Point Spread: -9.00 | -105.00 New England (Away)
Result: Loss
The New England Patriots have destroyed everything in their path this season, and some say they are playing angry after having their name dragged through the mud in the Deflate-Gate scandal. Well if that is truly what has inspired them, surely the Colts would be number one on their hit list, and they have a chance to execute a little revenge in Indianapolis on Sunday Night Football.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Colts Defense - Indianapolis ranks 27th in the NFL against the pass, which is even more concerning when you consider that the highest ranked passing offense they have faced so far has been the Jacksonville Jaguars. They were also lit up by the Jets, Bills, Texans and Titans, teams that all rank in the bottom half of the league in passing.
2. Previous History - The Patriots have won six straight versus the Colts, and they've covered the spread in each of the last four meetings. They've outscored the Colts 189-73 in those four games.
3. X-Factor - The Patriots are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 meetings in Indianapolis.
Selection: This is a play on the New England Patriots (8*)
