Indianapolis Colts NFL Week 11 Betting Lines
After granting NFL bettors with six straight NFL spread covers, the Indianapolis Colts have been hit with a bout of negative regression after dropping a non-covering 30-20 decision to the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. The defeat proved to be the team’s third straight firmly putting it on the bubble in terms of qualifying for the postseason. Though the Colts competed with Josh Allen and Co. in both the yardage and time of possession battles, turnovers (4) and an inability to seal the deal in the red zone (2/4) ultimately saw Indianapolis absorb its sixth overall loss and second through five tries in front of the hometown faithful. Since taking over the QB1 duties heading into the Week 9 tilt at Minnesota, Joe Flacco has only thrown for 451 yards and 2 TD. Most bothersome however are the four interceptions with three coming against the Bills. It’s likely only a matter of time until Anthony Richardson is given back the starting job with the move to the veteran not paying off like Shane Steichen and upper management had hoped. That train of thought will be put to the test in Week 11 betting action when the Colts hit the road—looking to improve their 1-4 straight up and 3-2 against the spread records—against a New York Jets defense that’s only come up with a pair of interceptions. Should the errant passes continue Sunday afternoon, it wouldn’t at all be shocking to see Richardson inserted back under center in-game against a franchise that’s seemingly lost its way.
Losers of three straight, the Colts futures odds fattened up across the board once again. Their odds of winning it all jumped to 250-1 from 150-1, while their chances of representing the AFC in Super Bowl LIX swelled to 130-1 from 70-1. Indy’s odds of winning the AFC South hopped to 15-1 from 12-1 after initially surfacing +325, while its adjusted in-season win total remained 7.5 with heavier juice now 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 +225 and -320 respectively.

Indianapolis Colts Week 11 Matchup
On Sunday, November 17, 2024, the Indianapolis Colts will take on the New York Jets from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS. The lookahead NFL Week 11 betting lines opened with the Colts installed 3.5-point road dogs and Over/Under (O/U) set at 44. NFL bettors seemingly have no idea what to do with either of these underachievers when gauging current action reports from the online sportsbook. The bet count for both teams chimes in at 50 percent, while Indianapolis has taken in 60 percent of the early money. Makes sense in what’s been deemed a near coin flip and the Colts currently taking back the hook. The total market is yet to move off the opener as well even though NFL crypto bettors have pounded the over with 80+ percent of the tickets and nearly 60 percent of the handle. Indy has gone off the NFL betting board 3-4 point road underdogs four prior times under Steichen’s watch—its 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS in those matchups with 53.8 points scored on average. The lone cover occurred in Week 5 of this season when it dropped a crazy 37-34 decision in Jacksonville, also as 3.5-point underdogs.
Indianapolis Colts Week 10 Recap
The Indianapolis Colts struggled in a 30-20 NFL odds loss to the Buffalo Bills, to incur a third straight defeat and fall further out of the AFC playoff picture. Despite a strong showing from running back Jonathan Taylor, who had 114 rushing yards on 21 carries, Indianapolis couldn't overcome costly turnovers and defensive lapses. Rookie receiver Adonai Mitchell made an impact with six receptions for 71 yards, showing potential in a game that saw veteran quarterback Joe Flacco throw for 272 yards and two touchdowns, but also three interceptions. Flacco’s mistakes proved costly as Buffalo’s defense set the tone early with a pick-6 by Taron Johnson on Flacco’s first pass of the game. Another interception quickly led to a Buffalo field goal, putting Indy in an early 10-0 hole. Flacco found some rhythm later on, connecting on a 2-yard touchdown to Tyler Goodson and setting up a field goal to briefly give the Colts a 13-10 lead. However, Buffalo’s Josh Allen responded with a rushing touchdown and continued to press the Colts’ defense, ultimately securing the win with contributions from both Allen and running back James Cook. Injuries also hampered the Colts, as they played without top receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and lost left tackle Bernhard Raimann mid-game, complicating their comeback efforts. Now 4-6 SU and 7-3 against the NFL spread, the Colts find themselves sitting on the AFC bubble heading into the back half of their schedule.
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.
