Los Angeles Chargers (8-6) vs. Indianapolis Colts (4-9-1)

The Spread: Chargers (-4.5)

I feel like I’m walking into a trap here. There’s no reason the Chargers should lose this game or it should even be close. Nick Foles is starting at QB for the Colts and I’m not sure if that makes me feel any better. I do like the fact that it could spark something on offense for the Colts though. The Colts defense has also been good this year for the most part. Obviously the big comeback last week doesn’t look great, but overall they’ve been able to keep the Colts in games this year. Call me crazy, but I think the Indy can keep this one close. I don’t know if I trust the Chargers to cover this big of a spread. They would have only covered 4 or 4.5 points as a favorite 3 times this season. The Colts on the other hand would’ve covered this number 8 times this season. I know it’s a risk jumping on the Colts in Nick Foles first start of the year, but there isn’t a lot of tape on him at QB in Indy and that could be a factor. The Colts keep this one closer than you’d think.

The Play: Colts +4.5

Total (46)

This basically comes down to if you think the Colts defense can slow down the Chargers. Based off my pick for the spread obviously that’s where I think this game is headed. I think the Colts can keep the Chargers in check and a Nick Foles led offense probably isn’t going to be putting up a ton of points tonight. If the Colts cover this will be a low scoring game. Go under here.

The Play: Under 46
