The under is 14-3 in Colts last 17 games overall. The over is 11-5 in Raiders last 16 home games. The road team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.
The Las Vegas Raiders have burnt me all season, and I’m not excited to get behind them after they blew a massive lead last week to the Jaguars. Them losing this game at home wouldn’t surprise me. However, the Indianapolis Colts have no offense to speak of, and they just fired their head coach to move Jeff Saturday to interim head coach. Uh, what? Outside of high school coaching, Saturday has no experience and was a sports analyst for ESPN. Now he’s the head coach in the NFL? Oh, this should be fun. If the Raiders can’t win and cover this number, something is seriously wrong and heads need to roll.
