Indianapolis Colts +3
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday afternoon and I think the Colts continue their recent run of strong play and at worst, do enough in this one to cover with the points.
Tampa Bay is no question one of the Super Bowl favorites and are coming off an impressive 30-10 victory at home against New York this past Monday night, however, the Buccaneers just haven’t looked the same on the road this season as they come into this game with just a 2-3 road record with recent losses against New Orleans & Washington.
Indianapolis has won three straight games and is coming off their most impressive victory of the season in a 41-15 win against Buffalo.
The Buccaneers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Colts are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
Indianapolis has arguably the best RB in the league right now in Jonathan Taylor, who despite going up a very tough Tampa Bay running defense, still should have success and as I like how Carson Wentz has done a great job protecting the football this season (18 to 3 TD/INT Ratio), I think the play here is to take the Colts and the points. Good Luck!
