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.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Indianapolis Colts prop predictions for Week 14

Highlighting five prop bet predictions for the Indianapolis Colts in their Week 14 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Indianapolis Colts (8-4) will take on the Las Vegas Raiders (7-5) Sunday afternoon in a huge AFC matchup. Kickoff will be at 4:05 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium. To prepare you for this game, here are five prop bet predictions for the Colts you can make at BetMGM.

RB Jonathan Taylor OVER 53.5 rushing yards (-105)

After putting together back-to-back games with at least 90 rushing yards, Taylor is starting to look like the player we saw at Wisconsin. He faces a Raiders’ defense that allowed over 200 yards rushing to the New York Jets last week. Look for Taylor to see double-digit carries in this game and to easily eclipse 53.5 yards on the ground.

WR T.Y Hilton OVER 54.5 receiving yards (-112)

Hilton had his first breakout game of the 2020 season in Week 13, catching eight passes for 110 yards and one touchdown. For whatever reason, he loves facing the Houston Texans defense.

This week, he will face a beat-up Raiders defense that will be missing CB Damon Arnette. Look for Hilton to see double-digit targets again in Week 14 and clear 54.5 receiving yards.

PK Rodrigo Blankenship OVER 2.5 made extra points (-120)

One of my favorite prop bets each week is betting on kickers to go over on extra points made. I don’t know why it’s so thrilling, but it is. Look for the Colts to score at least 3 touchdowns in this game and for Blankenship to connect on every kick.

Colts OVER 29.5 points (+130)

Both teams are going to want to run the ball in this game, but look for the Colts to have a ton of success against this lackluster Raiders defense. If QB Philip Rivers can get hot in the passing game, look for the Colts to score into the mid-30s. This should turn into a shootout in Las Vegas.

Taylor to score multiple touchdowns (+500)

As previously mentioned, Taylor has played well in his last two games. Could this be the game he finally breaks out in a big way? Look for the Colts to give him multiple opportunities in the red zone and for the former Wisconsin star to break a few long runs, as well.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Denver Broncos prop predictions for Week 14

Highlighting five player prop bet predictions for the Denver Broncos in their Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers.

The Denver Broncos (4-8) take on the Carolina Panthers (4-8) as both teams look to build some momentum for the 2021 season. Kickoff for this Week 14 matchup is set for 1 p.m. E.T. at Bank of America Stadium. Here are five Broncos team and player prop bets to consider from the BetMGM game menu.

Denver Broncos Week 14 prop bet predictions

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:15 a.m. ET.

QB Drew Lock OVER 236.5 passing yards (-105)

Lock is coming off a tough Week 13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs where he threw for only 151 yards and 2 interceptions. Denver tried to use the running game to keep Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes off the field and it nearly worked.

This week, look for Denver to air it out more and for Lock to go over 236.5 yards. In the five games before Week 13, Lock was averaging 268.4 passing yards per game. Don’t be surprised if we see that version of Lock on Sunday.

WR Jerry Jeudy OVER 41.5 receiving yards (-115)

Through 12 games, Jeudy has 594 yards. Over the last two weeks, he has caught just one pass for five yards. Given his frustrations in the offense, don’t be surprised if Denver forces him the ball a ton against a pretty weak secondary.

Lock OVER 1.5 passing touchdowns (+115)

Can Lock have a big passing game on Sunday? We think so as we picked him to go over 236.5 passing yards. Can he throw multiple passing touchdowns? Against this Carolina defense, that might not be all that hard. At +115, those odds are pretty good for a secondary with so much youth.

RB Melvin Gordon OVER 71.5 total yards (-105)

Gordon totaled 142 yards on 16 touches against the Chiefs and is coming off his best game of the season. It’s clear the Broncos believe he is their lead back and would be wise to continue to use him more in the run game. The projection of 71.5 total yards might be tough to clear, but his home-run speed makes this a reasonable line. Take the Over, hoping Gordon sees close to 20 touches.

