Indianapolis Colts - NFL Betting Analysis
In week 16, the Indianapolis Colts dropped their AFC matchup against the Chargers by a score of 20-3. In terms of betting, Indianapolis not only lost the game but failed to cover the spread as 3.5 point underdog. The over-under betting total going into the game was 44, which the teams did not surpass. The Colts were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Los Angeles by a score of 13-3 heading into the final quarter. Through 15 games, the Colts have an ATS record of 6-9. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-10. This week's betting total of 39.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Colts offense is averaging 16.5 points per game, placing them 31st in the NFL. If they are going to increase their production, it will be against the league's 20th-ranked defense. Although the Colts come into the game ranked just 23rd in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a New York secondary that is vulnerable through the air. So far, the Giants are 19th in passing yards allowed. On the ground, the Colts offense is averaging just 102.8 yards per game, placing them 25th in the league.
New York Giants - NFL Betting Analysis
This week, the New York Giants are hoping to get back in the win column after falling 27-24 to the Minnesota Vikings. The loss was costly, as it came against an NFC opponent. Even though the Giants lost the game, they managed to cover the spread as 4.5-point underdogs. The teams combined for a total of 51 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 48. In the losing effort, the Giants blew a 3-point lead heading into the 4th quarter, as Minnesota outscored them by 6 in the final period. Through 15 games, the Giants have an ATS record of 11-4. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-9. This week's betting total of 39.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Giants prepare to take on Indianapolis, they are ranked 20th in points per game at 20.7. Despite, New York coming into the game with a good matchup on offense, our projections show that the team could be in line for a tough game in terms of scoring. Look for the Giants to try to attack a Colts secondary that is ranked 26th in passer rating allowed. On the ground, the Giants should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing team's in the league (6th) and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.
