Expert Pick #1 – Indianapolis Colts +7 @-105
It is going to be an interesting matchup, as both teams go to this clash after celebrating victories. The Bills want to keep the top spot, while the Colts search for a chance to stay in the playoffs race. Indianapolis covered the number eight times on the previous ten outings, and they could continue in the same fashion. I’ll take the Colts ATS as my first pick.
Expert Pick #2 – Over 50 @-110
Both teams have been pretty productive in the offense this season, and I expect another high-scoring game. Jonathan Taylor is the NFL’s best rusher, while the Bills had an excellent offensive display last time. Therefore, I’ll go for the Over as the second bet.
Expert Pick #3 – Bills & Over 44.5 @+100
Although the Colts are not without a chance in this clash, I still believe the hosts will see off their opponents. Buffalo to win ML in the game with at least 45 points seems to be a solid pick for the plus money odds, and I’m going to back it.