Jeudy to score 2 or more touchdowns (+1400)

Jeudy has just two touchdowns on the season. The quarterback play has been inconsistent and that has led to up-and-down production for the rookie receiver. This sets up as a huge game for Jeudy and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he got into the end zone multiple times in this game. At 14-1 odds, these are too good to pass up.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Indianapolis Colts prop predictions for Week 13

Highlighting five prop bet predictions for the Indianapolis Colts in their Week 13 game against the Houston Texans.

The Indianapolis Colts (7-4) will take on the Houston Texans (4-7) Sunday afternoon in an AFC South matchup. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET at NRG Stadium. To prepare you for this game, here are five prop bet predictions for the Colts you can make at BetMGM.

Indianapolis Colts Week 13 prop bet predictions

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:50 a.m. ET.

RB Jonathan Taylor OVER 48.5 rushing yards (-125)

After returning from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, Taylor is expected to return to the starting lineup. That hasn’t always meant much as he combined for 61 yards in his hast three starts prior to running for 90 yards in Week 11. He will face a soft Texans run defense Sunday and could have several long runs. Expect him to see 12-15 carries in this game and hit the Over on rushing yards.

PK Rodrigo Blankenship OVER 2.5 made extra points (+100)

Expecting the Colts to score a bunch in Week 13? Then consider taking Blankenship to make more than 2.5 extra points. At even odds, it’s good value for a placekicker who has made 27 of 29 extra points this season. Against one of the worst defenses in the NFL, the Colts should score three or more touchdowns, allowing the Over to hit here.

WR T.Y. Hilton OVER 43.5 yards (-105)

Hilton has loved playing the Texans throughout his career. In 17 career games against the Texans (including the postseason), he has caught 90 passes for 1,622 yards and 10 touchdowns. Houston will be without several of its top defensive backs once again this week and that could mean another big day for Hilton.

Colts OVER 30.5 points (+145)

Indianapolis has scored at least 26 points in three straight games, all of which were against tough opponents. Against a Texans team that is without several key cornerbacks, scoring could come at a rapid pace. If you like rooting for points, this is the bet for you.

Colts to win by 1-6 points (+310)

The Colts are clearly the better and more talented team, but Texans QB Deshaun Watson has played well of late. Look for this to be a close divisional matchup that likely comes down to the final possession. At +310, the Colts to win by 1-6 points seems like a great bet if you think the Texans will hang around for awhile.

Highlighting five prop bet predictions for the Indianapolis Colts in their Week 12 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

The Indianapolis Colts (7-3) host the Tennessee Titans (7-3) Sunday afternoon in a huge AFC South matchup. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium. To prepare you for this game, here are five prop bet predictions for the Colts you can make at BetMGM.

QB Philip Rivers UNDER 284.5 passing yards (-118)

On paper, this would seem like a bad bet. The Titans have one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL and the Colts are without rookie RB Jonathan Taylor due to COVID-19 protocols.

Look for the Colts to find a way to establish the run and take the ball out of Rivers’ hands. He will certainly have some chances to expose this secondary, but take the Under on passing yards here.

WR Michael Pittman Jr. OVER 54.5 receiving yards (-110)

While WR T.Y. Hilton is the biggest “name” in the Colts’ wide receiver group, Pittman has developed into the team’s top passing option. Over the last three games, he has totaled 223 yards and one touchdown on just 14 receptions.

He has cleared 52.5 yards in three straight games and shouldn’t have any problem doing it again this week against a secondary that will be without stud CB Adoree’ Jackson. Take the Over on receiving yards for the USC rookie.

TE Mo Alie-Cox to go OVER 20.5 receiving yards (-106)

The Colts might have the deepest tight end room in the NFL, but they also have a star in the making in Alie-Cox. He’s one of the league’s biggest tight ends and is a playmaker.

