Stephen Nover's NFL Bookie Basher
(NFL) Colts (IND) vs. Broncos (DEN),
Point Spread: 5.00 | -110.00 Colts (IND) (Away)
Result: Loss
Just not sold on the Broncos in this price range. The Broncos have failed to win in their AFC step-up games, losing to the Steelers, Chargers, Ravens and Chiefs.

The Colts aren't in the class of those teams. However, Indy is a playoff contender that keeps games close. The only two teams the Colts have lost to by more than one-score are the Lions and Bills.

Indianapolis has won its last two road games, both outdoors against the Patriots and Jets. The Colts catch a weather break here with the forecast calling for sunny skies and temperatures in the 50's.

The Colts also are off a bye. Bo Nix is a more accurate passer than Anthony Ricahrdson, but he lacks Richardson's dual-threat big-play ability. Richardson has a winning record as an NFL starter.

Denver could be fat and happy having won three in a row. Those victories were against the Browns, Raiders and Falcons. Those teams all have losing records.
