scored in the first half per game. Buffalo is averaging 47.3 points per game in their last three games, so the offense is really hitting its stride right now.
A hot start should put the Bills over 14 points in the first half, scoring on three possessions before halftime. Bet the Over.
