An AFC matchup on Sunday takes place in Indianapolis between the Buffalo Bills and the Indianapolis Colts. The Bills are running away with the AFC East, meanwhile, the Colts are fighting for a playoff spot in the AFC. Josh Allen has playing at an MVP level. But could this be a big sandwich spot for the Bills as they have the Chiefs on deck? Below are my Bills at Colts Preview and Predictions.
The big news in this game will be the absence of Keon Coleman for the Buffalo Bills. A team that has been thin at the wide receiver position will rely on Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakir. As I mentioned above, the Bills do have the Chiefs on deck in a big playoff seeding implication matchup. Additionally, the Bills are listing Amari Cooper and Curtis Samuel as questionable for this game.
Meanwhile, the Colts are starting Joe Flacco at the quarterback position and will be without Michael Pittman Jr. in this game. Outside of that the Colts do come into this game healthy. Defensive end DeForest Buckner is questionable in this game for the Colts.
Bills vs. Colts Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
Historically, we know the Bills have not had success against the Chiefs in the playoffs and I believe they are looking ahead to them in this game. Bills are playing great football and have impressive victories this season. However, the Colts can keep this game competitive, especially at home. Since the 2023 season, the Colts are 7-6 SU and 8-5 ATS.
As I mentioned above, the Bills are limited with their receiving group as Keon Coleman will be out in this game. Will this be a heavy James Cook game? The Colts will start Joe Flacco for the foreseeable future but I do believe this is an opportunity for the Colts to keep this game competitive. With the Chiefs on deck, I’ll take the Colts in this game.
Best Bet: Colts +4
Player Prop Best Bet
Jonathan Taylor Over 19.5 Receiving Yards
One prop bet that has been very profitable this season has been receiving yards for running backs against the Bills. Thus far this season, the Bills are allowing 58.22 receiving yards to the running back position. Every running back except two have gone over this projection against the Bills. I would expect Taylor to be involved in the passing game for the Colts.
