The math is pretty simple for the visiting Colts: win in Denver or else. Losing would put a monster dent in their playoff hopes, sending their playoff chances down to 10%, with major collapses from other AFC teams down the stretch to find a playoff slot.

Denver boasts the second-best scoring defense in the NFL, allowing just 18 points per game. Save for their last game, a 41-32 shootout win over the Cleveland Browns, the Broncos have held nine of their previous 11 opponents to 19 points or less.

They’ve been even more lethal against the lesser lights in the league. The schedule maker has gifted them their third straight opponent with a losing record, and they’ve feasted on sub-.500 clubs this year, going 5-0.

Bo Nix has also been the far better pivot in this battle of first-year quarterbacks. While Anthony Richardson has just recently gotten his starting job back, Nix, has hit the accelerator of late, averaging 291.3 yards passing over his last three games, with seven TD passes against two picks.

Denver has won three straight at home, averaging 35.7 points per game. The Colts are just outside the Bottom-10 in scoring, and don’t have enough punch to keep up in this biggie.

IND vs DEN Player Props

The Colts vs Broncos player props have a wide disparity with the starting QB passing yards. Nix is set at 236.5, while Richardson’s line is way down at 187.5.

Indy running back Jonathan Taylor has the highest rushing total, at 71.5 O/U, while Denver’s platoon of Jaleel McLaughlin and Javonte Williams are both Under 40 yards.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is the only pass catcher with a receiving yards line over 70, at 71.5 O/U.

Best Colts vs Broncos Odds
