Overview
- Indianapolis is roughly a 6.5 to 7-point favorite after sharp action toggled the spread, with about 70% of tickets on the Colts and a consensus total of 48.
- Daniel Jones has the Colts at 3-1 with a 71.9% completion rate and a 103.3 passer rating as the offense averages 30.8 points per game under Shane Steichen.
- Geno Smith leads the NFL with seven interceptions, including two three-pick games, and national analysis has floated that his starting job could be at risk if turnovers persist.
- The Colts’ secondary took a hit as Xavien Howard retired this week and Kenny Moore II is out, while Alec Pierce is out and Michael Pittman Jr. practiced after a hamstring issue.
- Rookie Ashton Jeanty is a Raiders bright spot after a 155-yard, three-touchdown breakout, but Las Vegas must protect without Miller as tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer and CB Eric Stokes are questionable.
