NFL Predictions
NFL Picks continues with the Kansas City Chiefs going up against the floundering Indianapolis Colts. The Chiefs are undefeated this season with back-to-back solid performances. Meanwhile, the Colts have looked like one of the worst teams in football, falling into a tie with the Houston Texans and a shutout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Who would have ever thought we would say that through two weeks?
The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t look great in their last win, but that’s to their standards. This is still one of the hardest to beta teams in the NFL right now. Patrick Mahomes threw for 235 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions while Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed for 74 yards on a 9.3 yards per carry average. Defensively, the Chiefs didn’t do much that was impactful against the Los Angeles Chargers. They did come up with a HUGE 100-yard interception return for a touchdown, but it’s hard to bet that this is going to happen for a second straight week. For right now, it’s not a time to doubt the Chiefs.
Look, the Colts have some serious issues. It’s getting to the point where there is so many, I don’t know where to start. The Colts just got shut out by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Matt Ryan threw for just 195 yards and three interceptions during the contest, and they only rushed the football 13 times. Jonathan Taylor had nine attempts for 54 yards, yet they stopped going to that well when it was clearly working. Honestly, you can’t blame the defense for keeping them in games that they deserve to get blown out in. This is all on the coaching staff and the offense. Any mistakes usually lead to points for the Chiefs and turning the football over has been a staple in the Colts offense so far this season.
NFL Picks Today
The spread has the Chiefs as the favorites for this game at –5.5 points. This is a pretty straightforward game to make a choice for. What we’ve seen from the Colts has been absolutely horrendous offensively. I just can’t see any way that they dominate time of possession and outscore the Chiefs in this game. Patrick Mahomes and this offense are going to come out firing, and you can bet on them capitalizing off of Indianapolis mistakes. For this game, I’m taking the Chiefs in this game with the points with a TON of confidence. The Colts have to show significantly more.
The total for this game is set at 50.5 points. Once again, I’m liking the over here. The Chiefs are a fantastic offense and has been for the past few years now. Couple this with the fact that the Colts keep turning the football over and are going to be without Shaquille Leonard due to a back injury, and you have yourselves a choice that feels like a guarantee.
Final Pick: Chiefs –5.5
Over/Under Choice: Over 50.5
