00:00Let's move on to the Colts and the Broncos. This is a an actual huge game when it comes

00:08to the AFC playoff picture. Colts are sitting at eighth, they're six and seven. The Broncos

00:15are at home in this matchup and they're sitting in the seventh seed at eight and five. This

00:19is a huge spot for the Broncos to potentially pick up a win and help secure their odds.

00:24This game is a 44 and a half over under. It is a three and a half point spread in favor

00:28of the Broncos. It is juiced at minus 122 for the Broncos. I got to say I kind of like

00:34the Colts in this one. You're getting plus 100 for the Colts. If you like them now, I

00:38would say grab the three and a half now before it potentially moves to three. I think that

00:42would be a spot to go. However, in this game, although I do like the Colts, I have bet on

00:48Anthony Richardson under 28 and a half passing attempts at sitting at minus 120. Ultimately,

00:54this is a spot that I see somewhat similar to the Saints where, you know, Bo Nix in that

00:59offense, they are moving and Bo Nix has looked significantly better, especially in the past

01:03few weeks than he did in the beginning portion of the season. I don't think the Colts want

01:07to turn this into a shootout versus the Broncos because ultimately I think the Broncos would

01:12prevail pretty easily in that circumstance. So what does that mean for the Colts and kind

01:17of their plan all season is let's get Jonathan Taylor involved. Let's get Jonathan Taylor

01:21involved early and often. Let's get him on the ground moving. Let's control the clock

01:25because if Richardson needs to throw the ball 3035 times, whatever it might be, that's when

01:31they expose themselves to the most risk just because he is turnover prone. So in order

01:35to mitigate that risk, they need to have Richardson have a controlled offense and it's not throwing

01:41the ball 35 times. It's running the ball with Taylor running the ball friction. They take

01:45the shots when they need to in the passing game. So give me the Colts at plus three and

01:48a half Anthony Richardson under 28 and a half passing attempts.
