(NFL) Indianapolis vs. Denver,
Total: 47.00 | -105.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the UNDER between the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos.

Setting the scene: Indianapolis comes to town off a brutal 39-35 setback at home to Detroit in its opener, while Denver held on for a 21-20 win on Opening night over Carolina in the Super Bowl 50 rematch. We look for the home side to once again keep it simple today and to have Trevor Siemian simply "manage" the game, pound the ball on the ground and play their patented style of shutdown defense. We're also expecting the visitors to come out with an extreme focus on the defensive side of the ball after last week's disaster.

The Colts: The offense looked great (albeit against an atrocious Lions defense), posting the 35 points and committing zero turnovers. Clearly the unit is going to have a much more difficult time this week at Mile High and facing the league's best defense though.

The Broncos: Siemian was 18 of 26 for 178 yards, a TD and two INT's last week. Siemian though benefitted greatly by the play of RB CJ Anderson, who had 90 yards and a TD off 20 carries. He also had a receiving TD. It'll be simply be more of the same for the offense this week, limit mistakes, pound the ball and take advantage of the field position the defense gives it.

The bottom line: Are the Colts really as bad on the defensive side of the ball as what we saw in Week 1? The unit obviously catches a break this week, as Siemian isn't going to be throwing balls all around the field like Matt Stafford was. Indianapolis will be playing with a chip on its shoulder as it looks to match pace with the hard-nosed Broncos. All signs do indeed point to the UNDER as the savvy move in this contest.
