There’s a silly amount of money being wagered on the Colts to beat the Raiders in Week 10

Sometimes you place a bet with logic. Sometimes you place a bet based purely on vibes.

There might not be a bigger mess of a team in the NFL right now than the Indianapolis Colts—though, I will admit, the competition for that title is fierce.

The team has no definitive quarterback, it’s star running back has been injured/unproductive for most of the year and, after cleaning house on the sidelines, former offensive lineman Jeff Saturday has been tabbed to lead the club in the interim despite minimal sideline experience under even the most generous definition. Which is to say nothing of an entire organization of more qualified options at Indianapolis’ disposal.

So naturally there’s big money being wagered on the Colts to defeat the Raiders straight up this weekend.

According to Action Network, 84 percent of the handle on the moneyline is on the Colts (+185) despite Indianapolis only getting 14 percent of all ML bets. At BetMGM the trend holds true. The Colts are getting 68 percent of all ML bets and 65 percent of the money wagered.

It’s certainly a choice.

On the one hand, the Colts have been outscored 228-185 this season and have just one road win (12-9 over the Broncos on a truly awful Thursday Night in Week 5). On the other hand, the new coach in Indiana had this to say about his first opponent right before he accepted the Colts job:

The Raiders (-4.5) are still seeing 63 percent of all bets to cover the spread as well as 78 percent of the money wagered there—which isn’t exactly good news for sportsbooks, either.