His usage in the offense is inconsistent despite playing 46% of the snaps, but look for him to catch a few long passes Sunday and go over 20.5 yards, even in a reserve role.

RB Nyhiem Hines UNDER 81.5 total yards (-106)

Without Taylor in the lineup, Hines figures to get more work. He will split touches with Jordan Wilkins, making both players less valuable for fantasy purposes. Look for Hines to catch 4 or 5 passes in this game, but for him to come under the 81.5 total yards.

WR Michael Pittman Jr to score 2 or more touchdowns (+1400)

Pittman scored the first touchdown of his career in Week 11 on a long reception from Rivers. Given the size advantage he will have over the Titans’ defensive backs, it’s not hard to see why Rivers might target him in the red zone a couple of times in Week 12.

He knows how to box out defenders and could be in for a monster day. At 14-1 odds, this is a fun bet to put a few dollars on and watch the rookie work.

Highlighting five prop bet predictions for the Indianapolis Colts in their Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

The Indianapolis Colts (6-3) host the Green Bay Packers (7-2) Sunday afternoon. Kickoff will be at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium. To prepare you for this game, here are five prop bets for the Colts you can make, courtesy of BetMGM.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor UNDER 46.5 total yards (-115)

One of the biggest disappointments this season has been the play of Taylor for the Colts. When the Colts drafted him 41st overall, many believed he was a lock for 1,000 total yards and double-digit touchdowns, but he has looked more like a bust rather than a star.

Over the last three games, he’s averaging just 33 yards from scrimmage. With RBs Nyhiem Hines and Jordan Wilkins both outplaying him, take the Under on total yards for the former Wisconsin running back.

Colts RB Nyhiem Hines OVER 62.5 total yards (-115)

If you believe Taylor could struggle in this game, bet the Over on total yards for Hines. His speed and quickness are a better fit against a slow Packers defense and his ability to win in the passing game is what keeps him on the field. Hines doesn’t need a ton of touches to reach the Over here, but a day of 10-12 touches should be sufficient.

Colts PK Rodrigo Blankenship OVER 6.5 kicking points (-129)

This game like a low-scoring contest that could turn into a kicking battle. Blankenship has been excellent in the kicking game this season, making 19 of 21 field goals, and he has made every field goal (11-11) in the Colts’ last six games and it is clear the coaching staff is trusting him more. Look for him to attempt and make two or more field goals in Week 11.

Colts RB Nyhiem Hines to score first IND TD (+375)

When the Colts get close to the end zone, Hines is one of their favorite players. Despite just 78 touches this season, he has scored six touchdowns. Against a really slow and poor linebacker corps, Hines could have a mismatch in the red zone. At +375, he is a good bet to be the team’s first touchdown scorer in Week 11.

Colts QB Philip Rivers OVER 0.5 interceptions (-121)

One of my favorite bets every week is betting on Rivers to throw an interception. While he doesn’t throw one every week, he sure gives his opponents plenty of chances. Against a really good secondary, look for Rivers to throw at least one interception against the Packers.

RB Jonathan Taylor UNDER 56.5 total yards (+100)

Taylor sat on the bench for most of the game after a first-half fumble last week. While it’s unclear if he will get his starting job back this week, he just can’t be trusted at this point. His efficiency is down in the run game and he doesn’t get enough work in the passing game yet as the team has better options. Look for Taylor to disappoint again this week and go Under 56.5 total yards from scrimmage.

QB Philip Rivers to throw OVER 0.5 interceptions (-129)

If you want a safe bet for the Thursday Night Football game to wager on, take Rivers to throw at least one interception against the Titans. Through eight games, Rivers has seven interceptions on the season and that feels low considering how many chances opposing defensive backs have had to pick him off. Look for the Titans’ talented secondary to grab at least one interception tonight against the former All-Pro passer.

