Indianapolis Colts NFL Week 15 Betting Lines

The Indianapolis Colts came up with a huge show me win against the New England Patriots before heading into their Week 14 bye largely due to Anthony Richardson taking the bull by the horns and letting NFL bettors know he is him. Though Shane Steichen’s troops ultimately failed to cover the closing 2.5-point NFL spread in the 25-24 triumph, the decision to go for two and the win in the closing moments lets it be known that Indy is prepared to do whatever it takes to punch a ticket to the postseason. It also looks to be evolving with No. 5 under center winning a game it got severely outgained in (253-422) while losing both the turnover (2-1) and time of possession (9+ minutes) battles. That makes it two straight one-point wins away from Lucas Oil for the Colts who return from the off week just on the outside looking into the AFC playoff picture sitting 6-7 straight up and 8-5 against the spread with three of those triumphs coming on the road. With a highly manageable schedule to close the year and owners of a 27 percent playoff probability heading into their Week 15 betting showdown with the Denver Broncos, the Colts are a team NFL bettors should be paying extra special attention to with only four games remaining in the regular season.

The Colts futures odds mostly held firm while on bye with their odds of winning it all staying put at 300-1, while their chances of representing the AFC in Super Bowl LIX also remained static at 140-1. Its odds of winning the AFC South did however shorten up a bit from 14-1 to 9-1 after initially hitting the board +325, while its adjusted in-season win total stuck at 8.5 with heavier juice still residing on the under. The “Yes” to reach the playoffs initially hit the board +145 with the “No” -175, but each can now be had at +210 and -270 respectively with four bullets remaining in the chamber to steal a bid.

Indianapolis Colts Week 14 Recap

The Indianapolis Colts showcased resilience in their outright 25-24 NFL odds victory over the New England Patriots, spearheaded by second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson. Richardson delivered in clutch moments, throwing a decisive 3-yard touchdown pass to Alec Pierce with 12 seconds left and following it up with a game-winning 2-point conversion run. This marked Richardson’s second late-game comeback in three weeks, keeping the Colts’ postseason hopes alive at 6-7. Richardson completed 12 of 24 passes for 109 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also displayed poise under pressure, capitalizing on a pass-interference call to orchestrate the game-winning drive. Shane Steichen’s decision to go for two underscored the team’s confidence in Richardson, who took matters into his own hands with a run-pass option. Jonathan Taylor was pivotal, rushing 25 times for 96 yards, surpassing Marshall Faulk for third on the franchise’s all-time rushing list. Defensively, Julian Blackmon’s red-zone interception thwarted a Patriots scoring opportunity, proving critical in the narrow win. The Patriots dominated possession and gained a season-high 200 rushing yards but struggled to convert in the red zone, settling for field goals on four occasions. New England saw their playoff hopes extinguished, while Indy’s win sets them up for a favorable schedule against teams with losing records in hopes of punching a ticket to the dance.

2024 Indianapolis Colts Schedule, Results & Record

Since 1995 the Colts have been one of the most successful franchises in pro football. Indianapolis has missed the playoffs 11 times since then. Of course, much of that success was due to Peyton Manning, who led them to two Super Bowl appearances with one win. Indeed, Lucas Oil Stadium is the House that Peyton Built. The post-Manning era in Indianapolis has only seen the Colts punch a ticket to the postseason five of the last 13 years with the team failing to do so in each of the last three.
