Why the Denver Broncos are a good bet +6 ½?
The Denver Broncos only have a couple of wins this season. However, both wins impressed. They upset the L.A. Chargers 20-13 on the road and they held Tennessee to 0 points in a 16-0 victory at home.
In Week 7, the Broncos battled the Kansas City Chiefs. Although they failed to do much of anything on offense, with a few slight adjustments, the Broncos could provide a much better performance on Sunday against the Colts. Denver has a very good defense, one that holds teams to under 20 points per. Denver, although they might not win SU, can provide a decent enough performance for an ATS victory.

Why the Indianapolis Colts are a good bet -6 ½?
The Colts are on a roll. Indianapolis upset Kansas City 19-13 on Oct. 6. After their bye, they beat the Houston Texans 30-23 in Week 7. There’s no reason to believe that a team that averages 16 points per game can keep up with the Jacoby Brissett led Colts who are on fire. Brissett leads an offense that can pretty much play any style and win. That gives Indy a huge advantage in this game.

Broncos vs Colts Final NFL Betting Analysis
On paper, this is an absolute mismatch. Denver has a single way to go, and that’s to eat up clock and hope to kick field goals. Although all that’s true, the Colts will often play the style their opponent prefers.
That’s the key with handicapping this matchup. As good as the Colts are, they don’t force any specific style. On offense, they take what the defense gives them. Check out the 19-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, a game that most felt should have been a shootout, or the 19-17 victory over Tennessee.
Denver won’t force the issue while they’ll play good defense. Indianapolis will be perfectly happy playing a tight matchup into the fourth quarter where they’ll hope to break it open. This is a different matchup for the Broncos, one in which, as crazy as it sounds, they win can straight up. Take the points on Denver.