PK Rodrigo Blankenship OVER 1.5 field goals (+100)

The Colts have had problems scoring in the red zone this season and that has led to far too many field goal attempts. In a divisional matchup like this, points will come at a premium. Look for rookie kicker Blankenship to attempt multiple field goals in this contest and connect on more than 1.5 on Thursday Night Football. He has been one of the league’s most accurate kickers this season, making 17 of his 19 attempts.

TE Mo Alie-Cox to be first Colts TD scorer (+1000)

If you are searching for a long-shot bet in this game, considering taking Alie-Cox to be Indianapolis’ first touchdown scorer. When the Colts get into the red zone, they love to target their massive tight end. With Jack Doyle likely out for this game, it increases the chances of Alie-Cox being on the field near the end zone.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Denver Broncos prop bet predictions for Week 9

Highlighting five Denver Broncos prop bet predictions ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Denver Broncos (3-4) will travel to the East Coast to take on the Atlanta Falcons (2-6) Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. E.T. With a win, Denver would be right back in the thick of things in the AFC West division and for a potential AFC wild-card spot. To prepare you for that game, here are five Broncos team and player prop bets to consider for Week 9.

Denver Broncos Week 9 prop bet predictions

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:10 a.m. ET.

Broncos OVER 21.5 points (-139)

The Broncos offense has been hit or miss this season as they are averaging only 21.0 points per game. They should get back on track in Week 9 as they will take on a Falcons’ defense that has allowed 28.0 points per game. Expect Denver to score at least three touchdowns and go over 21.5 points.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon OVER 43.5 rushing yards (-112)

It’s been an up-and-down season for Gordon, but look for him to have a big game in Week 9 against Atlanta. While the Falcons have been good stopping the run this year, teams just haven’t tried all that often given how sloppy their pass defense has been. Look for Gordon to see around 12 carries and easily exceed the 43.5 rushing yard total set for him.

Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy OVER 47.5 receiving yards (-115)

Atlanta’s defense is allowing 311.4 passing yards per game this season and that is good news for Denver’s inconsistent pass offense. It’s also good news for Jeudy, who saw 10 targets last week against the Los Angeles Chargers. Against one of the league’s worst secondaries, look for Jeudy to see a similar workload this week and smash the Over on receiving yards.

Broncos QB Drew Lock’s longest completion OVER 37.5 yards

As previously mentioned, the Falcons have the second-worst passing defense in the NFL. They allow big play after big play as their young secondary is still catching up to the speed of the NFL. Look for Lock to take multiple shots down the field in this game and complete at least one pass beyond 38 yards.

Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy to score 2 or more touchdowns (+1200)

Jeudy has caught just one touchdown and has yet to go over 75 yards in any single game; however, Week 9 sets up as a potential breakout game for the rookie considering the matchups he will have on the outside. At +1200, Jeudy is a good bet to get into the end zone at least once and should have multiple scoring opportunities in this one. Don’t be surprised if this prop hits as this is a prime matchup for him.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Indianapolis Colts prop bet predictions for Week 9

Highlighting five Indianapolis Colts prop bet predictions ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Indianapolis Colts (5-2) host the Baltimore Ravens (5-2) in Week 9 as both of these teams are currently fighting to stay alive in their respective divisions. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET. To prepare you for this game, here are five prop bets for the Colts you can make, courtesy of BetMGM.

Indianapolis Colts Week 9 prop bet predictions

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:30 a.m. ET.

RB Jonathan Taylor UNDER 50.5 rushing yards (-118)

After huge expectations entering the season, the rookie Taylor has actually been a disappointment. He’s been outproduced by the likes of Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins and just hasn’t been as effective as many hoped. In Week 9, he will face a tough test as the Ravens have one of the league’s best run defenses. Don’t expect him to have a ton of success and for the Colts to split up their backfield work between three different players.

QB Philip Rivers OVER 34.5 passing attempts (-167)

If the Colts can’t run the ball, look for them to put the game in the hands of their Pro Bowl quarterback. The Colts will utilize the short passing game and will look to put together long drives. Don’t be surprised if Rivers approaches 40 passing attempts in this one.

