Colts vs. Broncos — under 42
On NFL Thursday Night Football, we will be rooting for 3-yard running plays and missed field goals – we’ll be pulling for the under. The Colts should do their part as they have played in nine straight unders going back to last season, with none of those games going higher than a combined 44 points. Matt Ryan’s arm isn’t what it was and if he were to run a 40-yard dash, you could time it with a calendar. The fact that Pro Bowl RB Johnathon Taylor has been ruled out for the tilt with Denver is added to their offensive doldrums. The Broncos also lost their top RB Javonte Williams to a season-ending knee injury and will have to do so with Melvin Gordon and Mike Boone. Russell Wilson’s start with the Broncos has been inauspicious as the team has struggled mightily in the red zone. They won’t catch a break on a short week going against a feisty Colts D. In a game that features 2 of the 3 worst scoring teams in the league, we’re happy to pull for long punts in the thin Mile High air. Grab under 42 at Bovada.
