Colts vs. Jets: A bettor’s guide
By Ryan Stano
If you’re looking to do some legal sports betting, the Colts and Jets game might be an interesting game to throw some money on. Here is everything you need to know about what Vegas has to say about it.
The Colts play another road game this week, this time at the Jets. This one should be close the entire way. Neither team has a lot of talent on their roster. But as a bettor, the lines are the only thing that matters in a game like this.
The Jets are a 1.5 point favorite right now. That is a tricky line because you can’t take the Colts to cover the spread without taking them outright. With a spread like that, you have to take one team or the other to win outright.
With that being said, I would take the Colts outright. They get some players back from injury on offense and should be able to run the ball a little better with Marlon Mack back. But also with Anthony Castonzo making his debut, the pass protection should be better too.
The over/under is 45.5, which is surprising to me. That seems a little high with how these offenses have played recently. If I were betting on this game, I would take the under. The Colts defense has played pretty well for most of the year, and they should have Darius Leonard back.
Andrew Luck and company have also had issues finishing inside the red zone with touchdowns. They haven’t been able to fix those woes all year long. They might be able to score a little better in that area on Sunday, but not enough to take the over in this one.
Whichever team you choose to win, this game should be close the entire way. Enjoy the tight football game.
