4* Free Week 8 NFL Betting Prediction: Indianapolis -1
The line here opened with the Saints at 1.5 point road favorites. The Colts money has now pushed it in the other direction.
39-38. The Colts lost their second straight as Gardner Minshew committed 4 turnovers — three of which Cleveland turned into scores with the last one sealing the win for the Browns.
One of the best games we watched this year and the Colts just came up short. Now they have to find a way to bounce back, and I think they can, and will.
New Orleans are 1-4 SU and ATS in their last 5 games, and INDY are 4-2 ATS in their last 6.
All in all, Indianapolis’ offense is coming off a good performance vs. Cleveland and should carry that momentum into this week’s matchup vs. New Orleans.
Coming in as the 1-point favorites at home, I like Indianapolis to cover the spread.
Heading into this matchup, New Orleans’ games have averaged 37.1 points per game. Given that the over/under line for this matchup is at 43, I’m taking the under. My model has this one at 40.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Indy’s last 5 games against New Orleans, and the total has gone UNDER in 12 of the Saints’ last 13 games.
