Chiefs vs Colts Prediction
A lot of people are going to be on the Colts and the points, as they’ve been a solid team all year and have had an extra week to prepare. The Chiefs are also experiencing a down year by their standards and are coming off two shaky losses. I get it, and I usually love my dogs that have the rest advantage. However, we’re getting the Chiefs at home as a reasonable favorite. You don’t get these chances often.
The Chiefs have won and covered four straight home games when favorites of 4 or fewer points. They’ve won those games by an average of 7.75 points. The Chiefs have covered 9 of their 14 home games when favorites of 4 or fewer points. I’ll side with the Chiefs and the reasonable number.