RB Hines OVER 25.5 receiving yards (-115)

If Rivers does throw the ball a bunch in this game, look for him to target his running backs a ton. Hines is the team’s best option out of the backfield and should easily see five or more targets in this game. Hines is explosive and will have a mismatch against Baltimore’s linebackers. Look for him to catch three or four passes in this contest and easily exceed 25.5 receiving yards.

Rivers to throw OVER 0.5 interceptions (-134)

Nearly every week, Rivers has five or six passes that should be intercepted. Against a talented Ravens’ defense, expect them to get their hands on at least a few passes. Look for Rivers to potentially throw multiple interceptions in this game, especially if the team is forced to rely on him too much.

Hines to score 2 or more touchdowns (+700)

With how stout Baltimore’s defense is, look for the Colts to use Hines a ton out of the backfield and in the red zone. We have already seen how much Rivers likes targeting him in the end zone and this sets up as a strong week for Hines to potentially score multiple touchdowns. At +700, the odds are just too good to pass up.

NFL Prop Bet Payday: Bank on these 5 Tennessee Titans prop bet predictions

Highlighting five Tennessee Titans prop bet predictions ahead of their Week 8 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Tennessee Titans (5-1) are at Paul Brown Stadium for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff against the Cincinnati Bengals (1-5-1). Below, we give you five prop bet predictions from the BetMGM game menu to consider for the Titans-Bengals Week 8 matchup.

5 Tennessee Titans prop bet predictions to make in Week 8

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:35 a.m. ET.

QB Ryan Tannehill UNDER 0.5 interceptions (-139)

Tannehill is on the shortlist of most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL. He has the lowest bad throw percentage, seventh-highest on-target percentage and sixth-highest completion percentage above expectation, according to NFL’s Next Gen Stats. There’s no reason for him to force the ball into tight windows in this game because there isn’t a weakness this terrible Bengals defense could exploit.

QB Ryan Tannehill OVER 11.5 rushing yards (-110)

This might be old information but Tannehill actually played wide receiver in college and has some wheels. Tannehill is fifth in yards per scramble and he’s averaging 13.7 rushing yards per game.

The Titans have a pretty good receiving corps and I could see Tennessee spreading out the Bengals, Cincinnati matching up with man coverage and forgetting to watch Tannehill in the backfield. Also, this prop can cash at any time and isn’t dictated by usage.

Titans team total OVER 27.5 points (-139)

The Titans have the fourth-highest points per game (31.3) and Cincinnati’s defense is 21st in PPG allowed (27.7). Tennessee’s only down offensive games were against top-10 defenses of the Denver Broncos in Week 1 and Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7.

This offense can score on the ground or in the air and the Bengals don’t have the personnel on their side to keep the Titans off the field. At best they’ll get some chunk plays and quick touchdowns but sustaining drives probably won’t happen. The Titans will clear four touchdowns easily.

TE Jonnu Smith OVER 36.5 receiving yards (-115)

The Bengals give up the most fantasy points per game to tight ends and Smith is one of the best tight ends in the league. He is tied for the most touchdowns by a tight end, is the third among tight ends in yards after the catch per reception and is getting an above-average 16.8% of his team’s targets. 

We are getting a lower number here because Smith has been hobbled by injury over the past couple of games and hasn’t been getting the targets he’s accustomed to. Smith should have his best game of the season in this matchup.

Anytime Titans defensive player TD (+350)

Tennessee’s pass defense isn’t highly heralded but there is talent all over the secondary. The Titans have the third-most takeaways in the NFL (12) but are yet to score a defensive touchdown. I like the Titans to get an early lead then to use their ground game to control the tempo and pad the lead.

How that helps Tennessee’s secondary is that it’s going to force the Bengals into a negative game script and they’ll be throwing the ball a lot to catch up. Look for CB Malcolm Butler or FS Kevin Byard to jump a route and take one to the house.
