New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts Picks & Best Bets: NFL Prediction Betting Odds, Player Props & Trends
The New England Patriots look like the worst team in the AFC and just left cornerback J.C. Jackson in the United States for a mental reset as they make their way to Germany for a Week 10 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.
Suffice to say, we are a long way from the perennial Super Bowl champions of years past. Coach Bill Belichick hopes to get things turned around for his 2-7 squad, but a high pick in the 2024 NFL draft is more likely than the playoffs.
The Colts are 4-5 on the season and have been instituted as 1.5-point favorites as these teams head overseas for a neutral site matchup. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew will be the starter the rest of the season with rookie Anthony Richardson on injured reserve, and thus far he’s performed admirably.
It feels like the oddsmakers are giving Belichick some respect with these betting odds because the Colts have clearly been the superior team this season. Great coaching does matter, but anyone watching the games this season should feel confident in backing Indianapolis on the moneyline and to cover a small spread.
