This week five matchup will see the Indianapolis Colts travel to Missouri to take on the undefeated Chiefs.
Indianapolis Colts
The Colts suffered their second loss of the season, losing this past week at home to the Oakland Raiders. The final score to this game was 31-24, but the Colts scored in the final minutes to make the score look closer than it was.
The Colts had 346 total yards in this game, but the rushing game suffered considerably. On the ground they had just 81 yards. They only averaged 3.5 yards per carry, which needs to improve in this game against the Chiefs.

Jacoby Brissett went 24 of 46 in this game and did not look great. He did throw for 265 yards and three touchdowns , but he also threw a pick six to contribute to the Oakland scoring.
The defense was run over by Oakland throughout this entire game. They allowed 189 yards passing which is a good sign, but they also allowed 188 yards on the ground. They will not be able to shut down Mahomes, but if they can limit him throwing the ball, they will have a chance to keep this game close.
A big key for the Colts defense will be whether or not Darius Leonard can play. He has missed the last two weeks with a concussion. He is still listed as day to day, but if he ends up playing it will be a huge boost to this defense.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs hung on to win in Detroit by a score of 34-30. This was a game they probably should not have won, but Mahomes did what he does best and led the Chiefs on a game winning drive.
The craziest part of this game was the fact that Mahomes did not throw a touchdown pass. He went 24 of 42 on the day and threw for 315 yards. As a team, the Chiefs still managed to total 438 yards.
Their rushing offense continues to be decent at best. They had 123 yards on 25 carries. However, no one on the team rushed for more than 56 yards.
Defensively, the Chiefs once again got torched. They allowed 447 yards in total. 291 of these yards came through the air, while 186 yards were on the ground.

They allowed Kerryon Johnson to run for 125 yards by himself, so that could be an issue going forward. Luckily, the Colts do not have an explosive back like the Lions so they may be able to limit them on the ground.
The defense probably made the biggest play of the game when they recovered a fumble and ran it back for a 100 yard touchdown.
Kerryon Johnson was literally going in for a touchdown that would have given the Lions a seven-point lead, but instead it put Kansas City ahead in this game.
Forcing turnovers will be huge for this defense so that they can get their high-powered offense back on the field.
If Kansas City can win the turnover battle, they will not have much problem beating the Colts and will move to 5-0 on the season.

4* Free NFL Betting Prediction: Indianapolis Colts +10.5
The Chiefs are by far the better team and they should win this game at home without issue. However, the only problem is I have trouble laying double digits with a Chiefs defense that has not looked very impressive as whole. For that reason, I would take the Colts plus the points to keep this game with reach.
