If you want to spend some of your hard-earned money on some legal sports betting, this is what you should do for this game.

The Colts play their first home game of the year this Sunday. They play a Falcons team that has a little bit of confidence with them just winning against the Eagles. This game could be a little harder than what people think, and the betting line reflects that.

The line for the game has the Colts favored by 1.5 points. With that being the case, it’s essentially a pick ’em game. Giving them the 1.5 points is because the game is at home. With that being the case, you’re betting on who you think will win the game.

Even with the Falcons getting some confidence, I expect the Colts to win this game. They have played well enough to be 2-0 coming into this game, and they should win this one too. Take the Colts outright, unless you’re still scared of Adam Vinatieri missing kicks.

The over/under for this game is 47. They expect a lot of points to be scored in this one. I actually would take the under on this one. While both teams have the capability of scoring a lot, I think the defenses will play pretty well in this one.

I could see the Falcons struggling in the run game though, and that will reduce this amount of points they can score. Hopefully the Colts can keep their run game up because their passing game is the worst in the league. But taking the Colts in this game feels better than the over/under line.
