This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER Colts/Broncos.

Both teams are in dire need of a victory. Both teams are in dire need of a big offensive showing.

Both Colts' QB Matt Ryan and Denver QB Russell Wilson are surely second guessing their decisions to move to a new team this season.

Regardless, I expect these veteran pivots to respond in a big way here. The Colts are 1-2-1 and the Broncos are 2-2. Neither can afford another loss here.

Interestingly, Indianapolis has seen the total go UNDER in all four of its games this season, while Denver has seen the total go 1-3.

There's no question that scoring is down in PRIME-TIME NFL games this year, but that fact has only helped in driving today's total just a few points lower than it normally should be.

I'm expecting a much more wide open affair than what this O/U line is suggesting. The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
