Betting on the Indianapolis Colts
This season has been a complete disaster for the Colts both on the gridiron and organizationally.
Now, they head into this game as one of the worst teams in the league and with the dilemma of whether to continue to drop in the standings for a better spot in the draft, or to go out and give a blow to the Giants, who need to win.
The Colts are one of the worst offensive teams in the league having scored 248 points, the second-lowest total, and they are first in turnovers with 30.The reason behind these stats is that they have lost all games but one this season. Moreover, they had nine turnovers in the last three games they have played.
Betting on the New York Giants
After five seasons, New York is finally anticipating the postseason, and a victory would almost certainly guarantee them the second NFC wild card spot.
To do so, the Giants must improve their offensive performance, which has been good at attacking on the ground by scoring the fifth most TDs in the league with 18. However, their ability regarding passes is concerning. They are seventh in touchdown passes and sixth in total passing yards, which is worrying, as they’ll be up against a strong defense like the Colts’.
On the defensive side, New York has also struggled to work lately and in four of the last six games they have conceded at least 27 points, although this time they will have to face a very weak Colts offense.
JefeBet Prediction
In a matchup that pits two underproductive offenses against each other, the Giants should come out on top. At least they have a good ground attack with the presence of Saquon Barkley and have not scored less than 20 points in five games.
Indianapolis’ defense is good, but the Colts have scored 10 points or less four times this year and without Jonathan Taylor available, their offense is virtually non-existent, especially if they are losing turnovers left and right.
Prediction: Under (NY 23 – IND 13).
