For the Thursday night game we have a battle between two teams I had much higher hopes for going into this season and both have been underwhelming to say the least.
The Broncos have what I called to be a Super Bowl caliber roster last season and were only missing a quarterback. They got their quarterback and thus far he absolutely stinks.
This time of year is always tough on teams that are struggling out of the gate because to these pros they know that the season is just starting and there is a long way to go but fans and bettors are impatient.
I am still not throwing in the towel on the Broncos they have far too much talent to just be dead. The Colts on the other hand I don’t know what to make of.
Be that as it may, let’s dig into this thing shall we?
Indianapolis Colts
The Colts are just god awful right now and they have a lot of ground to make up.
Their opponents red zone scoring percentage that results in a touchdown is at 80% right now and their own is at 46%. They are also averaging a mere 12.3 points per game while giving up on average 21.3.
It’s really ugly right now in Indy and I don’t mean to dunk on them, I like this team and I thought they’d be much better. Time will tell.
Denver Broncos
The Broncos find themselves in a similar situation. While they have much more talent on offence at least on paper, their struggles continue as they just dropped a sloppy one to the Raiders on Sunday.
Now what is encouraging about this squad however is their defence. They have some impressive stats on that side of the ball.
They obviously did not get it done against the Raiders but they still remain at the top of the league in some of the most important categories.
They are #1 in the league at red zone scoring resulting in a touchdown allowing them only 30.00% of the time. The flipside unfortunately is that they are #32 in that same stat on offence.

4* Free Week 4 NFL Betting Prediction: Broncos -3.5
I am laying the points with the Broncos here. I honestly don’t think the Colts stand a chance.
It’s a bad matchup for the Colts especially on the road. The Broncos are going to be without Javonte so that is clearly a huge blow to this roster but nonetheless I am taking the boys in orange.
