Indianapolis Colts vs Atlanta Falcons prediction

The Atlanta Falcons are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but we’re getting the Colts and free points in better form. The Falcon’s limited offense continues to stall, and they’ve lost 5 of their last 7 games, all but playing themselves out of a playoff spot. The Falcons just lost last week to a Panthers team that’s not even trying to win as they’re eyeing the first overall pick. Now they’re favored over a hot Colts team that’s had even more time to prepare? Not buying it. Give me the Colts.
