NFL Betting on the Indianapolis Colts
Today we are going to cover NFL betting on the Indianapolis Colts. If you want to learn how to bet on football, and on the Colts then read up. The Indianapolis Colts finished the 2017 NFL season with a 4-12 record, which was good for third place in the AFC South. Their disappointing season led the team to part ways with head coach Chuck Pagano. After firing Pagano, the Colts hired Frank Reich, who was the offensive coordinator for the Super Bowl winning Philadelphia Eagles last season.
With a new coach in town, the Colts are hoping to get back to their winning ways, but they have a lot of work ahead of them in what is expected to be a tough AFC South this season. The Colts NFL betting odds to win the Super Bowl is +4000.
The good news for the Colts and their fans is the fact that they will have quarterback Andrew Luck available this season, after he missed the entire 2017 campaign with a shoulder injury.
With Luck back in the lineup, the Colts’ quarterback play will be much better than it was last season, which should improve their chances in the division.
Indianapolis Colts Wagering Odds
The Colts addressed their offensive line issues in the draft, selecting guard Quenton Nelson with the sixth pick, and Braden Smith with their second round pick. The team is hoping their revamped offensive line will help keep Luck healthy this season.
Indianapolis’ running game is one of the team’s biggest question marks going into the season, after letting Frank Gore, who led the team with 961 rushing yards last season, leave in free agency. At 35-years-old, Gore is past his prime, but still has enough left in the tank to give the team a legitimate rushing attack. Now, they will be relying on second-year back, Marlon Mack, who had 358 yards last season, to take over the starting role.
Defensively, the Colts improved their defensive line and linebackers’ corps. They are hoping the improved defense helps them get back into the playoffs this season.
The Indianapolis Colts will be better than they were last season, but they will have some tough competition in the AFC South with the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans looking much better than they were last season.
