The Indianapolis Colts play the New England Patriots Saturday. Here are the odds and a prediction for the Week 15 matchup.
The Indianapolis Colts return from their Week 14 bye at 7-6 and hold playoff positioning for the first time this season. Thanks to some favorable outcomes in Week 14, Indianapolis was able to jump into the sixth seed without even playing a game.
As a reward, the Colts will play the No. 1 team in the AFC, the New England Patriots. The Patriots are also coming off a bye week and they will bring a seven-game winning streak into this Week 15 matchup.
Indy will need to snap this winning streak if it wants to hold on to its playoff positioning. The push for the wild card spots in the AFC is crowded, and one loss could be the difference from the sixth seed or dropping down to No. 11 in the conference.
Colts vs Patriots odds Week 15
According to the odds at WynnBET, Indianapolis is the favorite to win at -140 (bet $140 to win $100). New England is +120 underdogs (bet $100 to win $120). Many may find these odds interesting considering the Patriots’ winning streak, but oddsmakers are leaning towards Indy in a close game.
The spread is set at 2.5 points with both teams’ odds at -110. This means a $110 bet on the Colts to win by three or more points gets you $100, while a $110 bet on New England to not lose by more than two points gets you $100.
The over/under for this game is set at 46 points with odds of -110.
Colts vs Patriots Week 15 Prediction
This game will have everything you can ask for out of December football. Two teams playing their best, meeting in a rivalry game on Saturday Night with major playoff implications. Indy and New England are both prideful units that like to run the ball so it should be a fun strength-on-strength matchup.
The Patriots are the hot team right now but expect this game to play out as the odds have it, a close game won by Indianapolis. New England will make a serious commitment to stop the run and that will allow Carson Wentz to have success through the air.
