This is a 10* AFC TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the OVER Colts/Raiders.

Both teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but I believe the overall situation that each finds itself coming into this one, combined with some strong O/U trends make the "OVER" the correct call finally in this matchup.

Indianapolis is now 3-5-1 after its listless 26-3 loss at the Patriots. The Colts' offense stinks, it's last in the league by averaging 14.7 PPG. Indianapolis just fired their coach Frank Reich, and have hired former player Jeff Saturday to take over. Look for this to have a positive affect on the team overall.

Sam Ehlinger is now the starting quarterback for Indianapolis, and RB Jonathan Taylor is expected to return this week as well.

The Raiders are 2-6 under Josh McDaniels. Simply put, this is a "must win" game for Las Vegas to keep its slim playoff hopes alive.

The weak point for the Raiders has been on the defensive end, allowing just over 25 PPG.

A huge and important game for both teams and for everyone involved. In my opinion, this number is low.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
