The Colts’ defense has been steady. Nick Cross leads with 34 tackles, and Cam Bynum has 2 interceptions. The pass rush is spread across several players, helping to stall drives for opponents with sacks and QB pressures. Kicker Spencer Shrader is 13-of-14 on field goals and has not missed an extra point, giving Indianapolis a strong kicking game.

Las Vegas Raiders vs Indianapolis Colts Prediction

The Colts have the more reliable quarterback, a stronger running game, and a defense that makes more stops. Las Vegas has weapons, but turnovers and problems protecting the passer make it tough to have sustained drives. At home, Indianapolis will control the game from start to finish. Final Score Prediction: Indianapolis Colts win and cover ATS 30-20.
