Colts vs. Patriots, Week 10: Pick against the spread
Indianapolis (4-5) continues to tread water despite losing No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson for the season due to shoulder surgery. Gardner Minshew has performed admirably in his place, helping keep the Colts scoring at a clip of 25.8 PPG (7th). Their defense has been the issue, ranking just 28th in the league in allowing 26.9 PPG so far this season.
New England (2-7) continues its nightmare season as they ride a two-game losing streak heading into Week 10. While the franchise has historically been sound one defense, the reality is that both sides of the ball have been an eyesore so far this season. The Patriots are scoring at a clip of just 15.0 PPG (31st) while their defense is giving up 25.3 PPG this season, good for 26th in the league.
Given that this is technically a neutral site game, it’s keen to understand how both have fared away from their home field. The Colts are 3-1 against the spread on the road, while the Patriots are a mere 1-3. When in doubt, roll with the team that is playing more consistent football at all three levels, and that is undoubtedly the Colts.
