The Denver Broncos are primed to snap a long playoff drought and look to remain unbeaten as a -4 favorite when they host the desperate Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Per NFL betting trends, the Broncos are 6-0 as a favorite this season and 10-3 ATS, aiming to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2015 when Peyton Manning led them to a Super Bowl win. Denver has won three straight by more than a touchdown.
Indianapolis is two games behind Denver, Baltimore and the Los Angeles Chargers for the last three playoff spots. After Sunday’s game, the Colts have three teams left on the schedule who have combined for eight wins this season, so they still own a good chance.
The key to your online betting with this contest will be whether quarterback Anthony Richardson and the Colts offense can get anything done against a Denver defense that leads the league in sacks (47) and is tied for eighth with 12 interceptions.

Top 3 Colts vs Broncos Betting Picks
1. Dallas Broncos ATS (-4)
While Denver’s defense has continued to improve, the Broncos are a little ahead of schedule this season primarily because quarterback Bo Nix boasts Rookie of the Year type numbers. Nix is the second choice at +225 in NFL futures odds to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Nix has thrown for at least 273 yards with seven total touchdown passes the last three games The former Auburn and Oregon star may be a little behind Washington’s Jayden Danels for rookie honors, but not by much.

The Colts have not been good against the pass and Nix will be looking for Courtland Sutton (63 catches, 846 yards, five TDs) among a deep receiving corps. Denver should score enough to cover the spread.
Bet the Broncos ATS and add them to your NFL parlay.
2. Denver Broncos ML (-200)
The road is clear for Indianapolis in the final four weeks. Beat Denver and then ride it through wins over the struggling Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars.
However, nothing has come easy for the Colts in 2024. Per Colts vs Broncos stats, Indianapolis is just 2-4 in its past six games and barely pulled out a win at New England 25-24 before a bye week on Dec. 1
Perhaps the week off will focus Indianapolis on the task ahead, or it continues to be an inconsistent team with an inconsistent quarterback in Anthony Richardson and a passing attack that ranks near the bottom of the league.
ANTHONY RICHARDSON IS A BALLER

The key for your bet online will be holding down Denver’s pass rush and getting top running back Jonathan Taylor going. Taylor leads the Colts with 804 yards and five TDs on the ground, but is averaging a career-low 4.3 per carry.
Bet that the Colts can’t do enough against an emerging Broncos defense.

3. Colts vs Broncos Over 44
You can’t expect a big offensive show in this one, but coach Sean Payton has Denver’s offense perking and Indianapolis will be well rested.
No doubt the Colts will have trouble if they can’t contain pass rushing standouts Nik Bonitto (11 sacks) and Jonathon Cooper (eight).
Nik Bonitto this season:
🔵 11.0 sacks (T-2nd)

However, Richardson can get out of the pocket and find a variety of receivers like Alec Pierce (team-best 645 yards, five TDs), Josh Downs (team-high 53 catches) and Michael Pittman Jr.
Denver has put up 128 points the last three games. The Colts have had their moments on offense. The number is not that high for NFL picks.
