What was once an epic Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady rivalry is now a matchup of two teams with losing records. That’s what we have with the New England Patriots hosting the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday, but that doesn’t mean it’s not set to be an interesting clash. Therefore, we’ve still got our top Colts vs. Patriots predictions for you.

That will lead into the best bet from our Colts vs. Patriots picks PLUS a $150 DraftKings Sportsbook sign up offer.

 

 

 

Colts vs. Patriots Predictions For NFL Week 13, Sunday 12/1

If there have been two teams difficult to predict this season, it’s the Colts and Patriots. We’ve seen Indy beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, have amazingly close games and get crushed just last weekend. We’ve seen New England ruin survivor pools, pull off a road blowout and get smacked against a division rival last Sunday.

So, we aren’t surprised to see the Colts vs. Patriots odds suggesting a rather close matchup. However, Indy is still the favorite despite being on the road, and we’d agree with that assessment. 

It’s their defense that has been the issue, but the Pats simply haven’t proven to have an explosive offense. Now, we do think they can move the ball with RB Rhamondre Stevenson, but ultimately, not enough to pull off the upset.
 

 

 

Indianapolis Colts: Bucking The Trend

There is a glaring trend that is going to massively support the top pick from our Colts vs. Patriots predictions, but Indy will also need to erase a different narrative. That is the fact that teams that have just faced the Detroit Lions have done awful the following week.

Not only have the Lions been lighting teams up themselves, but apparently, they’ve been doing so in such a physical fashion that teams have been losing their next matchups as well. The Colts just lost a 24-6 game to Detroit this past Sunday, so they’ll need to stop that streak. Again, there is more support to suggest that they’ll be able to do just that!
 

 

 

New England Patriots: Putting Up A Fight

As mentioned, New England has been so interesting to monitor for bettors this season, as they look like world-beaters as nearly double-digit underdogs while also hardly putting up a fight at all in an AFC East rivalry.

Sitting at just 3-8 on the season, they’re all but eliminated from playoff contention, so now it’s all about predicting if they will even be competitive. With head coach Bill Belichick at the helm, that would be a bit of a one-sided question, but the franchise is completely different these days. Rookie QB Drake Maye certainly seems to be developing well, so there is reason to believe in a bright future for New England.

Colts vs. Patriots Best Bet: Indianapolis -2 (-110 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

To finally explain why we’ve been reiterating the road favorite aspect of this matchup. We’re comfortable backing what is otherwise a dicey spot given how road favorites have been performing this season.

They are a whopping 41-29-3 against the spread this season, good for a remarkable 58.6% hit rate. While it’s difficult to imagine that being a sustainable mark to some, we’re now through more than 12 weeks of the NFL season, so it’s a trend that simply cannot be ignored.

The only pushback that we would note for this matchup is the lack of physicality in terms of the Colts run defense. New England has seen some strong performances from the aforementioned Stevenson, but the good news for Indy backers is that their run defense has been of the bend-don’t-break variety.

While they have allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game, they have been keeping rushing attacks out of the endzone. Last Sunday’s game against a Lions team scoring multiple rushing touchdowns per game has skewed things a bit, but without that outlier, Indy has been stout in the redzone.

New England’s defense also hasn’t been as feared as the past two seasons, so we’re comfortable backing the road favorite trend and take Indianapolis -2 (-110 at DraftKings Sportsbook) as the best bet from our Colts vs. Patriots predictions.
 

 

 

Colts vs. Patriots Injury Report & Latest News

In terms of injury news, both teams have had injuries to the QB position. However, as for the expected ones for this Sunday, both Maye and Colts QB Anthony Richardson are ready to rock. So, it’s Indy WRs Alec Pierce and Josh Downs that we really need to keep an eye on, which you can do with the NFL injury report at Fantasy Alarm!
