Colts vs Bills Expert Prediction & Pick. All expert predictions and picks are according to Bill Bender of Sporting News. Winner: Bills Spread Pick: Bills. Colts vs Bills Betting Trends - Indianapolis is 4-1 straight up in its last five games. Indianapolis is 2-4 against the spread (ATS) in its last six games. Colts notes: QB PHILIP RIVERS passed for 4,169 yards & 24 TDs vs. 11 INTs for 97 rating in 2020, his 12th-career season with 4,000+ pass yards, tied 2nd-most in NFL history.

The Colts have had to replace many spots on the coaching staff this offseason. Former offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni took the head coaching job with the Philadelphia Eagles and took with him three assistants from the coaching staff.

Mawae played 16 seasons in the NFL with three different teams – the Seahawks (1994-1997), Jets (1998-2005) and Titans (2006-2009). He was a three-time first-team All-Pro selection and an eight-time Pro Bowl selection. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019.

Even though former assistant offensive line coach Klayton Adams reversed his course and decided to stay after accepting a job at Arizona State, Mawae will be holding the former’s role on the coaching staff.

Colts at Raiders: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Colts 33, Raiders 27

Money line (?)

The Raiders, after looking like they were turning a corner, now are coming off two bad games. They lost 43-6 to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12 and were lucky to beat the winless New York Jets in Week 13 on a deep pass from Carr to WR Henry Ruggs III with 13 seconds left in the game.

Take the COLTS (-170).

Against the spread (?)

The Colts have covered the spread in three of their last four games. Las Vegas, after covering in four straight, has failed to do so in each of its last two games.

Indianapolis Colts Betting Line Week

The Colts are 7-4 ATS when favored. Las Vegas is 4-3 ATS as the underdog. With less than a field goal as the spread, it isn’t usually worth going against the money line bet. Take the COLTS -3 (-110).

Over/Under (?)

The projected 51.5 points seems high for this game but both teams combine to average 54 points per game. Indy’s games have gone Over in three of their last four. Eight of the Raiders’ 12 games have gone Over. Expect some firepower, especially in the fourth quarter.

Indianapolis Colts Betting Line For Today

Take OVER 51.5 (-115).
