The best sport betting sites favor the New York Jets over the Indianapolis Colts by 2½ points. That’s how low the Colts have sunken. That the best online sportsbooks has them as dogs versus the Jets must be a new nadir for Indy. The Colts will be looking to snap a three-game losing skid. Which will be harder without wide receiver TY Hilton and tight end Jack Doyle. Meanwhile, the Jets will be shooting for their first winning streak since the first quarter of last season. This Sunday will mark the 50th anniversary of the Jets winning the Super Bowl against the Baltimore Colts. The 1968 New York Jets team will be in attendance. In what they hope will be the football equivalent of a Civil War reenactment. And what the Colts hope will turn into a bit of revisionist history.
Betting Colts
No one attempts more passes in a single game than starting QB Andrew Luck. On the other hand, he averages just 6.09 yards per attempt. Luck has 12 TDs, which is not bad at all, but has obviously not been enough to get some Ws. However, it appears Luck is becoming more willing to go longer. Five of his 13 completions of 20 yards or more took place last week against the Pats. That could help Indy upset their best sport betting sites odds. Though it’ll be tough without the two targets mentioned above.
Betting NY Jets
The Jaguars held the Jets to 12 points in Week 4. And the Browns held them to 17 the prior week. The good news for Sam Darnold & Co. is that the Colts’ defense is nowhere near on par with the Brown’s or the Jags’. Indy’s defensive unit will have a particularly hard time handling running back Isaiah Crowell. The former Brown exploded with 219 yards in the Jets’ 34-16 win over the Broncos last week.

Our FREE Prediction: For as much as they would like to, the Colts simply cannot leave it all up to chance. Which as you know is another word for Luck. Andy can’t do it all. But what he should do is throw deeper into the Jets’ backfield. Otherwise, Indy will fail to cover the spread set by the best sport betting sites. As they have failed to do in in five of their last eight as a dog of at least two points.
